As reported on our live news feed on September 29, 2002 by the Spokane Washington News, Ford has promised the government and all federal, state, and local police departments to place a metal plate between the passenger compartment and the fuel tank on all Crown Vics in use by police. This promise does not include "civilian" non-police owned vehicles. Crown Vics are owned by 80% of all U.S. police departments and the repairs are expected to cost Ford about fifty-million dollars.
As many of you might remember, Classic Mustang Analyzer News reported on this problem as it related to classic 1964-1966 Mustangs several years ago. In case you are not aware, and if you drive one of these classics, then a retro repair of a steel or aluminum plate between the passenger compartment and gas tank is highly recommended. This will keep the gas from splashing into the passenger compartment in case of a rear end collision. Simply remove the cardboard sound absorber behind the rear seat and use it as a template for the metal piece. Look for a machine or welding shop in your area and ask if they will do the work for you. Most shops will cut and debur the edges for you for around $100-$150 plus the cost of the metal plate. If you choose the aluminum, make sure it's thick enough to be effective, probably around 1/4", with the steel at lease 1/8". Sheet metal thicker than this is also available, say 3/8" if you are very concerned, but 1/2" is probably overkill.

The 15th Annual Fords at Englishtown will take place from October 18 through the 20th of 2002. The event is sponsored by Mustangs and Fast Fords Magazine, so if you are there you have a great chance of being in a future issue. Many of the cars there in previous years were in later issues. The weekend consists of drag racing at one of the countries premiere drag racing facilities, along with a giant two day car show. Awards will be presented both days and on Sunday all show class winners will receive an embroidered jacket. There is a class for every type of Ford or Mustang. Vendors can rent a space for only $50 per day. Find out more at Raceway Park at Englishtown NJ
