I think so and everything I buy in the grocery store went up too.

I want to use automotive paint on a truck I am building so off I went to find a medium blue,the last time I bought a can it was 7.99 but today its 12.99 so I am going to look into a alternative. Some automotive swap meets are coming up so maybe I can find some there but not giving almost 13 dollars for a can and I dont have enough in a can to paint it.

If anyone makes any I would be interested in many sets,i have seen on trucks what looked to be rams horns on a FE and those might be something to make too.

To this day I do not understand why I painted the original body,the black it came in looks good.

I knew of two 56 big trucks sitting in a woods thinking it should have the rams horn manifolds and it did but had the Lincoln engine,there was also a 54 or 55 F450? but it had the normal single exhaust manifolds.

I built it in late 74 and had been in the attic since the 80s,the hood warped in the heat so I found one that was white and was going to try to match the paint and replace the missing spare tire but it was missing more parts. I found one that had never been painted on Ebay and since I messed up the body by painting it I just used the complete body from the parts car and used my chassis and interior. This one will never go back in the attic and my old body is going to be used on a custom project.

Here is what it will look like,it will have 60s,70s and 90s parts.

41 Lincoln Continental.

The bodies were a little rough and can be fixed but I am thinking about trying to get another 60s unbuilt kit for the 4 cylinder project.

The Lincoln manifolds will not bolt on a Ford but they look similar.

Took a chance and got a bunch of Monogram 34 Ford parts off ebay,it looked better in the pictures but was able to get two stock hoods and two stock windshield frames along two frames with bumper brackets after I glue them back on. I was hoping to get more stock interior parts but most were ZZTop versions but I will make do with what I got and continue to look for more parts. After the V12 hotrod I would like to build a 4 cylinder version.

I just been using sbc manifolds for that purpose,I know they are not exact bit close enough for me. I think they only came bigger trucks so I doubt any has been made.

With a stock hood I can use the 60s custom grille.

Just got a bunch of Monogram 34 coupe parts off Ebay so now I will be able to have a stock height roof and hood.

I am suprised that one was never made.

I would like to make it a Zephyer and it looks like the roof from the 36 coupe might be a good start and with the trunk from a 40 coupe.

I wish that one was made instead of the Continental.

I really like the Monograms molded in solid colors,the metallics are not so good and need to be painted.

I really wanted to keep the original body but I messed it up 40 years ago. Since its the same era body its not so bad.

Found a 40 standard coupe body for a donor.

Its got a new body,found one not painted and no excess glue so it went on my repainted chassis and got the originals interior. I got it for the lower chrome pieces that mine was missing but this body was too nice to cut up for a custom so I will make the custom out of the rough original body.

After looking at the body a little more closely I am now going to use the body from the parts car,my rough body will be used for the custom I want to build. The original body is just way too rough so it will be perfect to cut up,many repaints have done much damage.

I will have to look at a 42 to 48.

When the rear of body is smoothed out it will lower the body where the rear of top under the window attaches so the top will have to be modified.

This will most likely be next winters project since I have plenty to do this winter,I am going to gather the parts to do it now. I have the top from the 50 Ford convertible somewhere and would like to see how it fits.
