[sykolincoln]

ok finally had the chance to post again...


here is the right fender in primer after rough body work.... it turned out pretty good so far




heres an update on the drivers door panel, now you can kinda see where im headed



ill post some more pics after this weekend of everything as well.


oh and got my two chambers in!!! whoot!!!





just waiting on my exhaust gaskets and ill hook these babies up next week!

[sykolincoln]

got the drivers fender in rough bodywork and primer today




and smoothed out and primed my remolded drivers arm rest.



tomorow ill probably put the drivers interior door together so everyone can get an idea how it will be when done.




oh btw....Am I the only one that is putting in work now?

[sykolincoln]

got my new intake painted today





Ill paint some more engine parts when I take them off when I put the intake on

[sykolincoln]

well here ya go homies!! here is the drivers door panel nearly all smoothed out. Im pretty happy with the way it turned out, now I plan on getting some material and covering it so I can get an idea as to how I think the final product may look.




oh and spent some time after work today putting in my new muffs! And im super stoked as to how they turned out, they fit very neatly and tightly in the rear corners of my car just where I wanted them.
sorry I forgot to take and underside shot when I had it on the lift, I will get one I need to put two more exhuast hangers underneath... its sturdy and dosnt move but I like overkill





oh also need to order some 2 1/2 straight chrome tips to put in place of the temp tips

I've been blessed two ways:
1) I'm in my brother-in-laws shop this year so I have plenty of room.
2) My wife got a killer job making way more money than I ever did but travels a lot so someone had to stay home with the kids. And whats a guy to do when the kids are at school all day after the house is cleaned? :smt003 :smt003 Lincoln time!
Side note:
Looks awesome Sykolincoln keep the progress coming. Trying my hand at fiberglassing repairs on my broken armrest next. Not as cool as your metal ones.
house is sold should be in GA in May. Snowed five inches and then w=rained all the next day while 70 degrees in GA.

[sykolincoln]

[sykolincoln]

back for some updates!


finaly tired of riding static and decided if I dont get my ass in gear ill have paint on this unit before the hydraulics are working!! soo.... I allready have my plans laid out to order a few things but I went ahead and setup a single dump gate pump for the rear and hooked it up so I can lift the rear for some travel again...little did I know in my infinite wisdom of hyrdraulics I went with a too tall of a cylinder and they hit the underside of my deck when hitting a heavy bump....doh! and durrrr.... I should have known better but sometimes I just see stars..lol got some 8 inch cyls comming next week that will fix that slight problem...






also got tired of my roof lookin like dook so in the little bit of free time at work I welded the emblem holes up, seamed sealed the drip channels and blocked the roof







then threw on some primey prime........cant wait to finish up the body work on the right side!!









ill do some more work next week for sure!! hopefully I will be ordering my manifolds for my hydro pump and finaly finish my suspension!!

[darrylqmiller]
