    Street Machine Nationals - July 18-20 - St. Paul, Minnesota

    Sounds peaceful. I was wondering if you might have a grandkid that just *has* to see the Mall of America.. Safe travels! I hope it's an uneventful journey.

    Street Machine Nationals - July 18-20 - St. Paul, Minnesota

    Yeah!!! It'll be great to see you. Bonfire at our place after the show on Friday. That should give driller enough time to scope out the hotel patio to see if it's worth occupying Saturday night. :D How many of the Driller clan are making the trip?

    Dual exhaust upgrade

    Super Coupe Performance does have a kit, but it's listed as "backordered" at present, so custom is probably the name of the game.

    Lincoln Homecoming 2025

    I feel like we've been on the grounds on Friday in the past also, but they've never really cared about the passes. Honestly the whole thing is strange to me because "of course we're going to be there." so why charge extra (or separately) for museum admission. Still, it is a very good museum.

    Lincoln Homecoming 2025

    Welp. I just got us registered. Gilmore passes for 2 days, and Saturday dinner. No cruises or extras. No $10k contribution to the endowment. (this year, anyway..) It says "buffet dinner" rather than "pig roast." Let's hope that's the case.

    Modern double din radio

    I'd wait for a "gen 1" pro to chime in, but based on what I've seen, I wouldn't guarantee it. The overall shape is very similar to the factory deck, so "maybe." It's all about how thick the face is. What I can say is that the mounting kit is likely unnecessary, unless you're just jamming it...

    First year of Mark 8

    The earlier years had more adventurous color palettes. Blue Leather anyone? I'd say it's worth a look. With the Marks, only the 1996 comes to mind as one you want to be ready for. it has some 1-year-only parts as they transitioned to OBDII

    Coil Conversion KIT in 2025

    I think Beerdog needs to come back and proofread his post. :D Mike's Super Coupe Performance link is the sure thing.. They've been a reliable source for years. I agree that international shipping could get tricky. Plenty of us have done Arnott parts. I bet you could search this forum and...

    Manuals available?

    I'm certain no offense was taken. I got chuckle out of your "23 years old, doesn't work and everyone is probably dead" comment. You ended up here exactly because much of that is true. :D It's a good group here. many date back to the old days.

    Modern double din radio

    I've done a couple double-din installations on 1997 Marks now, and both were possible, but required some creativity for fit. Basically, there was some plastic structure that needed to be cut out behind the dash to accommodate the "body" of the stereo, but the opening for the faceplace was...

    Lincoln Markaro

    Welcome! I'm so pleased to see this car in good hands. I came very close to bidding on it myself when I saw it come up for auction, but lacked the spousal stamp of approval. Enjoy the car, and do stick around! we're thrilled to have you here.

    New guy from NY

    A great introduction for a great car. Welcome! You've done some of the big jobs already. Many of us came to these cars after having a Panther first. Many more still have both. You no doubt will be very pleased with this now that you've gotten everything "refreshed."
