[QUOTE=raguemoe;365730] "paint prison" for 1 1/2 year when I was quoted 4 months). QUOTE]

WOW talk about over promising and under delivering WOW is all I can say. I know things change as a project moves forward but it was just body and paint and it took 1 1/2 years, first time it was not worked on ok, second time I come back with my trailer and we go home together. Lucky for me I do not have that problem, but of corues I do not have much time to work on my own anyway so it does get stuck in paint jail just can't yell at myself, if I do I just quit on myself.

It's been awhile since my last post & I've made some changes & had some setbacks. I changed my wheels to the NewGen Lites 19" all the way around (19x11 rear & 19x8.5 front). I also changed the tires to Bridgeston RE-11's (305's & 255's). Well, I had the clutch replaced after I got the car back from Driverz inc. and on the way home the pass. side wheel bearing grenaded on me.

So now I'm having Diff Works in Corona go through the rear end (new big Ford ends, new posi unit & Wilwood brakes installed). As soon as I get it back I should be on the road!

Next year I plan on upgrading the front brakes to the 14" Wilwood setup w/ATS spindles and change a few things under the hood.

Some pics of the wheels mocked up!

Killer choice on the wheels! Perfect on that car.

What do they say "one step forward, two steps back". My rear suspension was installed 1" off center and my rear wheels were built wrong and don't fit (see suspension forum).

It is Ford Lincoln silver (05 Navigator). I was happy to almost complete that truck, it came out just like the pic I had in my head for 6yrs. I still have my white 67 C-10 so I'm good!
