I've had a lot of people ask for some info and installation instructions for my HID kits. This kit is the most complete and the only plug and play solution out there for the 97-98 Lincoln Mark VIII's and the 96 Mark VIII LSC that was originally equipped with HID headlamps. I'll be updating...

Like the title says.... Anyone interested? Now that I've found a pretty good waterjetter, and finally have my own TIG welder, I was thinking about maybe making/selling the rear relocation brackets. Doug sent me his CAD file for the base plate nearly 3 years ago, and I happened to still...

Alright guys, it's finally that time again. I'm putting together a run of 10 sets (update: I've already changed the order to 15, and I'm thinking of possibly changing the order to 20) of these. Depending on how quickly they sell, I might think about doing another run of them shortly...

As you guys know, Doug (DLF) passed away recently. I've been in talks with his wife to purchase his lathe, his specs/drawings, and any remaining raw materials. I hope to have everything in my possession sometime in September. Anyway, Doug shared his HID adapter specs with me quite awhile ago...

I'm going to be replacing the front calipers on my 98 soon, and might be R/R'ing the rears too. When I do this, I'll be replacing all 4 of the lines at the corners with stainless braided lines too. Anyway, I figure this is as good a time as any to replace all of the brake fluid. I imagine...

I'm going to be replacing the engine mounts on Scott's (achesonm8) car tomorrow and wanted to see if any of you guys had any "lessons learned" from doing this? I'll be using an engine support bar to hold the weight of the engine and/or lift it up some, if needed. I know some have needed to...

These are the headlights I was talking to you about...nearly new 9006 halogen conversion headlamps, currently fitted with aftermarket HID bulbs. Let me know what you think. I figured I'd post them here so others can appreciate them as well. They're quite beautiful.

I got myself a new daily driver car today. This car will be replacing my 97 Mark VIII. It's a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT, Stryker Blue Mettalic paint, fairly rare--one of 1,111. 49k miles and happens to already have a Magnaflow stainless steel cat back exhaust. They were asking $21,986, but I was...

Can anyone tell me for sure? Someone with a spider valve with a gauge on it, maybe? I've got one, it's just not installed yet. I was hoping one of you guys happens to know it...

This is on my black 98. I've noticed for a while that I'm losing power in the top end. It's still pretty quick, but I can tell it's not putting out what it should be. I hooked up the Xcal2 with the SCT live link datalogging software, and from what I can tell, it's retarding timing when I...

....except this one will be a G8 GT (Pontiac). :D So. I've got a wife and a 13 month-old kid. My daughter hasn't ever been in either of my Mark VIII's in her entire 13 month life span. My wife hasn't ridden in either of my Mark VIII's in at least 2 years. In the last 5 years, I could...

So, I've had these 2000 Cobra R Brembo calipers for my 98 LSC for a few months now, but have had so much crap going on lately that I haven't even been able drive the 98, let alone work on it. I had a little bit of time today, so I took the chance to fit them up on the car, just to make sure...

I woke up on Friday, and had an email from my local junkyard telling me that they just put out a 1998 Mark VIII. Yeah, they do that. Freakin' awesome sauce... Anyway, I had the day off, so I headed out there to see what they put out. Got there and immediately saw the front end of a 98...

It really is addicting! :eek: LOL, since I was moving a couple hours away, and the local powdercoating shop wasn't gonna be "local" any more. I gathered up everything left in my garage that I could find to get powdercoated and took it in. Thankfully, the new residence is only a couple...

I've got 2 sets of stock speakers sitting here that were all removed many years ago. One set was removed from my first Mark VIII back in 2002, and the other was removed from my current 98 back in 2004, so it's kinda like they're only 4-6 years old.... :shifty: I know they were only lightly...

Super nice guy! I really enjoyed the small amount of time that I was able to hang out at his house and shop this last Saturday. It's really great to meet other people with a similar passion for Mark VIII's as I have. I got a chance to check out his 3 Mark VIII's including the "test mule" for...

I've been trying to take pics of everything I do to my car lately, just in case it can help someone out in the future... A while ago, I found a near-perfect EVAP tray at the junkyard. Even though it was almost perfect, I was taking a bunch of stuff to get powdercoated, and decided to throw...

Yay!! Spent most of the day (off and on) yesterday replacing the intake gaskets due to a vacuum leak that I noticed while spraying MAF cleaner around the engine everywhere. I noticed that there was a leak of some sort at the very back of the driver's side IMRC. I figured I must need to...

So, my last day at work was Sept. 8th. I'm getting out of the Navy on Oct. 9th. I was pretty bummed that I wasn't able to get my extra set of front struts prepped for the Koni install before I left. Well, I was granted permission to come back in (Navy, high security facility, have to have...

So, after finding out that I'd have to drill holes in my A-pillar trim in order to install a gauge pod, I decided to try what I had seen on one of Jeremi's old cars. He installed 3 gauges in the defroster switch panel. I don't know how on earth me managed to get 3 of them to fit.... Here's...
