Projects Diamond in the rough... 1954 Lincoln Capri

Bek, I wonder if Ford Aerostar springs will fit the Lincoln, they fit the Ford and Mercurys and drop the front end by 2". You're doing a great job on it, I've been subscribed from the start. Merry Christmas.

 

I love these cars, yours will look great . With that O.G. Interior, it will set it off.

 

Aww thank you I really appreciate that. and I will have to figure it out as far as the springs go cause I honestly don't know I will have to ask the manfriend and see what he has to say... Merry Christmas!

 

Ok, im sorry if i missed something, i didnt read all of it...Just the first page and last page, But why does the car always have one fender on it? first page it was the driver side now passenger side. Sorry just thought it was a little funny.
Awesome Lincoln!!
And have a merry xmas!

 

um well to answer that question.. when we got the car the person who owned it before had pretty much taken everything apart and threw the bolts and everything it to a container or the ground so when we got it we honestly don't know what bolt or screw holds it on so they were placed on the car just for pictures because they are bare metal along with the rest of the car. also the inner fenders and where the radiator support is is suppose to be all one big piece of metal that help holds the fenders on but they previous owner once again.... cut them all up so the fenders are really just barely hanging on... does that make sense and help a little?

 

Here is some inspiration for ya... this is my buddys 55, this is the one that he had fun tracking down a few little things for, but in the end turned out pretty damn nice! he tried to make the lincoln a little more user friendly with a SBC with an auto..

 

Always liked these Lincoln. Nice start for a project

 

Thank you I really like it a lot!

 

Sorry I haven't updated in a while... now that its getting warmer. I want to get stuff rolling! last week we brought a lot of stuff back to the house from a friends house including the original valve covers, back seat and a couple other things. I have also bought a few things. Progress is slow because the man is working on his car to get it suitable to take to the drags.. and I don't mind that either.

 

Great build here, Sister.

 

took some pictures while in the garage.. not working on the car but watching the man work on his... just wanted to share...


The 65 chevelle...














and now the 54 Lincoln...









And... my fender...
it did have rust and paint all over it and i sand it all down and got dirty to make it look like this...

 

well i read the whole thing great job was going to ask you how you pull the front fenders and steel trims off but if your was already pulled apart would be a bit hard for you to tell me.

i have 2 1954 lincs one 2 door 1 4 door just started work on them but yours looks like it was in a much nicer condition to start with.

Keep going i will be watching to see how yours is going.

 

Thank you. do you have a thread so i can see yours?

 

no not yet as im the process of moving house and into the country so i have more room so i wont have a thread for a while.

 

How much did you guys drop the rear end on the Capri and what did you use?? Also, what tires are those? Size? Thanks, awesome looking rod....Pickin up a Capri tomorrow!

 

You guys still working on this Capri????

 

Hi..is this cool project still in progress??? I have a 54 Capri since three weeks and want to know how you lowerd yours

 

Anything new?

 

Nothing new lately, We just got a 50 olds that we are trying to get done for our wedding in a month. So the Lincoln has been on the back burner but she will get there soon!.. Will post pictures of her when I can.






And I know this picture is not of the Lincoln or the olds but its one our engagement photos and I thought some of you might enjoy it... We took them in the back of a junk yard where all the old rusty cars were...

 

Lincoln, Chevelle, Olds.......... I am jealous! Cool stuff! Congrats on the Hitchin' next month!

 

Like that engagement photo..very cool. Good luck!

 

X2! Looks like a picture from the late '50s. Also looking forward to progress on the old Lincoln.

 

Awesome photo! Love your Lincoln!

 

love the car as well. Gonna be killer.

 

Damn that Olds is nice, what a difference from the condition of the Lincoln. Good luck with all the toys and happy wedding.

 

Bekjoy, I've got one myself, I'll try to get some photos going. Still evaluating her, trying to decide just how I wanna do this beaut, but man, is it ever cool. Have fun with yours, I'll let ya know what my overall plans are for her when I know. Doubt I;ll change much, she's so cool now....

 

Can you tell me how you lowerd the Lincoln???
