Not finished under the hood yet but I had to take advantage of the light while I had it. This '61 was built from a '63 Mike Brideau gave me.

It was a custom build so there were no stock bumpers, grills etc. so I got a set of '61 chrome from Modelhaus and a '61 dash as I like the unique front end on them. Only thing I had to modify on the '63 body was the trunk lid, just had to sand it down to the proper contours at the back.

Paint's HOK "Kandy Brandywine"with a couple drops of candy blue added over thier "Galaxy Grey" pearl. Interiour's a dark metallic red auto laquer I've had kicking around for a couple years with a coat of Testors dullcoat.

Thanks guys,, but I think I may have confused you a bit. I have been working on two Lincolns at the same time,, this one and the "Project Resurrection" full custom.

So go pick up a fresh bottle of you'r favorite "hard refreshment" Dave 'cause I have at least 2 more Lincolns I hope to finish before I see you guys at NNL East in March. :twisted:
