hot rod Lincoln... well sorta !

tank slotted for front bumper, base shortened, rear axle moved forward.


More trimming on the 33 got it to 28g...

And the 29 got an engine swap... sitting at 47g..we should have no issue getting to the track on time.

rules state pre-1940, [pre- '40 is 1939 and older] ... pre-war... [pre-war is pre- Dec.7 1941]...

does a 1940 willys coupe qualify ?... I'm cool with yes or no...

I knew I should have said pre-1940 rather than pre-war :) My intention was 'hot rods', meaning 'from the 1930's. I think of a '40 Willies as more of a gasser.

So, let's them pre-1940...and I'll edit the first post

Thanks!
