When you restore an automobile, the way Jacob has done, it spills over into the rest of your life. Precision, accuracy and quality become a mantra.
You are 100% correct, Sir!
Thank you
His dad is always alive any time he looks or drives that beautiful car. Gorgeous restoration.
Very true!
An amazing restoration, thank you Gentlemen!!
Thank you, buddy!
That looks better than new. Absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy it.
He did such a great job!
Amazing. That 81 Lincoln is so well down. The wheels are right for this car. I am glad he got it down. I am sure his dad is looking down and smiling. Well done Jacob,
It's beautiful inside and out!
Wow! My grandparents had an '81 Signature Series with those wheels. I remember they took quite a bit of time to clean, but it was worth the effort. It would be a labor of love to restore one of these. Well done!
It's your only option if you want nice ones these days.
Beautiful example. I have a 1980 Mark VI four door with the 351 (first year only option) and a metallic red 1981 MKVI Signature Series four door. Lovely cars.
They sure are, Mark!
Another beauty! I like the wide whites on the blue two door in the background.
That video should be up tomorrow. Those are the original tires!
I was eyeballing that blue one in the background. I LOVE that color, very unique shade of blue and IMO with the Roadster top/Carriage roof the Mark Vl look much better because the opera window is covered. To my eyes this makes the car look much better. There was also a special model (can’t recall the name) that had I think just the C pillars section of roof covered in vinyl and a band ending where the quarter windows Had coach lamps too and the few I’ve seen were that shade of blue. Might have been Emilio Pucci Ed but can’t recall
@jakereal3604 The video for the blue one will be uploaded tomorrow evening. It is a Pucci. I think the other model you're thinking of is the Two-Tone Bill Blass.
Such a great restoration on what must now be a rare car. I never paid a lot of attention to these years, but my cousin bought a new Mk6 four door and drove the wheels off of it. She was a realtor and put 50k a year on her cars. she always had good thing to say about the Mk6. The trim and vinyl top on that car must be a bear to get done properly without bending or denting trim. Kudos to him for the patience it had to require. It is really nice.
Yeah, he definitely put his heart and soul into it out of the love and memories of his father.
Really amazing, the car could pass for a garage queen, everything down to the last detail, thanks Jacob and Tony
Yes, Sir. He left no stone unturned!
If one day Jacob gets a chance to detail that thing it might clean up and look pretty good...
🤣😂🤣😂
Beautiful Mark. Thanks for sharing this
You're very welcome. Thank you very much for watching and commenting!
Love those Mark VI sedans.....excellent job on the factory wire wheel restoration
Yep, he's very good at it.
Saw that car up close in our driveway here in Ohio it's a beautiful car inside and out nice work Jacob.
Thanks Tony. Great looking Mark VI there. Now I don’t feel so bad about having to chisel out all the old rubber window runners on my 1967 Monterey.
Thank you, Mike! They were glued in on my 78 Grand Marquis, too.
Awesome! Great job!
He left no stone unturned.
You know, even if I could afford a Rolls Royce, even a brand new one, I'd still get one of these Lincoln Mark VI's. I had an 89 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series. I miss it so much, but it kept nickeling and diming me every single week. After 23 mechanical parts replaced it still needed more work. I think it sat too long. It had 29k original miles on it. I'll never forget $50 for an alternator though, and this was back in 2019. That is VERY cheap for an alternator. Maybe someday I'll own another classic Lincoln. I had a dream that seemed very real, as if I was stuck in the early 1970s period. I heard, felt, smelled, and seen everything in that time frame but the location seemed unfamiliar to me. I do know I was driving an early 1970s Lincoln Continental sedan in that dream. This is alien to me because I was born in the late 1990s. That was so cool and hope to have another dream like that again.
I have an 89 Town Car, as do my parents, and we've had little to no trouble out of them. They are pushing 200k miles.
@@tonyscarcare5657 That is good to know. I've talked with a few other people about their late 80s Town Cars, and they all tell me their cars are reliable, and easy to fix in comparison to modern cars. There's one video of one on CZcams with over a million miles
My parents' 85 was pushing 400k before they sold it and still running perfect.
