    5726033D-54F3-4B1B-8ECA-574E3D509494.jpeg I want to do something with the headlights on my 50 Lincoln. Options: add removable covers (something like a baby moon hubcap). Blank off the headlight buckets altogether. Add another set of stock headlights to make quads. I think the best is to weld on buckets from a 55 Lincoln.

    I thought that would be awful -- but it ain't!

    if you like either one of those, have you considered just chroming the ‘A’ grille surround....

    Thanks! I’ll go with the single 55 Lincoln lights. I shouldn’t have posted that white one. It had those silly visors. Here’s my stocker. I would love to see it with Aztec Gold on top and a blue-green below the belt line EF9DBF6B-BD23-4987-9200-04A66C936D5F.jpeg

    I always thought those Lincolns were pretty homely in the front. Especially the odd headlights. Quite a bit different than the Merc. However, the quad headlights is a surprising upgrade. I like it.

    You got the key or is it a hot wire job. Your going to need to remove the line securing it to the concrete once its running.

  9. Looks sweet just as it is.
    Just needs old school gray 14 inch Torque thrusts and black walls
    on front and 15 inch Torque thrusts black wall slicks on the rear!
    The height is perfect by the way!

    Quick hack job, how about a Corvair roof? Like a little Starliner, kinda. Looks good, as long as I don't have to do the metalwork. If someone could make the paint on the roof match, that'd be neat.

    Thanx for lowering it, too. (But it could be a titch higher in the rear.)

    Here's the color change to the top. Someone else can lift the rear.

    please remove the bumper gaurds on the Lincoln. Please make it gold above the chrome middle of the body. Please use the quad headlights. Please put bullets in the grill like this. A76441C8-DBC8-4706-8CA4-3C61362DD2CE.jpeg 384593ED-612E-4DE0-A437-FC785B2EA871.jpeg

    I took a shot at it, but am not sure about the color accuracy. I have two screens and neither one is calibrated quite right.

    Cool! I like the gold. The green, I want more like this, with the paint ending with the chrome. Can you fill in the license plate hole in the bumper? The grill is pretty much like the real thing. Maybe remove the door handles and add skirts/side pipes. Thanks! 5A0CE73D-7CE3-4F98-878A-D9FE18594A20.jpeg

    can you guys take this excellent profile of a 27 roadster on deuce rails and make a few changes for me?

    first, it's so dark, can we lighten up the contrast so more details show?

    change the wheel/tire combo to gloss black 40 spoke kelseys with veda spec winged caps and 7.50 rear and 6.00 front firestone deluxe champions.

    pull the flathead for a dodge red ram hemi with chrome valve covers, red wire covers and a weiand 4x2 with chrome carb scoops facing rearward on 97's.

    1953-buick-super.jpg I have both of these grills and would like to see what they would look like installed on my Buick ( top picture). Keeping the stock upper mustache, feel free to shorten the mustache to fit the markers. On the Royal Lancer grill I am not wanting the center filler.

  27. Hey @silent rick ...Just a bit of info. The first hot rod I ever built when I was a young wip was a 39 Chevy with a 241 Dodge hemi with a Weiand 2 duce manifold. It was bored to 272 ci balanced and had a Crower cam. It went like hell all things being equal back in the day. Here's a couple of pics.
