    my buddy's been looking for awhile and needs to find new drums (front and rear) for his 68 continental. i know its a bit new for this place but if any of you know a good place to look it'd be much appreciated so we can get this cruiser back on the road.

    68 Continental should be front disc, rear drum.
    Getting them turned or finding a donor is the only option if the drums are shot. There is a disc conversion for the rear of the 61 to 65. The company is http://www.gearheadengineer.com/
    You can try contacting them about a 65 and up conversion, they may be willing to help

    Also ask on the Lincoln Forum at: http://www.thelincolnforum.net
    Lots of guys have parts cars there, but the drums are not cheap to ship.

    If he has drum all around, it is older; or has been retoro fitted some how. From 65 forward the Continental had front disc.
