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

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..

Better… but the stock grill still looks soooo much better.

I love everything yall did witht the car, but my jaw dropped when i heard you say wrapped.

@goreface Ай бұрын

Damn, wrapping this should be a crime

Custom grilles are hard to get right, simpler and understated is often better.

@janmartens7954 Ай бұрын

i love this build. The donorcar was already fabulous, this one is personalized. I still dont see this Grill. It looks like a botched 80's mad max grill inside a splendid mean lookin g MF-er.

We're getting it back from the body shop soon so we can keep rolling on this one!

@darrylqmiller Ай бұрын

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!

@SalvagetoSavage Ай бұрын

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!

@@SalvagetoSavage I just love how you guys do things that I feel like I could do also, and am doing, without all the hype and fancy tools. Not to be discounting the fact that you guys are hugely talented, motivated, ambitious and imaginative problem solvers. Love watching all of your builds. Keep up the great work!!

The trunk vent louvers are pointing 180degrees in the wrong direction. Pretty cool design overall, though.

@thesinwagin Ай бұрын

For sure. The louvers shouldn't be "grabbing" the air, trying to stuff cold air in.. They should be the other way to pull the heated air OUT.

@pole120 Ай бұрын

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.

Love all of this, but man those seats don't work. Cheapens the whole look imo. But hey it's not for me so as long as the owner is happy. Would love a continental 1 day.

I enjoy watching all your hard work, but every time I see a car, that’s a high end build with some “Custom Grille”, they feel dated way too quickly. Not a fan of it.

@commonsense7754 Ай бұрын

Can’t buy taste. It’s hideous.

That’s going to be a great looking Lincoln. I am looking forward to the finished product. Yeah, the grill is quite a step up from the previous one. Well done boys 🤙🤙🤙

Great job, Andrew, David and Mike!! Cool grille, kinda a cross between The Car and Black Beauty from the ‘60’s Green Hornet TV show. How cool can you get? Kato?

Nice work. I noticed that the louvers in the trunk lid haven't changed. I still think that the openings are facing in the wrong direction. Also wrapping the car is a really poor decision by your client.

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.

@SalvagetoSavage Ай бұрын

It will all look a lot more congruent when everything is matched with a similar color scheme

All that over the top fab work and then say f…it and mount the throttle cable on top of the intake that sticks out the hood…

@SalvagetoSavage Ай бұрын

How would you mount the throttle cable?

@user-pz7hr7iw4j Ай бұрын

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..
