the craziest Continental project EVER!

[sykolincoln]

Looking better everyday, like the fill tank. The weather is finnaly warming up here gonna bring mine home this week and get back on it , hopefully with a vengence.

sweet!!! cant wait to see some progress!! im hoping to have a weekend soon to straight devote to knocking the body out on this beast and get it that last step closer to paint soon!

[sykolincoln]

had some custom spoons made of my design so I can straighten up the camber on the front, using heavy duty 2500 balljoints it did the trick, now my tires are perfect vertical rolling low. made of 1/2 because I dont need nothing heavier for this application.

[sykolincoln]

also finaly did the body work to the trunk lid along with the lower right quarter panel, its all roughed out in those areas now, so im just left with some upper fender work

Saw that I missed your question a bit back. We are officially relocated to Georgia, Peachtree City. Are we south enough from Atlanta to be neighbors?

Cars looking great, nice progress! Down in Destin, Florida right now for the fourth. The beaches here are nice!

[sykolincoln]

well I started back on trying to get the rough bodywork done to this monster so got onto the front end again





getting the body up top to match the hood and blocking the rest out halfway decent





hood fit alot nicer now





also blocked and did addtional work to the fenders as well along with blocking and repriming the roof






and for the first time in a long time it was solid again

[sykolincoln]

well got back on it again doing smaller spots like welding holes up and smothing over bad spots




along with finaly smoothing out the fender jambs and sealing them in well





then I decided to throw on some color on the outside at least till I have all my ducks in a row, then do my final paint only after I have my wheels, new chrome, full interior...etc...etc... no reason to paint it all wild and put junk back on it...


prepping her down







in the booth, getting ready

[sykolincoln]

fresh out after two cure cycles... it pinched up some but it will be a good solid base to fix all the body imperfections and other things that may pop up before I do my final paint







nothing special about the paint right now, just a black Limco Singlestage, witch I got to thank Accurate Auto Paint in Valdosta, GA the hookup







its a 20 footer right now, wich im happy about. I drive my car every day and shinny black is a whole lot better than ghetto shadetree faded primer black any day lol

[sykolincoln]

finaly started putting on some of the trim Ive had put up for years back on





here she is sipping at the pump





got some more stuff to post later...stay tuned!

[sykolincoln]

lol, yea not to many people pic up on the gas door, plus 62's didnt have a gas door on the quarter either

[sykolincoln]

what im working on now for her






this will take the place of the old fener gate pump ive been running, this will give me alot more movement as well.
