I'm Back!! With a new 64 project

Post by Suicide65 »

Well I couldn't stay away too long after selling my 65 convertible, and just picked up a 64 sedan that I'll be working on until I get my parts shipment for my 1970 Chevy C10 Short Bed project.

This is an original Southern California car, bought from the 2nd owner who has had the car for 20 years. Car is originally from Santa Ana, California and has never left SoCal. Original black car, black interior, black CA plate car. Motor/Tranny have been rebuilt and she runs and drives great.

Plans are to bag with a custom 4 link rear, all accuair with Elevel and ilevel, custom wheels, bangin stereo, to start.

Money talks, you'd have sold her too :smt003 I can always build another vert. This 64 is a quick flip.

The 64 was dropped off at the suspension shop today for the custom 4 link, and bag setup. Will have Accuair elevel and ilevel along with the exomount to clean it all up. Ordered a set of Colorado Customs 22" wheels that are one of a kind and will change the game for sure. Stay posted.

Quick sneak peek of the 64 after suspension work completed. Devious Customs in SoCal worked on this 64 to develop a true triangulated 4 link rear kit for the 64-69 Lincoln Continentals (mobsteels tend to lack the true triangulation). My 64 has the first one. Devious Customs will be bringing this kit to market soon.

I'll be sure to snap a few shots of the kit later this week.

FYI this is with no tunnel cut at all!!

Josh, looks good so far. I'd like to see the 4 link setup when it's complete.
