Another Hot Rod Lincoln.

[Paul Payne]

Looking forward to more, and thanks for the pix of other hot rod Lincolns!

Cobbled something that could pass for a front suspension.

So the engine crosmember ended up further back. Next is to fit a driveshaft.

[landman]

Driveshaft is located and will fit.

I am leaning hard towards the metallic green. Wouldn't be too flashy for this type of car.

Scrounged a '67 Mustang console. The hose nib of a Fujimi shopvac will make a nice shifter boot.

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

Lower is more better ?

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.

Nice reuse of parts!   Real nice color choices I do like the green also Pat!

Nice progress on this. I think the green will look great, maybe with some white accents.

And so it is.

[landman]

"carpeted" the interior

[landman]

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.

[slusher]

Real nice shade of green Pat, maybe that windshield frame will work for you..

[David G.]

Excellent idea to use the wire as a trim piece.

Interior is coming along. it looks like the experimental green I had put on the back seat is bleeding through.

[landman]

Pieces of rod and tubing will make a steering column and a flat headed pin will make a turn signal lever.

[landman]

Some filing/shaping will be required to use that windshield. And...the car is already painted. Wish me luck.

[David G.]

Good progress, I'm interested to see how you work the windshield frame into this one.

Me too.?

You should have this Pat, you have pulled off much harder situations…

Getting there.

[landman]

Another piece of wire for the nose of the hood.

[landman]

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.

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.
