We've just posted another Lincoln update. This time, we go after the brakes and suspension.

I think the worst of our discoveries are over. From here it should be fairly straightforward to get working parts in place and start collecting spares for the inevitable failures that will result from running a 500 dollar car in an endurance race.

We're not going to make it with the Lincoln, but we're still heading to see the ChumpCar race at Sebring this weekend. Anybody want to meet us there Friday afternoon?

Any chance we'll see this beast at the Challenge?

It could happen, but I doubt it. We've made way more progress at taking things apart than putting anything together.

And how is that any different than any other Challenger at this point?

There's a guy near me trying to sell a near "twin" to your project car. Being a black on black LSC with a few "minor" scrapes and scratches I'm very tempted to go look this car over. From the CL ad it looks like something in the suspension is going/has gone bad. I only just saw this project online a few days ago....I think I'll go get caught up/look at it MUCH more closely.
