Thanks! Thanks, good to hear you enjoy my thread. Its can be one set of points, but they both look to be working as they should. I've...
I hope so, but I think it comes down to the engine. I've been trying to get it to start the last week, but I only get spark on six cylinders (the...
A few updates: Finally got around to do the passenger side running board. With that done, pretty much all major parts are there, so now its time...
Tell me more on PM! About Kirsten Flagstad, she actually had a 1938 Lincoln, but it was a K-series. <iframe...
Thanks! Thanks. I think I'll put the engine in first, I'm not sure it needs lowering in the front. When the engine was in the parts car it was...
I finally got it lowered, at least in the back. Gotta put the engine back in before I lower the front. It came down about 8,5", but I might have...
This is a weird one. The basis of the car looks to be a 1939 or 1940 Lincoln Zephyr coupe, that has been sectioned, roof cut off, and partly...

I'll do a rust repair post for once. Hope this does'nt bore you too much. I was hoping to repair the old running boards, but they turned out to...
Thanks for the kind words. Nothing beats an original coupe though, that is what I would have started with if I could afford one. Nice! I'll...
Finally done with the windshield frame! I tapered the ends a bit more, but not quite as much as a stock Lincoln convertible. I think this looks...
There you go! Glad to se them worked out for you. Nice job! The ride height is just about perfect as far as I can tell.
Looks like I haven't been her for a while. I´ve been busy finishing up the windshield frame, that turned out to be a helluva lot more work than I...
Thanks for all the input on the suspension lowering. I'm not sure what to do yet, but I'll deal with those problems when I get there. The DMV...
My mildly customized '60 Plymouth daily driver: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/101906403@N07/10667954005/" title="plym 003 by...
I cleaned up the rear end last night. One thing I really envy you guys in the US (at least a major part of the US) is the lack of rust on...
I'm in! I'm hoping to get it up and running by next season. I did that last fall also, but alot of other things got in the way. Uddevalla is about...
The car is now ridiculously high up in the air, but I guess wheel well clearance won't be an issue when I finally get to lower it. I can't wait to...
Yup, that looks like a 39. Thanks anyway! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I havent thought of that, I thought the material was to fragile to repair. Did you take any pictures of the prosess? Yeah, they´re one year...
Thanks, it means alot! I've been working on the other side the last few days. Without the fenders this is really an ugly beast: <a...
I just finished molding the left fender. It took quite a bit of adjusting and persuasion to get the fender to fit as good as possible before...
Wow, thats more like it! Thanks, that definately convinced me to chop another inch.
I finally got around to clean up the front end a bit. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/101906403@N07/10015288453/" title="zepher 235 by...
I think Calori used '41 ford bumpers. Gotta give it to you, this is the best chop I've ever seen on a 35/36 five window. The front end turned out...
I'm not offended. Its just that I've probably given this project a bit more thoughts than most people. Of course I know what you mean visually,...
It is not a poll. Go out in your garage and build something, I honestly dont care what you think of the trunk. It simply would not work with a...
Correct, the coupe doors are excatly 10" longer than the sedan doors, measuring a total of 43 9/16".
Thank you. I've got a set of freshly cromed 39 Zephyr bumpers (the split type), but lately I've been looking at other options. Not sure, but I'll...
I dont know if you've studied a Lincoln up close, and looked at the dimensions. Its a very very massive car. It has a total length of 210"....
