Guess What This Is For…

By Jen Dunnaway

I love it when someone puts a lot of backbreaking work into the kind of car that the collectors’ market doesn’t yet pay a lot of attention to—because once it’s done, you know it’s not going to be a ride that you’ve already seen a hundred times. Mechatech’s project is especially impressive, since he’s taken literally every nut and bolt out of his ‘72 Continental. Everything on this car, from the trim to the insides of the frame rails, has been stripped, blasted, refurbed, re-coated, or otherwise super-thoroughly gone over. I can’t wait to get a look at the final outcome of this epic frame-off restoration. Read all about it, and don’t forget to check out page 4 for some gnarly pics of the big Lincoln body on a rotisserie!

I just read all six pages, and looked at every picture.

This is a fun read!

Most people will never go this deep into a restoration. Never.
.
The workspace that he did this in makes it even more amazing!

I love projects like this!

Nice find, and thanks for posting it!

Super Find! I love those big ol’ Lincoln’s. I’d love to be able to do a frame off someday. That thing is huge and just look at all the Metal they used, don’t see that anymore…
