    I bought a 1977 Lincoln Versailles about a year and 8 months ago and this weekend it is finally going to start getting all of the parts removed that I want. Can anybody think of anything else that might be good to remove, besides what I listed below?

    9" rear end
    front & rear disc brakes
    center console
    factory floor shifter
    302 & C4
    battery heat shield (if there is one)
    would the radiator & shroud be useful? could it have an electric fan?

    Well, yesterday and today the car got stripped of all the parts that I plan on using. The rear end is not a limited slip.:mad: It didn't have the battery heat shield and I don't think the radiator would do me any good, but I did get everything else listed above. I also got the 1" sway bar.(y) We were going to get the seat tracks for the electric buckets in case some body needed them, but don't know that it would be worth the effort. It will probably be here until Friday if anybody can think of anything they might need. It had what looked like almost new shocks on the rear so we grabbed them, but don't know if they will fit or not.:huh: The last thing we did was lift up the back seat to look for any lost treasure. We found an old velcro wallet with 4 one dollar bills and about $3 in change. Not a huge find, but it bought lunch for my friend who was doing most of the work.:D
