Fixing our HUGE Mistake on the Godzilla Swapped Continental Grill - 7.3L Lincoln Build

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We're getting ready to send this 7.3L Godzilla swapped Continental out of the shop for body work! But first, we have a few key issues that we need to address; including fixing the front grill that you guys hates SO MUCH! We are also modifying our hood to fit our throttle body and routing our throttle cable down the side of our intake. And while we're connecting cables to our drivetrain, it's a great time to install our push button transmission shifter!
We're so close to getting this motor swapped Lincoln Continental fired up and rolling down the street! So make sure to like and subscribe so you don't miss a single episode!

    You guys do great work. But every single aesthetic change done to this car has been utterly atrocious. Godzilla swapped and bagged? It could have been a work of art had it been left at that. Leaving the bumpers alone and simply tucking them? Even better! But this thing, good lord! It looks like someone played finger roulette and built a car with the performance aisle of an autozone and a JC Whitney catalog..

    I would say that I don't want my Lincoln to look like that but everyone has their own style. I'm sure back in the day lots of people didn't agree with the way custom cars were being modified but look at the legends that were created. You guys are doing a fantastic job of making the owners dream a reality and the work is spot on as always. This Lincoln brought me to the channel and I'm glad it did!

    Once this thing comes back from the body shop we should be having a ton of more episodes for you! We really appreciate the support. And you're right. Who knows how many builds back in the golden era of hotrods were written off before the iconic style was developed. We're just trying to break the mold and do something different while keeping the customer happy!

    It's takes a LOT of effort to make such a classy/beautiful car look this disgusting. So, congratulations I guess? The fact it's getting wrapped fits in perfectly with all the other design choices.

    Strike 2 on the grill. The obs headlights just don't work in my opinion. I really wish the owner stayed with the original grill. I'm all for tweaking the cars styling in subtle tasteful ways but when you start with such a beautifully originally styled car to begin with, going this radical is going to get a lot of mixed opinion.

    You guys are mad fabricators, make some mechanical linkage with maybe some small heim joints to drop below throttle body over to driver side then cable to pedal below hood , or is throttle body able to be flipped? Putting cable on drivers side and lower. I understand that the customer gets what the customer wants but seeing the cable on top like that really bums me out..
