I have a 41 Zephyr 3W at a local builder (Norm at Vintage Metal in Yucaipa) that's in pretty sad shap. See photos:

First, does anyone know the proper wheelbase for this car?

Right now the makshift floorpan is pretty much holding the body off the frame and not straight either.

The body needs to come off the frame so the frame and body can be assesed as needed. I plan to make a large wooden dolly to hold the body. Then reposition it correctly and fix the frame.

Currently it has a Camero front clip which is in unknown condition. There is a LOT of cancer in the body to cure.

Fortunately I have purchased a great deal of the bold/weld-on body parts, see photos, but still much to fabricate and repair.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I probably can't afford all the parts to make it a stock Zephyr but maybe in time. Currently the plan is a custom.

I bought the car on the advice of a HAMBer from another HAMBer but I suspect (hope) neither knew the extent of the bad condition.

Is a floor pan available reasonably for this car? Is a chassis interchangeable from another car? Is suspension parts interchangeable? Maybe I can find a junker and just swap? I have purchase the majority of parts form Merv Adkins but I really need more affordable parts.

Please help if you can.

Thanks
Zoot

Sorry, I can't view the photos without a "Snapfish" account, which I do NOT wish to establish. Is there any way you can post the photos on this forum?

If you follow these instructions, the forum will work pretty well.

Be sure to enter the description of your photo BEFORE you browse.

If it's like my '37, from the floorpan down there's no difference between the body styles. Since it's a unibody, it won't be just a matter of unbolting the body though.
