This is interesting, thanks for posting.
So much care and love goes into every part! I'm sending you all the business I can every time I talk to people about cars!
Thanks!
Can't wait to see footage of this thing on batteries- it's already fantastic and you haven't even started converting it yet! Incredible work.
Vlad_343 thanks. We are excited about this one. It is just plain cool...
keep the videos comin brother.. lookin good!
Thanks for the update Mitch! I think you should put me on. I should send you some pics of a '65 stang I completely restored/welded the hull in Boerne.
What stage chopping block kit did you use?
I am about to start on my 64 sedan and I want it to lay frame, this one looks like it will still have a few inch's clearance. Can you make the chopping block kit lay frame? Thanks so much.
What did the new rear end come out of? What will swap in easily so I can get rid of that Dana 53?
What rear end did you use for the car? I have a 61 that I’m wanting to put one in. Also what front disc brake setup did you use? Jamco makes a lot. Are they any good or junk?
How much did it cost overall?
what's air you have ?
Yikes! I missed part 1!
I called lincoln land and asked about that set up for my 64. They did I would need a 65-69 booster as well and they are very hard to find. There is a company in Texas that offers a kit for front and back with new booster and master cylinder. I just don't want to run into a problem. I'm wondering if it's the same company you tried to use?
Strange. We didn't use a 65-69 booster and it is working great. The company is Classic Disk Brakes.
mitchmedford did you upgrade or modify the master cylinder?
Nope, just flush and clean. However, we will be replacing the booster/master cylinder setup when the electric conversion is done because we will use an electric brake setup. What I can tell you for sure is that the car's brakes just fine with the old setup and the disk brakes from the 65-69 setup. We were a little concerned about proportioning, but everything is working great right now.
Angel, with aftermarket brakes for the LCs it requires a minimum of 17-inch wheel. On a 64 I'm getting ready to pickup I'm upgrading to 65 front disc brakes. That way I can roll the 15s and white walls when I want. On my 67 I kept the org brakes so I can also roll 15s when I want to. CPP or Baer both makes aftermarket setups for these cars.
Check with Tim Nill at Lincoln-Ranch dot com. He prob has a booster. I sent my 67 booster to Booster Dewey (Google him) and will rebuild it. The 67 boosters are awesome. CPP recommends simply reusing it.
why no electric forklift? :)
Because I got a great deal on an old propane model :-)
j lo????
Nice Nazimobile.
