Well, got something done I've been wanting to do! It's raining, but I'll post more pics of it when it is nice out. The orig owner gt involved in a fender bender back in '98, and the painter who painted it and replaced the door skin did a hideous job. I got it done right ($3k) right and they did a fabulous job refinishing the passenger side and hood :). Oh, and awesome color match as laser red is a 3 stage paint and extremely hard to match. But, as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for!

Also is a pic of my MINT interior, so happy with the cloth seats instead of the leather that cracks easily! Enjoy! I'm going to take a powerball and finish the wheels next.

I know it! This KY weather has been so random this year! The Lincoln is not your traditional Lincoln, but I LOVE the direction they are turning with the new ones.

Just to clarify - laser red is only 3 stage by Ford, it can be sprayed as a 2 stage and come out identical. It was just a money gimmick back when they did it so the dealer salesman could say "Aaaaand this bad boy has 3 stage paint that is hard to match. Yessiree Bob, it's just that special." It's just as easy/hard to match/spray as any other metallic red, trust me.

Anyways, can't wait to check out the pics when you get some nicer weather. New paint is always such a nice feeling.

Thanks Tony! I have really noticed that clean/mint SN95 interiors are hard to come by! You should see the carpet- not one mark and looks good as new! Just ordered those mats from AM, and they really dress it up!
