I've ordered a 3mm piece of fiberoptic cable and a light driver to see if I can't make them light up when the doors open. Hopefully, my back...

Gumby replied to the thread 66 Lincoln Continental build thread.Pressed out the fixed bushings and sandblasted some of the parts today. A serious Suicide Slab custom shop in CA offered free parts on the faceballs slab group that he was cutting out of a 66. He was kind enough to cut the spring pack to send me...

Gumby replied to the thread 66 Lincoln Continental build thread.Got the axle out, stripped, wire wheeled, and painted with POR-15. Bearings and gaskets ordered. 9-3/8 ring gear. Weird thing ford did to upgrade the 9" in the 60s behind the 462. A 9 inch fits in the same housing and axles. I might downgrade to...

Gumby replied to the thread 66 Lincoln Continental build thread.Some progress. Polished some more stainless. I'm starting to get the hang of it. Finished welding everything above the rockers.

Gumby replied to the thread 66 Lincoln Continental build thread.Been on Spring break all week so I felt like I made some progress.
