    Towing an M101 with my Crown Vic Station Wagon

    I had a crown vic wagon and towed all kinds of stuff . I had a trans cooler , 2" receiver style hitch , cargo coils and air bags in the rear . It was a great car for towing ( heavy and long ) .

    M819 RECEIVES NTC400!!

    Cut the hood where it naturaly rises and add a piecut of sheetmetal in , I didn't mean to make it as obvious as the old chevelles just using the basic idea . Also use rounded edges instead of sharp to make it look stock . What'ya think ?
