Thanks, I see the brass rivets. So that's what they were for!
-
Since I never had welting on my fender skirts, I didn't know it was used. Does it attach to the fender or to the skirt? How was it attached?

Naked car needs paint! The weather in California finally relented enough for me to transport this to the paint shop. Been sanding all winter. -Dave

Bill, do you remember who you got it from? Can they match Paradise Green?

I can tell you they are not '41's. The one's from my '41 sedan have a solid rim around the perimeter and are marked with a 16H8150/51 part number on the outer rim. If the '40's are so marked they would be 06H8150/51. I'm not so sure they're Zephyr grilles. See http://www.conceptcarz.com/view/photo/81140,1935/1940-Lincoln-Zephyr_photo.aspx.

Browsing around on the Ford Barn site I found this nice concise Lincoln history video: History of the Lincoln Motor Car Company on Vimeo
What I was looking for were leads on service bulletins. If anyone knows where to get them, please speak up.

I'm getting ready for paint and I gather the fender welting is supposed to be painted the same color as the car. Since they're painting the fenders dismounted, should I have them paint the welting separately, or mount the fenders and then apply a final coat of paint?

Hey, thanks for taking it on!

There's a manual on Ebay. Item #370467620524.

Here are a few pictures of the clutch and brake springs on my '41 sedan. The Chassis Parts book says the springs are the same for 40-48, so this may be useful. Not very pretty - guess I've got some cleaning to do underneath. -Dave

Dee Peecher was kind enough to respond and is sending me a couple that will go directly to Skip. So I will get the job done for about half of what it would have cost if I had won the bid. Congratulations on your good fortune, Jeff!
-
We'll thankfully my $500 bid wasn't ignorant enough! Guess I'll have to try to find some cores. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm watching a pair of Skip Haney rebuilt water pumps on Ebay go for around $500. I'm going to need some when I get around to working on the V12, but is this what I should expect to pay? -Dave

My '41 sedan is sanded and blasted to bare metal. Just a few more touch-ups and she'll be ready for a new skin. I decided not to sand down the jambs. I hope the feathering at the door corners isn't too conspicuous.

See United Speedometer Gone? Need Help! - THE H.A.M.B. and good luck! I feel your frustration. I waited 14 months for my dash and molding wood grain work to return and thought I'd never see it again. Thankfully it just came back and the job was outstanding.

I mailed a letter to his home address hoping that a relative or friend would pick it up and write something we can use in TWOTZ, but haven't heard anything yet. I noticed his ad was still in the last issue - a sad reminder.

Is the "Bonsalls" book that has the production numbers "The Lincoln Motorcar Sixty Years of Excellence"? It's available at Amazon. See Amazon.com: The Lincoln Motorcar Sixty Years of Excellence (9780934780063): Thomas E. Bonsall: Books

I have his mailing address. I'll try that.
-
Thanks for the pictures, Phil. Seems like he should be remembered in TWOTZ. Dee, would it be possible for his son to provide something? If nothing else we should just send in all the testimonials here.

Thanks for giving us the news, Peecher. If you hear of plans for a service, please let us know. I would like to pay my respects in person. I wish my car, with several of his parts, was in shape to take me to Santa Cruz.

I'll give Merv a call to make sure he knows the situation. If someone else has done so, speak up. Rolf has been very kind to me over the years. I have a beautiful speedometer (see the back cover of TWOTZ May-June 2007), some gorgeous hub caps, and many other parts to prove it. If you're listening Rolf, here's to you!

Thanks everyone!

Keith, if I'm not already on your list, please put me down for a '41. Do you need cores?
