Thread: One Way To Build A Hot Rod Lincoln

OK Ken - I'm here to watch this new endeavor (SS rails?? - wow)

I kinda like the brushed look. And have been waiting for your V12 Ardun after you discussed it a year or two ago

Ron- I thought the 12 cylinder engines were based on the V8 configuration. I think it was J. Robinson was talking to a friend of his and he said they are based on the V8 60 configuration. When I bought mine sure enough it is. This is a long story but if I don't explain this it won't make sense how I have gotten to the point I'm at. Don Ferguson is the guy reproducing the Ardun heads now. He has helped me with this so far. When I told him what I wanted to do he said he had a friend in Oregon that had a set of Ardun style heads for a V8 60. Apparently they are pretty common in South America in cabs. I don't know who made them, but if you search on U Tube there are some there. Anyway the guy sends me his heads and valve train so I can make drawings of what I need. That's how all of this has happened up to this point. Now I am working on either machining them out of billet in two pieces and welding them together or having castings made. If I have castings made I can only make a few sets for myself because Don will let me use the Ardun name on the valve cover if it is just for me.

Rickomatic- It is going to take some time to do this project. One of the most challenging parts, believe it or not, is the front fenders.

Don- What thread is his under?

IC2- I'm not sure witch way I'm going. I think after I start it will show me the better look.

Ken, I thought you had seen it already. Here is a link to it:

From knowing both of you, the two of you would like each other. You are both Madmen when it comes to detailing and not settling for any compromise. Get a cup of coffee and enjoy Steve's thread, it is really a fun read and gives a glimpse into how guys like you and he do things.

Cool I've been waiting for this one since you showed me that model in person!

They were made by Simca for the Emisul model in the late '60s.
