Projects Diamond in the rough... 1954 Lincoln Capri

Ahhh... There is only one degree of seperation in Delaware..hahaha everyone knows each other! Get that thing running..I wana take pictures!! ha

Spike

 

Will do! glad you found me!

 

If HAMBers would use their god-given names it would be a lot simpler for this old fart.

 

My name is Bekah, my boyfriends name is Corry, and Spike is just Spike.

 

thats a nice looking dash i dig the blue color , should be a fun car when its rolling

 

A bit of inspiration......

 

Thats nice thats pretty much what were gonna do to her but keep the door handles. thats a clean car. Love the color.

 

I try

 

you can see this on U-TUB a short cilp...........i had a 53 capri 2 dr. gave it away....bad thinking but that was in 1968, kids got it killed it stoned it.

 

Hi there, I have a 1954 lincoln Capri. I have a lot of the Crome that came off mine as it is shaved. If you need anything let me know and Ill see what I have. Thats going to be a nice ride!!

 

Really neat car, love them old lincolns! Good luck and keep us updated.

 

Thank you very much i appreciate that!

 

We have a 54 Cosmopolitan in the shop right now..Found in a garage sitting for 27 years..Took us 2 days to get her running..I has the neatest stuff on it I've ever seen..

 

Thanks for starting this thread on your lincoln build! I never really looked at one close. Im lovin the C piller chrome treatment with the triple bullets. And those skirts are freakin awesome!! Looks like you already lowered it from the original pics. I might of missed that in your thread, but how did you lower it? Dropped suspension, cut coils and blocks, bags or ??
Keep up the good work! Nothin like having your OWN project huh?! way cool

 

right now there are blocks in the rear.. and the front springs have been taken out and replaced with all thread to figure out where we want the height. its gonna have air ride eventually... but the pictures you see lowered will be ride height when finished.

 

Very cool... I'd shave the trim off the trunk.

We travel out to Rehoboth every other year my wife's aunt has a beach house there.

 

If you can, Post pics on how you do the air ride. I would like to do that as well but I have a feeling you will be ahead of me with that. So any info would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

 

Sure once we get to that part i will update you on what goes down

 

bekjoy you have a great project and no doubt a diamond in the rough but not real rough. Keel posting your updated pictures because many Lincoln lovers are on the hamb.

 

Not much to say but the car is pretty much bare metal now...

Stripping the paint..


My pride and joy



For the record I in no way can take credit for all the work that has been done to this car. This man has helped me 110% and has taught me so much I could never repay him... Thank you Corry Hunter

 

That's another great photo; the one with Cory and the 32. ....and don't give me the same "oh, it's just a phone pic"...

 

No that was taken by my camera in Ocean City. You got me this time... Thank you.

 

Check out my baby all on the ground and bare metal outside...

 

keep on building , that car is going to be sharp ,

 

My dad bought one exactly like yours new. He was driving too fast on a old county road and rolled it over a few times after going over one of those one lane up & down small bridges. He never kept a car more than 6 months back them.
I really like what your doing to your car - and I like seeing you working on it too. It will mean so much more to you when it's done. The look on guys faces when you tell them you did the work yourself will be real fun for you. Good luck and keep posting.

 

Thank you ! I cant wait till its done..

 

Thats one sick looking Lincoln!!!!!!!!!!! can't wait to see the end results.

 

Thank you I agree!!!

 

Love it, one of my favorites!!!

 

your lincoln look great! love it.
