Hey.
Got a chance to buy a 59 Lincoln Capri. Clear title...motor n tranny but not running(probably sell it)...dirty inside and upholstery is bad but good seat covers can cure it...100% natural patina's.
plans are...big block motor n tranny...clean up n redoubt inside...new tires n rims...slam it and drive her.
good start ya think? Can get it for about 900-1000 bucks.:D. Hg

Like the rear end view, but those Dagmar-ish front corners of the front bumper would have to go, they stick out like a sore thumb, make something that just continued smoothly around the front corners. Paint bumpers to match car color, and make it a dark color(Hunter Green, Polo Green) with dark windows, blacked out grill. Silver or pale frost metallic green on rear panel and behind rear tires/lower panel. Dark Green roof, door handles and much of the trim also.

Could also kind of resemble the Batmobile if you wanted to do it that way.

Engine and trans mount/trans crossmember will have to be custom made if you do a more modern 429/460 BBF swap, you are not going to find any bolt-in kits.

Nice 17-18" Torq-Thrust II's and slammed :thumbup: Inspiration - http://i61.tinypic.com/2qkjshx.jpg
