Thread: One Way To Build A Hot Rod Lincoln

Tweet

Jeez Ken, i been waiting to see this build. What happened to that bench with all the holes? That is just about the trickest chunk of steel i ever saw.
The 60deg configuation will help to get those fat covers inside hood, i still don't think that'll happen. Have you modeled it that far yet?
Hell'uva project. oj

Bob - Do you know this guy? He said his name is Guido

ojh - That table is still here, I use it all the time. It makes laying out so much easier. It's actually 4" aluminum. The truck won't have side panels, the frame is pinched to far. I'm still planning on doing the heads.

Ken doesn't have the car painted yet, so that won't help.

Yikes Ken!

Ken that axle looks real nice, Been thinking about using one myself, Whats your opinion on it ???

Steve - It is really nice. An old retired machinist does all the machining on them. If you want to see anything, or a different view I will be happy to take a photo for you.


I have a couple more days on the sanding on the other frame rail and I will be done for a while. I just wanted to do something else for a while so I started mocking things up to see if everything was in the proper place. Everything looks good so far. I picked up the spindles, steering arms, spring perches, spring, and shackles and tie rod and put it together.
I bought a kit to put a C4 tranmission on a V8 60 block. I picked up a 1974 Maverick transmission from the local yard and disasembled it and cleaned it up a little so I can mock up the motor and tranny in the fixture. Slow but sure!!

It's going to be a shame to put a body over such a beautiful chassis. Love the shape of the frame.

Don

Wow its looking very good Ken

I see the elusive stainless axle is in place Ken...Very nice..lucky man..That is a beautiful piece of work you have there..It will be a shame to cover it..

Man It going to be an awesome project. Is it a customers or yours? Having welded and polished stainless, and know how much work is in that stuff. My HATS off to you, going to be a show stopper for sure. Just like Roadsters32 project he is working on.

Don - Thanks, I'm like you in that way, this is the part I really enjoy. Mocking everything up and getting new material. I can't wait to see this thing with the rear end, wishbones and ladder bars and all the inner frame and cross members in place polished.

Steve - Thanks, yours is coming along nicely also. If you only had some gaskets


lamin8r - A really nice friend of mine told me to look in my own back yard Thanks

PRO53 - Thanks, no this is for me.

Don Three rods in as many years. Your getting like Ken and Steve. Multiple projects with more on the way! Yet all three of you get your projects completed! Very admirable. P.S. just sitting here at the computer, enjoying the Cuckoo with chime and music!

Yeah i could finish the valve covers if i had some gaskets Ken
