Well after having my panel for 6 months, I finally got her on the road. Two weeks ago a buddy and myself attacked the brake system. The only injury I had was a pair of visegrips to the face. I drove her about 40 miles on surface streets. It was a GREAT! I also ordered some new rims and tires for her. I should have them on in a week. I'll post pics once I have them on.

Are you sure about that bolt pattern size, if it's the stock hubs it should be 5 on 5-1/2". I did a frame swop using a 72 chevy and it is a 5 on 5

I knew that somebody was going to question this. Read the last line in my first post and you will see why it is 5on5.

So a Lincoln has a 5 on 5 bolt pattern? I didn't know that.

I was hoping you would say 16's with 5X4.5 bolt pattern. I just swapped in a '03 Crown Victoria IFS and it has a 5X4.5 pattern and requires a 16" or larger wheel. Oh well.
