1969 Lincoln Continental Rear Air Ride???

Anyone ever bagged a 69 lincoln continental in the rear? the front is done, Im just debating if i should 2 Link it off the original spring perch. It looks like its too short. It's a unibody so if I want to make a new mount, It looks as though I would have to cut the floor and make a new crossmember. Any tips? thanks in advance.

Bump

dood kyle.. i just bought two 62' continentals and i was wondering the same thing. mine have been sitting for years so i have a long road ahead, be sure to show me what you did.

on my 62 impala wagon was the sameway. i cut the floor out anyways to get rid of the rust but just used the stock link arms and the stock spring cups reinforced and crap of course. but they worked. the only thing we did on my wagon was moved them back 1 3/4 inches so when it would lay out on the 20's it would look centered in the wheel well. goodluck hope it helps.

sounds like that impala has trailing arms and coils in the rear? i know my lincoln had leafs in the rear, i think Kyle's does too

my buddy ken with did a 65 continental bagged at all fours...i think he has a pictures of it on his web site. the guy does phenominal work. his continental was also featured in socalcustoms.com as well under "low lincoln" with detailed pictures and a description of the car. hope that helps

I haven't started my 66 yet, but I plan to after fall. I've know of one that is bagged on 22's It has a 2 link, but had to lengthen the drive shaft a few inches because of so much pinion change i guess. It also had to be tunneld for the driveshaft thru the floor.

I started a thread about vinyl tops, gas tanks, and misc interior parts in another thread, if you guys have any info in that, please let me know. Thanks.

Give Jim a call or hit him up here(hammered). They are finishing up this '69 Linc http://www.killerridez.com/1969_lincoln.htm

after looking into it some more, I've decided to link it with a wishbone
