Build overview

After responding to an ad about a Lincoln Zephyr V12 engine and trans In Fort Smith, Arkansas about 8 years back, I took a little drive south to look it over. The engine was incomplete, and I still don't know about the viability of the block, but the real gems were the complete front and rear axle/diffy, with brakes, wishbones, and lever-action shocks all from the same '46 Lincoln! The grouchy old bastard said he was tired of tripping over the shit, and offered to throw it all in if I bought the engine.......all for $300.00! The Model A frame was a scrapyard save right around the corner from my house, and was free for the taking. Take a look at that Zephyr banjo rearend...it's beefed up as hell with reinforcement ribs, looks gnarly. Lincoln also originally engineered those leaf spring button inserts that Posies uses to smooth out the ride...
