1989 Lincoln MkVII LSC

[Chuck Most]

Now that this one has finally been reissued, seemed like a perfect time to tear into an original 1990 kit. 

I did use some decals from the reissue, along with a supercharged DOHC Mod V8 from Jay's Resin Wheels 1948 on eBay, and grafted in a radiator and core support from a 1990 Mustang, along with a parts box electric fan. It also has an Iceman Collections air filter.

I wanted something subdued for the paint so I went with Testors Bronze. Needs a little foil touchup around the taillights and on the bumpers but overall I'm happy with how this "slam it together and get it over with" project turned out.

Very unique Hot Rod to be sure. Nice job.

Like the Pro-Street vibe and the settle color even with the heavy metallic finish. 

[Perspect Scale Modelworks]

Very cool. Can these be built stock?

[karbuildr]

Very well done build. I like the subtle color you chose, but that engine is killer.

[Yeah Nah]

Wow! One mean looking Lincoln! 

[Dragonhawk1066]

Very nice! I just won the new release of this kit, in a raffle at last week's show in Va.

Absolutely not. ? It's basically the Matt Hay Pro street Thunderbird with a shortened Lincoln body.

[Koellefornia Kid]

Very nice, very mean, very cool!

[Mattilacken]

'Great looking build! Stance is just right and with that color it looks like a sleeper!

[dragstk]

Very cool build, Chuck. I really like the engine you put in there. Nice job!

Nice looking Lincoln Chuck. I have one of these in the stash, still haven’t decided exactly what to do with it, but got a few ideas here. Thanks for sharing sir.

[Deathgoblin]

[Zippi]

That's one Bad looking Lincoln Pro Street.

Outstanding Lincoln!

[ea0863]

Love it, especially that engine!

[LennyB]

Lov it, looks fantastic and the engine looks right at home. Too bad it;s gonna get dirtly if you're driving in the rain..

 

Seriously, always a favorite of mine. Almost bought a real one once. Have a number of the original kits as well as a stock resin body, have yet to build one. Now maybe I should.

[ChrisR]

Very nice!

I had a 1:1 1989 Mk VII, but the paint was Shadow Blue, and the motor was nothing like the gorgeous supercharged DOHC Mod V8 you stuffed in there. However, the stance was similar after the airbag suspension failed... a couple of times! Nice job!
