1937 lincoln zephyr out side build

to do a lot of the work out side, in washington state tells you guy we hade a nice indian summer, i hope no lincoln pure'st bombs my house for cuting up a barn fresh 4 door zephyr. the V-12 is being rebuild with a rare Edmond's duel carb,zephry v-12 embosed carb, Duane Skarbic from this site is rebuilding it.Aluminum head's center dump exhaust manifold.

 

looks like a lot of work but worth it

 

There was one of those in a 4 foor convertible in a junk yard on the east side of Atlanta for years. I saw it about 1985-1988. Needed everything but saveable, barely. Then one day I went by the they had cushed out that area. Found the red ceramic hood emblem on the ground and knew it had not made it out alive.

Looking good! Well worth the work. It doesn't get much better than a 37 Zephyr. Maybe a 38, but maybe not.

 

damn cool...

 

As a fellow 37 Zephyr owner I have to comend you on your work work. A year or so ago I sold a 3 window coupe top to a fellow in Mn. who did the same type of conversion. I kick myself everyday for getting rid of that one as I have never been able to find another top. Keep up the good work and post progress pics often. I'd love to see it when it's done.

 

That was a great use of a clean 4 door sedan body and (what I ***ume was) a very rough 3 window coupe.

And really, nothing much went to waste. Save the 4 door sedan doors, someone might need them to fabricate coupe doors. Also save the section of the roof with the cool split window in it, someone will want that. Someone may even want those beat up fenders.

If nothing goes to waste, then it wasn't a shame at all to cut up the sedan. I like what I see, and a hopped up flathead 12 will be a kick-*** engine for the car. Well done.

 

Nice work! Where in WA are you?

I'm in Mt. Vernon, and have a 38 3 window thats REAL rough and a pretty decent 39 sedan. the original plan was to do what you're doing, but I think I'm going to attempt to build both cars at this point.

I'd like to come by and have a look-see at some point if you're anywhere near.

 

i live in Longview, my brother lives in Mt Vernon, stop by any time.

 

Damn,thats lookin good,keep us all posted(PLEASE)

 

that is great! Too much work for me, but I love zephyrs.

 

Wasn't it me that turned you onto that 37? Oh yeh it was I kinda wish I bought it.
That coupe is good save nice work!

I really like the LZ, it's awesome..I also like the 2x2 intake, those LZ carbs look great, nice work..
OH..Duane.

 

I think you've done the right thing. As Squablow says, the s****s will still be useful.

 

hats off to you...very cool ride

 

One of my dream cars, right there.
Keep us posted please.

 

My first thoughts were: Hope Hudsoncustom has seen this thread.
Looking good.

 

Rare as hens teeth. I love those cars cut or original. That'll be a bad *** custom.
Yes, Keep us updated please?

 

Very cool project! Nice work. Let me know if you would want to part with the steering wheel.

I love those style dashes. I am using a '38 lincoln in my 36:

 

That is kick ***.

What 4 door? I didn't see any 4 door?

Yeah, definitely save all you can. Someone will need it.

 

i have a steering wheel the crome is good, ****on is good, but plastic on the ring is bad. thank's CH

 

37 Zephyrs are my favorite car ever. My buddy Russ (the Cisco Kid) did the same thing with a 4 door to make a coupe.

 

Sent you a pm on the dash out of the 4 door

 

sweet ride when its done,are they ever done? good luck

 

Aint it great working in the rain in WA?? I'm Hopefully getting a garage this winter though

 

That my friend is sweet! I'm using a 39 dash in my 37. Yeah Dave I am forever in your debt over that top. Wishin I still had it.

 

Looking good. I have a 37 4 door over in Eastern Wa. They are cool cars no matter what body style. I built mine 7 yrs ago with late Ford running gear but if I can help you with info or sourcing of the some of the body stuff give me a E mail. Hope to see it on the road. Bob
