Chuck Pierpont Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hello, new guy here. I recently got a job @ Austin Speed Shop and was assigned the task of working on a build of a 36 Zephyr coupe. The guys that took it apart and did the work that is done are no longer around. So, nobody there knows anything about all that. I have a pile of parts, a bunch of bolts and what not in baggies, but, not pictures or, anything else. I need information on body mechanical assembly. Things such as window regulators, parking brake lever, hood latch etc. Does the factory repair manual show this stuff? All the suspension/drive train/ electrical/ is modern hot rod kinda stuff so, that is not a problem. I can buy a reproduction manual but, don't want to if does not have the info I need. So, looking for advice as to where to find this info. -Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abelincoln Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'd look for a parts book, and a body book, nice drawings and dimensions. Probably better would be to find an intact Lincoln of your model and take lots of pictures. Abe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40ZephSedan Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 What a beautiful car!! And no small task, there will be so many questions, can't do with just a couple phone calls! Any way you can get to the LZOC Gilmore Show near Kalamazoo Aug 7-12, or the Homestead Iowa Central Show Sept 12-14, or the next West Coast Show? Check to assure 36's will be there; take pics there of areas of need- talk to owners. Authenticity manual will help a little; few diagrams in Body manual; a few more in the Chassis manual. Won't find all in one place. Some "Sources" vendors on LZOC.org web page have diagrams built into their parts/price lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
