Hey, yeah it has been a while. Shortly after the last time I was on here i had a good friend die in a motorcycle accident while at a big Mad Max event in Australia . He was dressed as one of the guys from the first Mad Max and driving the a replica of the motorcycle that the character drove. He...

Howdy, So, there is a long, sad and horrible story behind this but I wont bore ya with all that. The end of the story ends with a shop that I may sue and a Linc that now needs repair. I however made a deal with a new friend to trade cars. I don't want to hand over a Linc missing parts. THe...

I actually thought about doing the int all in blue and white. That way it would fit in wih my Stormtrooper costume and i could use the car in parades and when we go places to raise money for the childrens hosptal and the Make A Wish foundation. I have a nice classy 501st costume club rear windw...

Well, my front seats on my '83 Cont. Mark are not all that bad but i am going to be showing it along side my moms mint 75 coupe Lipstick. So, i cant go out like that!!! Lol! i am looking for front white seats in nice condition that are not priced like thay came out of a Roles Royce. If you...

Okay, after messin with it a bunch on my own and in this bitter cold i just cant do it becuase of my hip and lack of a leg. The cold and some of tue positions i had to get in to locate some of the lines is just too much right now. I think since i do have a trick to keep it running normal or...

Any particular line you would recomend as a starting place? You know, that may explain my ac problem. It works intermitenly. It will blow cold for about a 3 count and then blow from the outside air for about a 10 count and does that over and over. As i am driving with the ac on it causes the...

Yeah, i know! I will try to get a few pictures up tomorrow. This car is in amazing condition. Makes mine look like an old hunk of junk.

Last month my Mom joined the wonderful world of Lincoln ownership! She has been wanting a classic car for a while. After my Grandma passed away at the end of winter last year she had the oportunity to be able to afford a classic car. She looked at a lot of stuff but kept telling me that she...

Okay, here is a new twist to this whole thing. If i put the heat from vent to defrost or dash, basically in the AC zone the idle kicks down and runs fine however, the heat tjen runs intermitently. The ac compresor kicks on but it comes on and everything works for a second then it makes a click...

I dont think its the cable because like today when it is warm out everything works perfect. Y'll have given me some ideas. There is a part that i cant remember the name of it but, it is part of the throttle. It has a spring in it and is what kicks down the idle. Think i am going to remove it...

Hello y 'all, Its been a while. We bought a house and have been doing a lot of work on it. Things are pretty good now. Still have some projects but, thee will always be projects with a home that is 113 years old. Good to own a home again though! Okay so, my 1983 Cont. is having a winter issue...

I hear ya. I mean, like the top it is not all dried out and cracking. It still feels nice and not a dry skin feel or anything like that. The seats, well, they look great for their age and I am sure a lot of that is due to it being in a garage since the day it was made and the other owner was...

So, with all this heat lately and that my car has never been out in the elements I am having some real problems that I have not foreseen. So, I didn't know that white leather can sunburn. Still don't know that but, that is the case. The back of my back seat is BURNT. There is nothing else it can...

Leather Lincoln upholstery would really give this a nice finished look with Lincoln style! Also, a back lit Lincoln symbol badge would be really cool too!! Very nice though! Cool idea!

I'll have to check it out and see what they have. Would like to keep things as original as possible however old parts to have a tendency of being or going bad.
