came home from work today and about three houses from me I see a late 80s Lincoln with the hood up and a guy frantically pouring water into the radiator. Laying in the back of my IHC is a gallon of antifreeze. I pull it out and take it over to the guy. Turns out he is a professional welder. He's coming over in a bit to give me a hand with any welding that has to be done on the IHC. Who says being nice doesn't pay.

[ratchet041]

i want to see more please i am liking this build

 

[the reverend muddy grimes]

simple things dont this week. motor sits level and the mounts are welded in place. took the bumper off for a cleaner roll pan, and sanced the roll pan. one of the simpler body mods for the weekend will be the tail lights installed in the roll pan. here are a few pics.

 

[the reverend muddy grimes]

bunch of little stuff done today. curious about which emblem to use. one of my friends like the stock 50's block lettering, and one likes the 60's script style. i have no opinion, but am curious wht all you guys think

 

[ratrodney]

Im using script but both really look kool to me. RR

 

[ratchet041]

script

use the script

 

[the reverend muddy grimes]

kinda leaning that way, and maybe using the block lettering on the running boards

 

[Gastrick]

Good progress and I personally like the script also.

 

[the reverend muddy grimes]

GENTLEMEN, SHE IS A RUNNER!!!!! and we got the new rear end in tonight.

 

[Willowbilly3]

So how's the clearance on the steering column? Is the engine centered in the frame or did you have to offset it a little?
