Chuck Pierpont Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 More on project Zephyr at Austin Speed Shop. Again, this is not my car but, a build I was assigned to. It was put together by other people, blown apart and painted and my task is to put it back together. The people that did all the previous work are not longer there, and no one seems to know much about what is what. I am not an old Ford guy so, this is quite a challenge for me. I am having a hard time determining what went where originally in the dash. I found the attached pic and added the text to show what I believe is the correct id. of the knobs. Am I right? Also, it has an odometer reset cable with a small knob, where is that supposed to be placed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38ShortopConv. Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Hi Chuck, Im a 38 LZ person but as its 18 hours since you asked Ill jump in. The 37 dash layout looks sensible to me. The odometer trip knob on my 38 is fixed in a slot under dash panel on left or right of center consul. Assume 37 is similar. Look for a slot under there in the dash metalwork, there may be one each side, the second one would be for clock setting cable. The experts should jump in now. .How about a complete pic of whole car, maybe its a Street rod, hence the silence. Enjoy the project, Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Pierpont Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 It is a car being built by Austin Speed Shop. I guess you could call it a street rod. I do not see what difference it makes what you call it. More of a hot rod but, sure not an original type restoration! It is a '37 that will be powered by a 4 Duce "56 Lincoln 368 Y block with a 700 4R trans, 9 inch Ford rear end, 4 link with coil overs, manual rack with coil overs on the front. Anyhow, I figured out all the dash stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
