I know these aren't considered he crown jewel of the Lincoln's, but when it's free and nearly %100 clean, I couldn't pass it up. So here's the deal. I plan on running it In a limited weld show. www.newalexlions.com/ go there and lick on tribute to classics menu to see basic rule layout. Now on top of those rules, I have been in contact with the head official because we had rumors floating around that they weren't going to really nitpick the cars much but leave it amounts all the driver to decide what will go through ad what won't. He is allowing me to run kickers From the dash to the front frame but may have to cut them if other drivers complain. i can also box in the rear frame if I want. My question is where should I press the grey area like include crush box area with the rest of the front and so on. I wll be running a ford 302 with fmx and 4.33 gears in nine inch. Any pics and info would be great. Also most of the other cars will most Likely be clean built round backs and maybe a few oddball cars dont waste your time with building that car for new alex.... and no way kickers are going to fly regardless of what the tech guy told you.

Not disagreeing with you, but I take what I can get and free is right in my price range. I'm not trying to win against the likes of cioppa's or anything I'm just going for fun and a chance to say I ran something other than a 80's car. But thanks for your concern

But thanks for your concern why not build it for indiana's 4th of july show or the fair show.... its a easier build.... and with that car built to the rules you could def do some serious damage.

The other reason is that it is military tribute night. I'm prior service and I have good friends deployed in Afghanistan right now. So the car will be dedicated to them. Who runs the Indiana shows and what are the rules.

I know a guy that built one here a couple years and did really well with it. Front bumper is hard as heck. I would say to probably build it more like the thunderbirds though

Ok guys I know that I should hardnose the front of this car but with my rules I cant truly hardnose it by welding it to the frame.
My rules state: "Bumper shocks can be welded to the bumper and bumper shocks can be welded solid but cannot be welded to the frame"
Wondering what your guys thoughts and opinions are.
