Customs The worlds worst Zephyr coupe is all mine

What a great find! One of my dream cars for sure.

 

looking around a field for the doors, etc. gives new definition to "parts hunting".

 

Sweet! Glad to see another car saved. For driving it to where it sits somebody sure went about tearing things apart.

 

cool and great save.....there's at least one maybe two about a mile from my house along with a nice at one time 4 door garage kept just wasting away....he's a funny guy.....

 

Is it done yet?

 

At least they didnt take em far

 

Haha...... wouldn't have it any other way.

Tetnus shots are for ladies..

 

Awesome! Looks Great and only missing one door and a few small things

 

These tanks were used in the beverage industry and were repurposed as oxygen tanks for aircraft during WWII

 

Would you make paper patterns of all the panels and send the patterns to me..... That would be great.

 

Just fill your swimming pool with molasses and start on it in May. Best of luck, although it sounds like you don't need it.

 

This guy did a helluva job on his...http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/37-zephyr-build-thread.720735/

 

Better here than on the "Sitting and Rotting" thread!
What year is that Hawaii plate?
Will you stay with a flathead V8, shoot for a V12, or...?

 

We had one in a shop that I once worked in that was a 4-door, with the remains of a coupe grafted on to it, to make a coupe that never was. Sometimes you have to go that far, just to have one.

 

May the winds of the islands smile upon you, brudha! Can't wait too see what's next.

 

This stuff was in leaves and scrap piles around the property. Hope I find the other door and hood today. Wish me luck!

 

I'm falling in love with Zephyrs more and more these days. Congrats on the purchase, glad you're going to save this one!

 

All the best on the search, finding that other door sure would make things handy.

Just my 2 cents - Wise move on waiting to see how it sits before deciding on a chop. Could be a tough one to pull off right and not screw it up. I think anything much over 1 1/2" would destroy the overall lines. I'd have to learn Photoshop or work closely a lot with someone that knows before I broke out the torch and saws.

Do not give up looking for that other door. It is somewhere on the property... In the garage, barn, under the front porch...it has to be somewhere....

Nice score, -Abone.

 

+2 on finding the other door... Dig up everything if you have to..... metal detector, whatever it takes....
Don't leave without it
Love those cars, good luck

 

Those are such beautiful cars. Ought to name it the compost pile when it's done.

 

No I've been working a weird schedule. I basically have not time off until the project I'm on is completed. I played hooky to pick this thing up today actually. Then it's kiss the wife hug the kids and back to work haha

 

The ass end swayed over a bit on the hour long tow truck ride but none of it blew off into the highway. So I'm gonna tarp it, collect parts and finish up my 34 coupe so I can tear into this one. Thanks for all the kind and humorous words guys. I fuckin love this shit.

 

That'll make an awesome custom! Good luck with her,I'll be watching your progress!

 

Those Zephers are beautiful even in that condition. I'm looking forward to watching you save this car.

 

I've seen you bring much worse back to life.... Ms. Zephyr is in good hands.

 

Nice find, but as soon as that body is straight and in primer someone will ask if it is glass you know. Bob

 

But did you find the door?
