FIRST FIRE UP on the 1965 Godzilla Continental! - Hotrod Lincoln Build Ep. 15

[@Siyadlams]

That exhaust sounds tame in a nice way. It is not obnoxious, but deep sounding. I love it. This car is going to be great when it’s done.

[@deeremeyer1749]

Pretty close to being done and shipping out? With that over the top throttle cable? Does the AC work? What trans is behind it? How about power windows and power locks and power brakes and power steering? Everything connected correctly and functioning properly? Or just "hooked up and working"? That "build" looks maybe 25 "done" with about 150% to go to make it COMPLETE.

Awesome work! She sounds great! Thanks Mike, Dave and Andrew!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thanks for watching!

[@adoksym]

That exhaust sounds amazing. Great job!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

It'll sound even better when it's out of the shop and on the road!

[@fordnut4914]

Glad you tossed that orange interior. I thought it looked hidious i said while back black seats look better.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

It's not getting tossed completely! Just reupholstered

[@hedrives]

Enjoying this build from S2S . Appreciate your content. Keep up the good work.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Yacheezy_Jones]

Sorry fellas, I’ll give you second place 😂. I believe my car is the first ‘zilla swap completed in a Conti. I’ve been driving mine for close to a year now. Congrats on the start up! Sounds good.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We need to see a video of it to make it official! lol How's it handling down the road?

[@OxaudioPhilly]

@@SalvagetoSavageI can assure you Jay did it and has been driving it for about a year now.

[@Yacheezy_Jones]

@@SalvagetoSavage the car is a beast! These motors pull hard. I did upgrade the suspension substantially to keep it on the road.

[@vernonkirton6369]

Yea we’ll wait rite here, go ahead I wanna see…👀❓

[@mrm4155]

S2S changin the game with this one! Nice!!!

Thank you!!!

Looking good. Hope you guys survived the Stormageddon.

[@kamgatombou2795]

Perfect job

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thank you!!!!

[@Scott_G]

I still don't understand why the exhaust is IN the trunk rather than UNDER the trunk.. Seems like a lot of heat in there with the air tank.. I guess we just trust the experts. :)

[@NathanaelNaused]

Agreed but I just got here so I don't know either

[@ccolagio_]

because the customer said: i want the exhaust in the trunk (its a design/aesthetic based decision)

[@Scott_G]

@@ccolagio_ I guess the customer is always right...

[@satansnarwhal]

Not to mention it’s gonna make that trunk lid egg frying hot so don’t accidentally lean against it. Shit is stupid asf

[@joshualocklear1099]

Cause the customer wanted it there, buddy ain’t going grocery shopping in this I highly doubt. It’s a show car, pop the trunk and look at the amazing work

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

What a cool car, sounds great! Yeah, those orange seats *got* to go, black interior's gonna look sick!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We can't wait to get moving on the interior of this thing!

[@ralphferguson1]

I think we all understand that you build what the customer wants, and that’s fantastic. But all that time, money, engineering, and talent to be put into a project that has got to be the silliest most goofy freaking thing that I’ve seen in 60 years, and I’m very open-minded. But you guys did a fantastic job. You’d have to be really good to put this thing together.

[@samperras]

Lotta work, good viewing

[@chevy2kss]

Those panels in that trunk looking bit rough with no seam sealer

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We're going to be finishing them up 100% soon!

[@notj5712]

Cool car, but if I bought it, I would have to immediately have to undo all that trunk fuckery.

[@MightyMag]

I want that car so bad.

[@onestreet846]

Definitely you need to put a hoodscop on there to hide that ugly cut

[@VonGontaHaus]

why are you putting super hot exhaust in the trunk? You already have the exhaust fully routed beneath the car. For showing off the exhaust, the car needs to be on a lift, not inside a trunk. Very unusual choice. Overall, excellent build.

[@Matt-nw2pt]

100% agree

[@alexbliss5927]

Then also make the trunk rear open so you can only see it from the sides?! They just cannot say no to the owner of this thing, who has absolutely no idea what he’s doing.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

The owner wants to be able to show off the exhaust without it being on a lift!