Very nice car and restoration abilities.
For sure. Jacob left no stone unturned.
@@tonyscarcare5657 Can you post a link to Jacob's You Tube channel (regarding the wire wheel restoration) Thank you!

I wanted to make mention on the hidden lights. I often hear people mistakenly refer to the systems as “Pneumatic” this is incorrect as pneumatic mean under air pressure (sometimes hydraulic using a fluid typically oil). To the contrary these work on absence of air or vacuum. When turned on the vacuum from the closed door circuit is released from the system and air rushed into the system as vac bleeds off and that’s the hiss sound we hear. Often people confuse it to air itself being used to operate the system,it’s not. To my knowledge no car ever made uses actually pressurized air. Only vacuum , electric, or manual operated. Think Opel GT, 1930sCord etc.
Beautiful I have an 81 that I'm working on nowhere near as clean
Thank you. Good luck with it.
302 EFI V8, AOD transmission
Yep, that was your only engine and transmission choice by that time.
I spy a Versailles!
There were several there. 👇

Sweet
Yes. It's really something for him to be proud of.
I notice his roof is only half vinyl while mine is fully vinyl all the way to the windshield and down the pillars. I think a full vinly top gives a cleaner look in my opinion
Truly knowledgeable, thank you for sharing.
By Silicone, does Jacob mean WD-40 to be sprayed on the Vacuum Canisters?
& are there any solutions to failing digital instrument-clusters? Surely someone might be able to restore them, thanks!
NO!!!! He means silicone. You can buy 100% silicone spray. Another tech tip I can tell you esp if you live in an area that gets below freezing us to spray all your door seals with silicone n spray. Do this late Fall before the snow comes then 1-2 more during the winter on nice days. This will keep your doors from freezing shut if you have rain and temp goes below freezing Or if snow is on the car and it melts it the day and temp later drops to freezing. Your doors will open no problem!!!
No, not WD-40. An actual silicone spray to be spayed into the headlight vacuum storage tank. Then, when the headlights are turned on, it pulls the silicone throughout the whole system. As far as the electronic instrument panel, I don't know anyone who works on them. I've never had an issue to be repaired.
@@jakereal3604Thank you very much for the tip! Although I face more heat than cold winters. Could you give me a brand name example of a good silicone spray? Searches keep referring me to Silicone Lubricant which is basically what WD-40 is.
@@tonyscarcare5657 Thanks for responding! So to understand the application, I have to open the Storage Tank or spray on it? Thanks.
@@xxtaas777 simply pull the vacuum hose off of the tank and spray it in the tank.
I would like to know all the options in it and see inside the trunk and the dash and glove box and see the headlights on
Come over to my channel will start uploading videos of it more often
chingon
Could you go a little more in depth about spraying silicone through the vacuum lines. I want to try this but certainly don't want to mess anything up.
You simply pull the vacuum lines off and spry silicone in them and put them back on.
From the air cleaner down or from the canister down?
My apologies
I would spray it in both hoses on the headlight vacuum motors and the storage tank. Even into the headlight motors themselves.
A real car guy has parts in they're bedroom, I'm guilty.
🤣😂🤣😂
I’m so glad that you said that. I have 2 nos Lincoln Mark lll grilles in my guest room closet. I thought this was so weird and I was a freak. Glad others do it too lol
@@jakereal3604 I have car parts in every room of the house except the bathroom! 🤣😂🤣😍
GREAT now I feel better. I have about 30 NOS Wheelcovers in my basement, Mark lll and 67/8 Thunderbird spinner wheel covers if I recall 14 69 mark lll, a set of 70 mark lll, and 14 tbird. I’m stocked up on them lolololol
@@tonyscarcare5657 I have an '83 Mark VI in the garage and car parts, toys, and pictures in every room too. I modified my Corvette's original T-tops into my bed's headboard. Thank you for this premium presentation.
