The 7.3L Godzilla swapped Lincoln Continental is BACK! We read all the comments on our supercharged LS3 C10 build, and you guys wanted to know what was happening with our bagged Lincoln build. Well, while we were getting the '72 C10 back on the road, we've been making some progress on this slab, and we're finally ready to show you guys what has been going on behind the scenes!
Last time you saw the Continental, we had just finished mocking up our custom front and rear bumper and finished capping off our marker lights. So to kick this episode off, we're making some slight tweaks to our rear bumpers and then getting the front and the rear final welded. Once all of our welds are blended and smoothed, we can start doing the body work so we can get a fresh coat of paint on these parts.
While we were outside blending some bondo, we got a delivery from UPS. Our wheels from St. Paul Speed and Performance showed up. So of course we have to test fit them up on the Lincoln! As killer as they look, they definitely cut it close to our fenders, but we'll have to get some rubber around these rims before we can make the finally call to decide if they'll need some modification to make them fit.
Once the excitement from getting new wheels dies down, we can focus back on the front end of the Continental. With how cool the bumper looks, we can't just leave the stock grill. So we start off by cutting out some of our original Continental grill to be able to fit in square OBS headlights. When we get the grill and lights mounted up, our customer tells us that he wants something wild and unique for the front end to match the 7.3L Godzilla motor in the engine bay. His vision is to make the front end similar to a 50's Mercury hotrod. So we fabricate some Lincoln-esque diamonds to pop out of a mesh backing and encapsulate the OBS lights.
Overall it's a really unique look, but we're unsure if it really fits the vibe of the Continental. What do you guys think? Should the new grill get the S2S seal of approval? Let us know in the comments section below!