[@tylerbarrett6652]

Oh yeah! This was the build that got me to really check out this channel. This Lincoln is sick! It's like - the PERFECT restomod! Excellent work guys... well, except for the fact that you can't keep ice cold beer in the trunk.. So - not tailgating at the football games, no matter how much the one guy reminds you of Coach Campbell....lol.

[@Vaino_Hotti]

There's no resto in this build, only mod 🤣🤣

[@joshualocklear1099]

@@Vaino_Hottiany car that goes from “non running junk” to “running beautiful car” is a resto. Sound like a hater

[@Danjet96]

How do you get the stainless hard lines to stay in the push to connect air manifold. Are you using the bulkheads to keep the stainless lines pushed in?

[@Hanibul_Lecktor]

It's different, and I think some want traditional. To those, drop $500k to $1.5 million on your own vision, show us how to make everyone agree with your idea of custom 😊 One question, do you have concept of design art, on what you're looking to achieve? I wanna see how you contrast or flow the color of those seats. Done right, those will pop.

[@alexbliss5927]

Shame you spent all that time installing custom suspension, bags and plumbing exhaust to not even close to lay pinch 😂 you’ll just be laying 5000lbs on that exhaust when you air out?

[@thundermite1241]

Electric power steering might be a worthy upgrade theres a kit for 1st gen mustangs that allows you to put a prius electric power steering unit in it

[@SalvagetoSavage]

It's not everyone's taste, but it's only being built for one person! Thanks for the support!

[@thundermite1241]

@@SalvagetoSavage fair enough my concern is the fact you ran the steering shaft through the headers which i feel could cause problems in the future

[@Googie6767]

Great channel, disappointing resto-Lincoln. At least the orange is going.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thank you!

[@1973GLH]

Not a huge fan of the exhaust in the trunk. Great work overall.

I don't like being a critic but sometimes you just have to say something. To be honest I like 98% of the work you guys do, there's really only two parts of your work that I don't agree with. And that is your tube work like you're exhaust work and your cold air intake work. I just don't think all those little pie cuts look good and they definitely don't look professional. I mean you should be able to find a professional exhaust company to bend your exhaust pipes and you could continue to make your cold air intakes the way you have to use as a mock-up, but then send them off to a company like HSP and have them professionally bent and powder-coated....

[@lethal_larry]

their exhaust geometry fab seems to be a lot of "well that looks cool send it" vs actually designing an exhaust around the needs of the engine. the pie cuts can look cool if you use titanium with argon purging for intake runs but not really what you want on an exhaust. also not a fan of the center mounted tailpipes, would've been cooler to do a non spider trunk exhaust and just made a simple 4 tailpipe setup with a bypass solenoid for the muffler. bet this project was a lot of design by committee and one of the committee members being the owner. sometimes that's how it is.

[@johntice7745]

Haters gonna hate.

[@ramyanthony4615]

⁠@@johntice7745only hating is you hating on dude for his measured and thoughtful comment about what he’d do differently…which wasn’t even close to hating lol In custom designs it should be expected there will always be differing opinions. If the youtube comments section was only to be used for positive comments it wouldn’t be worth reading

[@johntice7745]

@@ramyanthony4615 opinions are cool, great, criticism is a good thing. Obviously a lot of thought and planning goes into these cars. Bending tube to extreme angles and offsets obviously isn’t the best route, which is why these guys use pie cuts. Spend the money to piece it together, then take it and get it bent to match, then come back and it needs to be tweaked so you end up cutting it and adding or subtracting just weld it back together, doesn’t make sense. When you can use pie cuts and make it go where you want it to go, seems a lot smarter to me. Besides the process they use to weld it is the same process we use in the oil field (back purge and TiG) it’s going to extremely durable and leak proof.

[@Louis_B_creations]

Pie cuts are acualy a professional look. Tons of people do that

[@d.d.t.7239]

I don't like the truck work, with vents on the floor and the flow out the back. It takes the class out of the car, not taking away the good work you all do I'm looking for ideas, but I definitely know. I'll be making a sleeper with class and luxury

[@deeremeyer1749]

You call yourselves "car builders" but you couldn't keep the engine "throttle by wire"? That's hilarious.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Make sure to send us over some reference links to cars you've built so we can get some inspiration for how it should be done!

[@clubsport9334]

Pretty underwhelming layout for the exhaust tips and outlet location.
