Seems I signed up here 6 1/2 years ago and did nothing. :eek:
I thought I better fix that.
Been building a '49 Lincoln coupe for 18 months now.
Complete body off chassis buld.
Chassis fully boxed with Jag front and rear.
Caddy 500 & th400.
Plenty of other mods with steering, seating etc.
5" chop happening soon.
I'll get back with pics soon.
Cheers for now :whacked:
Clive.
welcome to CHR better late then never, i always say.
welcome clive. love them big caddy engines
Thanks for the welcome.
I feel at home already.
Just yell if you want to know anything about rodding here in NZ.
I figure there are plenty of Kiwi rodders here already anyway..

Did the chop today.
I would post a few pics but the last 2 times I tried to post with pics,
I got a message that the moderator needed to OK the post.
Never saw them again. :whacked::HMMM::(:confused:

Last thing I need is a restoration job.. :eek:
Hi Clive.The photos will come up soon as the moderator just checks to see if you are genuine and not trying to sell us sh#t. It happens to all of us for only a short time. I did leave a comment on the NZHRM site but I will repeat it hear.
As some here will know I was one of those vocal about leaving the roof line alone but I now admit I was wrong. It looks fantastic and if you have that car sitting down in the weeds like that photoshop photo,it will be awesome.
My wife and my best mate were horrified at the thought of me chopping it...
Fixed that problem...:D

I posted in another thread and nothing ever came up.
Thought that was odd as it wasn't even porn. :LOL:
[QUOTE=LIFESTYLZ;403362]Clive,when they saw what you had done,that might have upset them..could be closet Lincoln restorers..:D..:eek:Quote:

The Lincoln looks cool chopped,welcome to a great forum.
Steve,if you knew just how EASY it is to throw a Jag front end under your pickup,it would be in there already...:cool::cool:Quote:

Now that didn't hurt too much now did it you can tell me,rub the salt in eh Clive.:LOL: It's is looking cool and the back window area has come together well after you gave it some thought.
Is this Lincoln one you purchased from Mexico as from what I can see it is in damn good condition for it's age.
Oh is there not much building work around for you at the moment to allow you to work on the car???
I got this Lincoln from Miami and had it shipped to LA then Tauranga.
It had been sitting in a barn for 30 years.
Someone had a go at body repairs but stuffed up on it.
I got 2 brand new front fenders with it.
Building work is very slow around here and has been for 3 months now.
Plenty of spare time at the moment.
Twilight golf starts tonight so that is my exercise for the week.
About to head up to the workshop for a hour or 2.
Hi Clive from another New Zealander, I to had trouble when trying to post pictures, gave up in the end and well just haven't been arsed trying since.
Lots of good stuff to read here.
Cheers
Ross
Tryin to post dirty pix were ya??:D Shame,,,shame...:LOL: Go and put some fresh petrol in that luxo barge and kick it in the guts,man..**)Quote:

Good place for a party too...I have it on good authority that that city really rocks!
(Didn't see you at the Nationals, what happened?
Didja think you'd get lost if you strayed too far from Mangakino?)
the car is looking great.
John.
Had plans to go to the Nats but things got in the way.
Like lackafunds and son/dil producing our 1st grandchild.
Next year in Turangi sounds like fun so will make a better effort.
Re ChCh. Thought about it but decided to stay put here.
