1965 Lincoln Continental

[mrmike]

My newest project, the '65 Lincoln Continental. The project will be painted with Dupli-Color Stellar Blue Pearl with a Semi Gloss Black or a grey interior and whitewall tires. I need something remotely familiar after the mess I create with my Ford GT.

I was a kid in 1965 when my rich friend's parents bought a new 1965 Lincoln hardtop.  The first car I had ever ridden in with a/c.

Convertible or Wagon body style?

These are old simple kits that build up nicely. Good Luck with it!!!

I built the wagon version as a kid.

Nice looking new project on the bench Mike.

Thanks everyone!  After the foul-up on my Ford GT body, I wanted something kind of different, but familiar.  I've had this kit for about 15 years and it seems simple enough, so it is on the bench.

Sorry David.  I didn't mean to forget you.  Convertible!  Box stock with a wired engine!

I assembled the wheels and tires after I painted the wheel backs. Then I added the core support and the firewall to the body. Now it is ready for a bath and some paint.

A simple yet attractive kit when a little care is added. Watching 🍿
