Another Hot Rod Lincoln.

[landman]

There have been many  Hot Rod Lincolns. Some lincolns with Lincoln or other engines, many Fords with Lincoln engines etc.

My first one was a 1934 Ford with a Lincoln 430 with 6 Strombergs.

This one will be a 1941 Zephyr with a fuel injected, Ardun V12. Mr.MacLeod will likely recognize the car.

The unpainting is progressing.

One possible rear end needs wider spring spacing or, I could adapt a NASCAR rear end.

[bisc63]

The NASCAR rear looks like a natural, easy fit.

Cool project Pat!  Awesome engine!

[landman]

Looking over the stripped body, it would appear that this isn't its first restoration. It appears to have had the front pushed in and the windshield header was definitely broken once. It was repaired with home made "glass".

[landman]

Looked in the windshield drawer and there is one which might work.

[landman]

And we know the engine will fit.

[slusher]

I really like that engine!

[landman]

Set the rear track. Now playing with the stance. Hind end too high?

This is likely better, however it looks like I'll have to enlarge the front wheel openings.

[slusher]

it looks like you may have too..

[landman]

Enlarged the front wheel openings. It turns out that the new spring spacing puts one  right where the molded in exhaust sits. So I removed some of it.

This will be a Continental with no continental spare.

[landman]

The spare recess is filling up slowly.

[landman]

the original seats sere removed to be replaced by Grand National buckets with a sort of matching rear seat. The steering wheel will be a 3D printed item by 3D Model Specialties (Ron Olsen).

[slusher]

I like the seats and steering wheel up grade, very nice..

[landman]

Added the front engine support

[David G.]

Nice progress.

This will be one great looking model when it's done.

Added a transmission to the big Ardun.

[slusher]

I love that killer engine!!

[Mattilacken]

Sweet build!

Silly question, but has an Ardun head ever existed for the Lincoln V12 or is this purely a fantasy in 1/25th scale? Looks super cool either way.

Hi Michael. As far as I know it is a fantasy.

Hmmm.. Love this shot and how the body looks stripped. I’d Dullcote it and call it done! ?

[David G.]

Gee, I wonder if that engine will be able to move enough air! ? 

Looks to be a fun build!
