    Howdy! Longtime listener, first time caller. I'm finishing up a 49 Lincoln. My favorite cars are traditional customs. I found this one last year in Moundhouse, NV. It already had some bodywork done. Nosed, decked shaved, frenched 59 caddy taillights. I hand sanded and re-primed last year, then rewired the whole thing. A350/th400 had already been installed. Also has a rear from a lincoln versailles out back. Currently installing 4 wheel wilwood discs,(don't worry they'll be hidden by chrome steelies and wide whites) The og lincoln discs in the rear wouldn't clear the frame, and when I went to NAPA for the hardware kit I found they had been discontinued. Wilwoods were good and low profile and Precision Brakes Co. in OR is making some fit the stock spindles up front, while re-drilling the stock hubs, so I'll have matching BCD's front and rear. The wife and I were going to "break her in" proper on our anniversary last year when the stock drums up front took a dump. So we still haven't checked out the back seat like we should. Hope to meet some new friends here. Thanks for having me!
