Zippos Customs 65 lincoln continental custom wagon.
 

well i got off work late, so i got off to a late start, but i got something thrown together to get it all mounted up. the wheel base is just slightly off from perfect, but with the shape of the wheel wells most wouldn't notice ;)

this station wagon is a "custom 3 kit" 3 different options you can do with this. if you look at the piece sitting on top of the rear, thats the station wagon part, kinda cool, but kinda chessy at the same time is the open areas have a huge window that goes in it. so its going to be build it, paint both pieces seperate, and then add that piece....... i don't like that fact. but o well, out of the box :)

well seance no one has posted up yet. I wont to say this thing is going to look freakin sweet cant wait to see the final product.....two thumbs way up

Me likes. You put any thought into the color scheme? Them Lincolns always look good in black...

Thats realy cool. Cant wait too see what color you decide. I love thoughs old continentals. Back when they didnt look like everything else on the road. Great job so far!

That's huge! It's nice to see some out of the norm builds.What colour you going for on this,something simple or an intricate scheme? This is gonna be an intersting build. :)

thanks man, i am anxious to get it completed

got a few ideas on color scheme, unsure which way i wanna go yet

thanks man, i still can't make up my mind which way i wanna go with it yet.

i am debating going one of 2 ways, both intricate, 1 just more intricate than the other


alright, heres a little progress update, got the seats cut and fitted, dash it cut to fit, that will go in after the windshield though. and the top has some nice progress, you don't get to see it yet ;)

Wow, that realy cool. I love that huge sun roof. You should find a way to make it roll up.

thanks man, i came up with something to where it folds up. here it is

well i came up with a folding style for the rag top. got the top part mounted and the dash glued in place. going to paint the chassis and fill the gap between the window support and topper piece here shortly so i can lay the base coat tomorrow.

I got something to say, its looking pretty good so far and i cant wait to see the finished result, what color are you going to be painting it? And im liking the sliding top very creative and designed pretty good. Nice work so far!

its coming along well so far it just needs abit of smoothing out.

Is woodgrain vinyl going on the dash??

i've changed color options a few times, but i finally think gold is going to suit this. :)


thanks, got her as smooth as i can now

nope, not on the dash ;)

heres the last pic on th is one too until tomorrow when its together.
