    Well, here she is, my 57 Lincoln

    Its been in hibernation since '63 (it still has the plates on it) in a barn in Montana minus an engine. It is complete and totally rust free!!!!! other than losing the antennae Its going to keep all its 50's funk with all the impact focused on the paint and al***ude. Im interested in everyone's ideas.

    The work has begun and I'm well on my way...

    BTW...H[​IMG]as anyone ever cast a steering wheel?

    That's a damned fine looking car...seems like someone just bought a '57 Lincoln project off of ebay recently, but I think it was in pieces...glad to see some of those Lincoln's making their way back to the road...gorgeous cars...

    Great Car! The only thing I would do is a simple emblem removal and shave, and of course lower it. Those are beautiful cars. What color do you have planned for it? The interior looks to be in good shape.

    You got it right!!!! Im going to drop it, and as far color goes the recipe calls for deep garnet with apple red pearl and a cream roof, gloss black engine bay, copper motor dressed with a little chrome and a custom black & white interior with 57 Chevy metal piping on the seats. Oh ya...and lets not forget creamy wide white bias-plys. Howz dat sound?

    Heres one for you guys... does anyone remember those tri-bar spinners from moon that you attached to a steel wheel or a 'cap? Im looking for a set and moon no longer carries them, and now I weep
