1937 Lincoln Zephyr: After 50 years Ian Has Brought New Life Back Into This ICONIC Part of Americana

right here, yeah, I could cut

this

off instead of worrying about everything oh no, because I welded, I'm welded now, I can see right here,

this

is this bumper, it probably took a hit, ah, yeah, you. I can see it, I bet I could go ahead with it, it has to work though, see yeah, this when you thought it all out is G to do it, but this has been a very good investment for the money I've had over the

years

they should take care things better here we are, oh yeah, yeah, we're totally going to work, there's a different end to this, maybe that rubber end is right over there.

I was saying about an inch you're going to get this set, measure it, it's going to be a lot. It's easier to fix it to join if I set it too wide, so I'm going to try it so we're at nine and it's pushing that side out, which isn't a bad thing, we have to push that side out, so what happens If you turn the Porta the other way? Does it matter? Yeah, it's not going to make any difference. This is very stressful. I have to hit him. do that so that the least resistance is what moved.

Look, this is Twisted, yeah, so I said nine 10. Pick this up and see what happens. It comes

back

together. It is not a decisive factor. I think we're going to spread this. Lets put. put the grill on and see what it does see what without the clamp it just fits now it's cool twist this on the car open it see what happens now it's like it's there classic american vehicles mhm I can't even imagine what what it would cost Replace this grill if you can, I'm installing it with a sledgehammer, yeah it's complicated, oh yeah look at this out of shape shape.

I was led to believe this was pushed in, but look at that interesting, who knows, maybe this car crashed. found a location Parrilla listen to what I say about that mhm, that's a possibility, I mean, this can be corrected, that's not terrible, it's just an interesting development, every car has a story, if you know cars, they will fight you in every step of the way. This way, you could leave that power port in the car for the moment, let Zephyr think about it when you leave it there, potentially find the metal memory and stretch it, well, better not.

Leaving it, yeah, I mean, it'll probably just sit there, but yeah, your ideas have some merit, especially if we're going to repair it. You know, if I start pushing and pulling, it's a solid support at the bottom, this will come. That's definitely easy and some do it with some tie down straps, but for now I want to roll this up outside and see what it looks like. We are not here to repair accidents and dents. We didn't expect it to be like this. a completely different Rabbit Hole we're going to put the hood on it but if the car crashed it didn't take as hard of a hit because these are the original fenders so maybe I just put it on the bumper and I think I need some rubber gaskets for the headlights. but they are here, you don't want to let them go, are you telling me for me or for me, for you, telling me for me?

They always come to

life

once you set your eyes on them, fancy lass, let's roll it outside, it looks like it's on target. in the right direction the first time, oh yeah I see a car this big doesn't need to be on the ground, the rear will go down a bit but that's as low as it can go. I'm happy with it and Ian swears it's I'm not going to cut it I'm not going to cut it No, I'm not going to, no, yeah. I love how the tires fit on the fender. I moved them a little forward from the original, which is done a lot when you really lower a car. the wheelbase is a little stretched Dynamite, super excited, look at that face, yeah, it's such a strange design, it's amazing, I just love it, I love this super deep cavity, it's like you can't see that this cup, this project it was kind of like uh it just came in unannounced it was a good opportunity and I just couldn't leave it in the

back

of the store without being able to turn it so that was our intention.

Let's put this in the container for storage. Of course, a bit of a foray into directing to get those things going, but we have another project, it's been kind of a long-term hold and it's along the same lines. I think it's 38 37 38 some of you will recognize it, but that car is a driver. It's a Steerer customer who picked it up. We'll put it into action next.
