New guy here. Names Ben. Had this Lincoln for a little over a year.

And yes before anyone asks. I did shave the front marker lights, rear tail lights and the peak moldings.

Wait a minute, I think I recolonize those apartments. Are you at Big Trout Lodge? If you are that make 3 of us in Liberty Lake now. If you're not then those apartments are a dead ringer for the ones in my small town.
You're inspiring me to get mine done. How'd you bag yours, looks sweet.

Sorry man I live in pa.
Since 2 people askd how I bagged it. I built my own 4 link in the rear. Useing Qa1 high misalignment rod ends as my upper bars. And just your standard 2 1/4 bushings on the bottom bars. The front I used slam specilties a-arms and had to cut them up to lay out on a 22.Cut the spring pocket out and bagged it like you would a torsion bar vehicle. Because I wanted to use a 2600 series bag vs a 2500 series. (See pictures below)

The windows are out of the car for fear of breaking them. Thanks man. I figured I wanted to be different and break away from the normal Lincoln builds you see.

A few more pics from along the way. There was a ton of rust holes and terrible body work done to this car. I didn't take pics of that. Because I would like to forget all of it.

There was a lot of SHADY stuff done to these types of cars over the years....I have found some interesting stuff as well. I have to repair an entire rear quarter panel made of bondo soon.
