Wow! Can't wait to see more. I agree, I like the kit wheels best. Don't you wish someone produced photoetch and metal transfer for the continental kits!?

I've always loved the suicide-door Lincolns, and the green '68 you show is identical that a friend's family used to have, but nicer (than theirs).

I intend to take one of my '66 or '67 Lincolns and make a convertible.

Looking forward to seeing more!

Far out, that's some serious plastic removal. This looks like a challenge. Keep up the awesome work.

Looking good Jonathan!

I vote BBS GTs with either white wals, or red line (if you go all gangsta black)
