Bamamav's 1947 Lincoln Club Coupe build

Drill a few holes, attach the rack to the glass, and I now have a power window again!

Just went back and read my post. I left out the word "not". I would not overlay sheetmetal...

Yeah, I'm kinda rethinking that decision. I found some new floor pans on eBay, so I may just go that route. I've got a section of the lower rocker that I have to rebuild first, then I can tackle the floor.

Just discovered this thread. I am so in love with this car.

Yep, this is going to be a fine ride. Not very many are going to know what it is
either.

Been a while since I updated........been busy on a lot of things besides the car, but got in some work time recently, just not a lot of pics. Just about have the floor patches welded in, ran out of welder wire, so have to get more before I can finish that job. Jumped over to plumbing the brakes, got a little bit done on that. Doesn't look like much progress, but progress is progress I guess. I'm afraid Skull was right, Do one thing, then find three more that I want to change. It'll all come together, just may take a little longer than I wanted it to...


Plenty of parts to work with!



Here's a couple of hours work to get the look I wanted. Still in the assembly stages, nothing is tightened down yet.

Decided I didn't like the way the lines came out of the master cylinder, so I re-bent the front one to place the uprights closer together. Also bent the line the adjustable prop valve is in so I could mount it to the fender.



Then once I had that fixed, I bent up the line to the other front side.



Worked it around to the Tee. Now just need to attach the stainless flex lines to the wheel cylinders when I get the new ones. The loop is to take up slack in the line and provide a way to make the final adjustments when I fasten the lines down.



Next will be running the rear line.
And still need to paint that ugly orange engine black!

In due time, it will be done! Gonna ride it with the bowtie to get the bugs out while I look for a suitable donor vehicle at the right price......

That is one great lookin car! I'm glad you redid the brake system and fixed the "lug nut" situation. Other than that I'd be driving! Keep up the good work Bamamav..
