Count me in on that offer too.

I have a chrome brow, although it isn't perfect since yours is painted the issues that mine has would be covered anyway. I also have a hood and hinges and whatnot if you need those!

Luckily I have a '94 donor literally sitting in the driveway with I think everything I need on it, but I will certainly post up if I need a part or two. You all have no idea how much I appreciate the offers of help. Cars can be repaired, people not so much, so we are happy to just have...

No injuries so it's all good!

Was going south towards Springfield, got near Harrisonville and the headlights cut out. Just flicker flicker BAM, no headlights. The running lights were working OK, but the headlights cut. When I pulled over to the side of the road, they came back on. So I stomped around and shook the car and...

Let's see if it will let me upload these... Had a bit of a mishap coming back from KC, it'll put mine out of commission for a while. But it was nice to see all those Mark VIIIs together and it was even nicer to meet everyone.

5 years of being at the drag strip tells me that these are a 14.2 car at best, and that's assuming he knows how to launch it. The only strength those cars have is in the first 330', after that's it just a question of if you have enough distance to reel him in. A goobered launch on his part and...

I would call this a driver's race. The longer the distance the more the race is in your favor, so make sure you run him for a full quarter mile. Assuming you are mostly stock, if you are within a car length of him when you hit second you'll come around him at the 1000 foot mark. Don't let...

"Phenol formaldehyde resin (PF) include synthetic thermosetting resins such as obtained by the reaction of phenols with formaldehyde. Sometimes the precursors include other aldehydes or other phenol. Phenolic resins are mainly used in the production of circuit boards. They are better known...

Well yah, it is, but at the time Ford/Lincoln was real particular about it not being called "plastic". :) It is even referenced in my original brochure.

V22s as in Ospreys??!?!

People don't scroll down this far. They just get to the Mark VIII forum and stop there.

It isn't really plastic, it's a thermo-polyurethane. And that "chrome stuff" is indium. The grill was supposed to be able to take a 5mph impact and flex and not break. Over time it all became somewhat brittle but "back in the day" they were quite resilient.

I'll be there.

When I first started reading that I didn't look at the name, I just started to think to myself "Man, this guy could compete with Driller!" :) That list is just all kinds of impressive. One thing I DO have that seems to be unique is some specific data about track results: 1/4 mile ET...

Sapper, I just pulled those off my donor car. It doesn't need them so off they went. If I had a second pair I would just send them to you. :( Sorry about that.

There's no way my car is nice enough to show in a car show. I'd consider bringing the '49 up though, we've gotten a couple of trophies with that one.

Show up and I'll pay your way in. No way she can complain about that.

Also having never had the drive shaft out before, I was really pleased/surprised to see that there are two driveshaft loops, one before and one after it passes over the fuel tank. That had been a concern of mine, nice to see that someone at Lincoln thought of it too.

The only real photo I took was one to show the difference between two piece and one piece drive shafts. Here it is...
