Ryan’s Continental · Build Journal

Lincoln Continental

A low Continental with a polished, Whipple-supercharged Coyote and an engine bay shaped by hand. Ryan’s Lincoln brings a restrained look to a substantial mechanical transformation.

Metal fabrication

Ryan’s Lincoln arrived at Chris Cerce Customs in May 2026 after Choppin’ Block installed front and rear subframes with air suspension. Chris noted that this foundation lets the car sit down to its rocker panels without cutting out the entire floor, saving time for the rest of the build.

The engine bay is being built around a fully polished, Whipple-supercharged Coyote. Instead of treating the surrounding sheet metal as an afterthought, the team is shaping a coordinated enclosure to suit the engine and the Continental’s character.

By late summer, Superior Dustless Blasting had media blasted the shell and coated it in epoxy primer. Fabrication then continued with details such as a push-in radiator cover that removes without visible mounting hardware, keeping access to the radiator straightforward. The work shown here is an ongoing fabrication project.
