At age 54, I've finally built a shop with 9,000 lb hoist and all. I've owned and worked on (for fun) over 57 vehicles in my years. My first car was a 55 Ford Former Idaho State Patrol car and as my first hotrod project, I was able to find a nice 55 Fairlane 2 door post sans engine and transmission. I bought a 73 Lincoln Continental 2 door hardtop with a 460 and C6 for $600 bucks (no dents, rips and minor leather wear) that runs great thinking I could use it for the engine and trans in my project 55. I'm wondering if this is going to be too heavy. I plan on converting the front spindles to Granada with disk brakes. The Lincoln (Leon) is in such sweet shape that I almost hate to rip it apart. I'm not kidding, this thing is straight with a capital S! It's 100% complete and looks great. Several car guys have confirmed that it's "too nice" to part out (and who would want the rest of the car?).
Anyway I will sure value any and all input into my project!
Thanks!
