Here is a few pics of the car I am building for my daughter who had her leg amputated. Fundraiser July 17th at Goldstar in Mason, Ohio. Mustang car show from 6-9pm. I hope to have a drive train in so I can bring the car.
It started out as a V6 LX and I found a 88 Lincoln Town Car that old hott rodder had put a 302 HO long block in. Two years later he went to hott rod heaven and I got the whole car for $500. I will add more details later, I just wanted to get some info out now.

Fund raiser n mustang show is on for this saturday at Gold star in mason,,,arbor square Gold star is at the corner of socialville foster n mason montgomery.
story of the 88 lincoln donor car ,, was a craigslist find. add said 88 town car new motor, $600. Had it towed since the brakes were shot,, but it was started and drove up the ramp. It was in the estate of a old time hot rodder. when he wore out the original lincoln motor he ordered a motorsports HO long block, had the AOD trans rebuilt at same time. Said he wanted more power !! Sadly 2000 miles later he went to hott rod heaven. i tried to part out the lincoln, decided to go with a carb instrad of speed density. ended up scrappin the lincoln for $300. pulled it apart n ya could see the hone marks on the cylinders,,she was clean as a whistle.
