After some searching i found a 1963 Lincoln locally. My biggest concern when searching was that it ran since i would need to be able to move it on occasion and that it was rust free.
This is what i am starting with
Exterior is in great shape overall, few minor dents but nothing bad at all and most importantly zero rust
Interior needs lots of attention.
Quick Video of her running, it came with a 1967 462, that for some reason was installed back in 1970 (have the receipts) it seems to run very well, but i will be doing the timing chain soon.
Direction i'm going is, satin black, air bags on 22" rims, redo the black interior. This is going to be a driver, not a pristine show car, but just something that makes me happy driving from time to time.
Priority list.
1. Body (get it sanded and painted) since i'm painting it with a low sheen color, i am going to try and get away with using the cheap restoleum roller method.
2. Engine- get the timing gears replaced and clean it up a bit. Gas tank has been gone through and it has a new carb already so i am in good shape.
3. Get the interior cleaned and working. Windows needs some work, seats are torn and need to be replaced.
4. Suspension , i'm having a really tough time not moving this up the list. I found a local shop that is giving me a great deal on full airbag setup (FBSS) and i kind of want to do this now.
5. Drive it enjoy it and work on small stuff here and there.
