landman Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 So the engine crosmember ended up further back. Next is to fit a driveshaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 I am leaning hard towards the metallic green. Wouldn't be too flashy for this type of car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 Scrounged a '67 Mustang console. The hose nib of a Fujimi shopvac will make a nice shifter boot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big John Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) Yes indeed the 1941 Zephyr has got to be one of the sleekest cars of the vintage era! Perfect project for the Ardun 12. I am partial to blue but the metallic green is pretty sharp too. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

David G. Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Nice progress on this. I think the green will look great, maybe with some white accents. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 "carpeted" the interior 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 I broke the windshield frame repeatedly, so I cut it off and will try to adapt this one. The centre trim piece wasn't reuseable so I put a wire in the groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Real nice shade of green Pat, maybe that windshield frame will work for you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Excellent idea to use the wire as a trim piece. David G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 Pieces of rod and tubing will make a steering column and a flat headed pin will make a turn signal lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 Some filing/shaping will be required to use that windshield. And...the car is already painted. Wish me luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) The finishing details were a challenge. Either I am too old, I am getting clumsy or it wasn't a good idea but I kept dropping, breaking or otherwise making a mess. The license plate says Poifect but the end result is far from it. However I imagine an Ardun V12 in a car this heavy would be something to contend with. Edited August 1, 2022 by landman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 some days are just like that an you got to know when to fold them and walk away. Very Nice job all the same Pat. The injected Ardun V12 would definitely make it jump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
