200,000 miles took its toll on the front control arm bolts (all of the suspension bolts really).

PSA: Do not stick your camera this close to a lit torch and oil/grease covered parts.

It's back home! Now, it is time to order coil overs for the rear and get to work finishing the interior and brakes.

Yeah for drag racing the stock Lincoln air springs aren't the best option.

Decided to knock out some work up front, removing the sway bar, removing some lines and some other small details.

Started to make new seat brackets for the car.

The hardest part so far, the bracket next to the tunnel has to have a contour made to go around the tunnel.

Recently, I had a snow tire let go on the beater and having killed two factory 18s, I decided to order to wheels for it. Downfall, no one had them in stock due to the bolt pattern. Well, the new wheels came in today so, I swapped the tires from the factory 18s over and put them on the car.
