Build-It, Drive-It, H.A.M.B.
Mercury Custom "The Lincury"
Drivetrain:
2001 Ford roller H.O. 302 V-8; was a Roush "test" engine. Never installed in a car. 0 miles. Has GT-40P heads-- basically the engine that would have been installed in Explorers before they quit making the 302. Has a 1979 Cougar stock 2BBL intake and carb on it for now to get it running.
Chassis:
Lightly modified stock 1988 Lincoln Town Car. Plans are to air-bag it.
Wheels & Tires:
1979 Cougar Turbine rollers for now. Eventually chrome smoothies on the front, you won't see the rears.
Body:
All rust will be repaired; will have Frenched headlights, rear skirts, and 1954 Merc taillights. Eventual paint will be gloss black. '55 Desoto grill may be an option, as I have one already, but I do like the stock '51 Merc one too, minus the bumper override "holes".
Interior:
'66 Thunderbird wraparound back seat and front buckets. Steering column is out of an S-10. Haven't found a wheel I like yet...
