I have always loved those big Lincolns. Over the years I have had 2 4 door sedans, 1966, 4 2 door coupes 1966, 2 1966 Lehman Peterson Executive limos a 65 4 door sedan, a 65 Lehman Peterson Executive limo and 2 1969 4 door sedans. Glad to see someone restoring another of these beasts. There are 2 Lincoln parts guys out there, One on Florida and one in Mass, if I remember correctly. Bot have excellent parts selections and are very familiar with all the little quirks and fixes for these beasts. Can't wait for the next episode.
Great job getting that dash out, I could feel the struggle though my screen. The 3D scan of the dash was a nice touch, I never would have thought of that. Can't wait for the next episode!
I would have been 10 years old when she rolled off the line in Wixom Michigan. "I decided when we started this project that we wouldn't be keeping any of the factory wiring". I'm impressed with your confidence in bring her back. She's hard and smart. Why oh why did you take this on?
man this is awesome! im tempted to buy a 66 in my area with a similar starting point. interested to see what you do with all the corrosion. cant wait for p3!
When will the next episodes be coming out on the Lincoln? I have a 69 Lincoln 4 door also looking forward to the complete restoration process. Great job so far.
I have been dreading taking the dashboard out but I have to get back there to replace some vacuum hoses. Which engine does your car have and are you rebuilding it or replacing it? Please show as much as you can. I have decided to restore my car on my own after having a few horrible mechanics. I am not a mechanic until now. This car is very unique. I have a 1963 Lincoln Continental. You can see it on my channel if you want.
If any of you guys have cars that run I would like to know what type of gas you use? I use 93. I also have a 430 cu engine and I am unsure about how and where a few of the hoses run. My car is on the old vacuum system and I am still learning about it. I replace the hoses in the engine bay and I still have to replace the ones under the dash. They say if they are not replaced the engine will not run right. My engine was rebuilt. So was the transmission. I drive my car and after about 6 miles or so it starts to run hard. It may be the vacuum lines, but I also have a few hose attachments I have no clue about. Also, I just noticed a leaking fuel tank when it was full. Do you know of a replacement tank that may be compatible? Also, I have had my car for 15 years and I just got it running somewhat ok. It's a long story.
Ok, so I’m swapping my engine for an om606 (straight 6 Mercedes diesel that’s getting a big turbo) but I’m more than familiar with old carbed v8’s. So my approach has always been, scrap the ticker pump on the block, get a Holley red, a new Holley carb, cap every vacuum line except the brakes and distributor, get a fuel pressure gauge and regulator that you can adjust and if you’re feeling fancy an aem wideband afr gauge to see where your jetting is (too rich or too lean).
I run an electric pump now. I had a Holley pump and carb. The pump I destroyed by accident when cleaning my tank. The Holley carb I still have but it kept flooding at the time so I swapped it for an Edelbrock. No issues so far. I may go back to the Holley pump. I liked it. I had not heard of this aem wideband afr gauge. I will check it out. Do you prefer 93% fuel or nonethanol? By the way the engine is running better now that I corrected some of the hoses. A former mechanic set some things up wrong. I will replace my tank this week. It had a leak.@@shed_mfg
@@superdave1837 sounds like you had more of a jetting or overpressure issue than a carb issue. There’s a guy on TH-cam thunderhead289 that’s really into the science of making carbs run well with modern unleaded fuels that have a much lower boiling point
@@shed_mfg i look forward to watching your progress. I took a lot of video of working on my 69 but havent had the time to edit it together. My roof had a vinyl top and was rusted very bad. I did rust converter and por15 on that then rondo to smooth it out. Also redid my dash the same. check out @SprayWayCustoms he has lots of videos of dash restores
❤ awesome job!!

Thanks, that means a lot. I’ll try to make more progress soon!
Excellent vid; my hat is off to you. I'm a fan!!!
Love the video man. I'm doing a much smaller restoration on my 1969. Would love to see the next update!

Someone has to bring these things back to life, might as well be me.

I might end up fabricating a whole dash. But I’ll burn that bridge when I get to it 🤣
I am thinking the same thing and welcome to the club.

Probably the next week or two. We are getting the last footage together.
Working on my 69 atm such beautifully frustrating cars.
For me I think I’m cutting rusted floors out and fabricating new panels. Stay tuned!

Are there going to be more videos of this car?
Yes! I’ve been stockpiling parts and working on it pretty diligently recently, engine is acquired and suspension is in the works.
Great video, I'm currently redoing my 69 continental. Any new updates?
I have picked up wheels and have parts on order! As soon as they come in I’ll be filming more on the project!

What was the 3d app you used?
Polycam. It was super detailed
I would 've taken all those relays and wiring from the engine compartment.....😢
Do you want them? I might still have some
Hi. What was the 3d app?
Polycam, but I only got the free version. I believe the paid version can export and has measurable dimensions. I’ll probably upgrade to it soon
@@shed_mfg Ty! Free is good!!
Are you going to post more on the lincoln
We are just finishing up the next video for it actually! And filming for the one after that, I promise I haven’t forgotten about it
@shed_mfg That's awesome! I've been waiting 🤣 I'm starting a project with my dad on a coupe. Were you able to get the fenders off?
@@melissaarno41 nah, they’re welded on and don’t have any rust on them so I’m going to leave them on and do the bodywork with them where they are
@@melissaarno41 what year is your coupe?
@@shed_mfg 1966
