Reactivating this old thread to ask the "dippers" what vendors they used to get the trunk lid dipped and then e-coated?!
My rear trunklid and hood sound like rattles when I pick them up and move them from the rust rolling around...(63 vert).
Thanks for the help.

Re: Custom shop in DC area or Richmond?

One of them I can't remember the name of right now, but he is down South on Hwy 1 near Triangle/Quantico area. He had a black 64-ish (couldn't see th...

Re: 63 Convertible 4.6 Build
Awesome...I need to go take a look. I am going to pull the springs and struts up front and fab some rods for ride height measurement so I can get the struts made.

Radiator has Cobra brackets bolted to it and it looks like they were made for this little spot right here....which the radiator tucks into nice and easy. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5667/20516455232_5d8c3be9e1_c.jpg The tubing here needs to get notched back a bit for some clearance for the radiat...

Re: 63 Convertible 4.6 Build
topsdrops...no, it doesn't matter what year motor if it is a modular 4.6L or similar motor based on that block architecture (think 5.4L only you will have problems with hood clearance).

Re: Cost of putting a modern motor in a suicide-door Lincoln
Whoa, whoa, whoa on the "lotta as of yet unsuccessful attempts." As you can see from what the other folks here have outlined, unless you have purchased your car (at what price??) and have a good 50 g's of expendable cash lying around, it takes a good bit of time to work on one of these con...

Re: Vintage Air Experiences?
I am going to run the Gen IV and make it work in my stock dash. Just plan on gutting what you dont need and make sure you get some new vent piping from them so you can run it how you see fit to make it all work. Worse case, you can visit the upholstery shop after and have them make some carpeted cov...

Re: 5.4 DOHC for my 64.
I am wondering who your EEC IV guru is? You are in New Orleans, so if you havent talked to Cody at StangHi Performance in Baton Rouge, he is a guru as well and has a dyno to sort her out. BUT, before you get there, dont reinvent the wheel. Call these guys: http://dunne-rite.com/ Check out my build p...
