A Morgan. Well maybe i pimp that "Wildcat" skrev i meddelandet news:3%MOd.10992$ snipped-for-privacy@tornado.tampabay.rr.com...

Perhaps I'm really out of it but I'm not sure what it you're asking when you say you want to "pimp" a car model?

make it look like a car a pimp would drive...wild paint, excess chrome, some endangered cat's hide's upholstery and ostentation to excess.

It's what Inspector Clouseau does when his tires are flat.

And don't forget the chrome-plated wagon wheels which are all the rage right now!

ah, new school. i couldn't imagine a real pimp driving rice.

Don't forget the fat boy muffler that lets everyone within half a mile that your four-banger Honda is on the prowl!

Bill, you ain' the only one...

That would be whistle tips........

there is no substitute for cubic inches.

AFAIK, the last plastic Lincolns were the AMT '69 models. When Lincoln changed the body for '70 the kits stopped. There 'might' be resins out there but they'd all be mucho bucks. TKM might have a cheap one but it'd be easier to start with a block of wood and whittle away everything not a Lincoln. I do have one each myself for '66-'69 (as well as '58-'65!) but I don't have any extras. And then there's Modelhaus offering the '56...mmmmmm! I can just see a convertible in Wysteria....... :)

And the screaming whine of a four banger in heat... 'Fraid I'm of the multi-cube-American-V8-throbbing persuasion myself.

Didn't Palmer make a Mark III back in the day?

Or go for the Caddy, and locate one of those Johan Eldorados that had some pimperific extra parts as it was.
