Bamamav's 1947 Lincoln Club Coupe build

Is that interior all still good? The seats, at least, look nice.

Cleanup is fun, sometimes, you never know what you'll find

Did I miss it? What engine is in it? That's a great ;looking coupe.

Yep ,the seats and door panels are excellent. They were redone at some point. The headliner is cloth and thin and showing some age, so I may try some spray on dye on it to use it for a while. I may try pressure washing the carpet when I take it out, but I figure I'll end up just buying new.

A little progress to report this week. Got my wheel adapters in for the front, put them and my other tires on yesterday. It sits a bit too high in the front, needs to drop about 2". Went and pulled a 8" rear out of a 67 Fairlane today. Cleaned it up, painted it, then realized I need to change the spring perches. Quit for the day, get to it next week maybe.

Great looking car

Such a cool looking body style, like a customized Ford of the same era. Never noticed 'till now that the Lincolns still had a one piece flat front window.

I think if you move the jack stands back to where the center of the rear axle should be, you'll find the front will come down about 2-4 inches.

purty car you found.

When I get the rear end mounted I will be able to tell more about it. The trailer is not level anyway, so I can't really see the true look of it. I may just need a taller front tire to fill the fender better, those 215/60/15's are pretty short anyway.

Thought I'd post a couple of moving vids of a Canadian Rodder Member's chopped '47 Lincoln.
Also you'll find some still photos on those links of his Linc.
Are you going to chop yours ?
Quite a challenge if you do.
