Here are a few pics of the car. It was finally finished on Thursday....

I noticed this morning I didnt get any of the interior. I know Paulowian did and hope he can post a few of his.

Keith,

Your LS is looking sweet! The clear side marker lenses blend in great with the chrome strip! Send me those pictures to my email address and I'll post those in my customer car gallery.

The LS looks SICK. Very nice.

I have 10 good shots of your car; also, some of the rock crawl, some of the other Lincolns from the group (not all); a couple of my car, and that's about it. I didn't shoot much and I didn't even bring the camera on Sunday. I'll put them up later. Did everyone get home safely? We watched the presentations and then we left right after the drawing - not too much traffic going south. We were home by 4:15 PM. All in all, we had a good time meeting everyone and seeing your cars. Thanks to Joey for the T-Shirts. Now that I know the ropes, next year will be better. My wife and I talked about how we will try to have some food and drink along with a nice setup where everyone can sit together and get to know each other. We were kinda spread out this time and it would be better to have everything all together. Food, next time, is a must. I believe we did pretty good, though - we had winners in the group and that's a good thing. Joey, or whoever can, how about a separate thread showing and telling about the winning cars? Anyway, thanks to everyone who attended and helped out and we hope to see you again, soon.

just some suggestions for new pics- interior oviously you know that, but some pics with the doors closed and the hoold closed some with the doors up hood closed and all that. And some more detailed pics of the system. The car looks great though.

yoo.. get some better pics of the trunk up.. somethin with more light to see the motion of the trunk.. looks good.. i prolly woulda done the trunk in red to match the car though.. looks sick.. love the lincoln emblem in the middle..

That car is absolutally AMAZING. We have 3 red LS's on here that seem to always be at shows. You guys should goto one and park them all in line and get pictures. That would be too cool.

I really appreciate the kind words. The car changed from a stock LS to what it is now in a 6 week span. When I look back on it now I think how incredible that really is. I will get some more pics of the inside including the suede in the next few days.

I have another show on Sunday.

This is the first place winner. Basically its lowered and has wheels. Big deal. Dont get me wrong, they did a great job on this car, but you have done far more to yours.

looks like it has all new chrome moldings with a chrome billet grill.. custom interior? did i have a radio? cause those old schools shouldnt have much interior, so if it did, thats a lot of points.. also, look at the height.. looks like it has bags.. since the trunk is closed, can u really tell? plus imagine how the engine could be.. u never really know man... the LS is sick though.. looks like we got another in the lambo family..

It would have been nice to have all the cars in the same class together and see what happens when the are side by side. I had a huge amount of people around my car and I am sure he did as well, this was mainly a classic car show and I still did well, but the doubt is there because we were not even parked together.

I pushed really hard tho get our own LS class because of the way the votes tend to sway to the older classic cars and we came up a few cars short, maybe next year.

Good point...pitting very clean and very custom classic cars against newer models can be an uphill and almost impossible battle....especially if the newer car isn't worth more than $75,000.

That trunk is sick...especially with the Lincoln star in the middle.

By the way...how much did those lambos run you?

Another very good point....lol..

And by the way...I've got an XBox 360 in my LS as well....I just couldn't figure out where to mount it until now. You can just remove the plastic gaurd between the backseat and the trunk that is behind the fold down armrest/cupholder. That space is perfect to reach through to fiddle with wires and electronics not to mention very discreet...

Of course this was a show..so I guess you gotta put the 360 out there! lol.

The pics are hot....but still do not do your LS justice. You say 6 weeks....in parts, labor, 40 hours a week at least! TOOO HOTT!!!!

Rides wanting to park with their club (or elsewhere,) vs parking in your class. That's a tough call I think I should have made better....my Mark parked across the street beside "twodour" red's ......nufsed (no hate, no hate...just jabbin..lol.)

It was great meeting you both and will be looking forward to you posting a pic in the Guys thread! lol Smooch!
