Tainted Love.

[Deleted]

Yea a Marilyn Manson song has inspired me to do this, I got tire'd of working on Fordzilla, so I'm taking a break and starting another one, I couldn't find a '65 Lincoln hardtop, well one that was cheep enough for me, soooooooooooo, I took the front clip off a '65 an mated it to a '64, VOLA! got what i was after, now this will be my version of the Lincoln, I will use all the Kustom stuff, slam it to the weeds, and other special goodies, it will be a Pearl Black with Black Cherry Red interior, I't will sport white walls I think, and some kewl wheels, here are some pics of the mating:

[olskoolrodder]

Yeah.....slammed looks better! ;D

OK, first off no I aint been sleeping, did some minor hood modification yep, some wont like it but you other's will, and you know who you are, I went with the Revell part's pac, 427, yep, with a med rise intake, going with a pair of 1250 dominators, so I had a lil fit issue with the hood, so I added a revers cowl hood scoop, no not to much, then went out, and made the front axle into pins, still a lil work to go on the hood, the interior, is not done yet, it will have black accents, well here are some shot's for ya:,

[darcy]

The hood looks good!

OK, here we go just about off to paint, the hood came out awsome, but of course, I did it, just one last check for any dings, and what not's then some wet, and scrub, and we're off to the race's.








OH! by the way, she will be HOK Black Pearl, about 3-5 coats, then, maybe even some transparent red, just to give it a nice tint...

[Deleted]

Really can't see the pearl, ohhhhhh, but it's there, and allot of it, anyway this is just the first, the inside will be painted Black, I will take some outside shot's in the morning before it rains, still have to fine wet sand this, no the hood paint didn't crack there on the corner, it was where the gator clip was, yeah duh, even used flash, I thought for sure the pearl would show up, man does it ever in the sun....

[Deleted]

Not a good shot here, looks as if I'm gonna have to brake out the photo booth, but here's a shot, after last coat, now for the finale minor scuffing, and smoothing, then gloss.

[Deleted]

OK, well here she is dress'd in lady of the night Black Pearl, plus this will be the last mock shot till assembly, bet you guys are glad about that, here you go,

[Deleted]

Ok, I lie'd here's the engine for Tainted love, part's pak 427, scratch built dizzy, wire's 30 gauge, from Radio Shack, resin 1250 dominator carb's, Moroso valve cover's from the part's box, tranny from the '65 Lincoln kit, air cleaner's from

[Deleted]

Sorry for those that were fallowing this build, well it has been shelved, yes, the cowell broke during buffing, so paint has to go all the way to the bone, but it will be better this trip, so hang in there, Tainted Love is not dead.....

[dogfish7 (R.I.P.)]

What goes down..... must come up She was looking so good too

[Deleted]

My poor baby after her dip, look's so naked, the piece that broke should be just about ready to come out, anytime now, I decided not to take it all to the bone, then again the brake juice, help'd with that choice too......

[santeras]

Stunning, a lot of great work gone on here. The hood really fits and the stance is perfect... love it.
