I would like to thank you Ian I've watched you since you started out over the many years and I have gained so much knowledge and inspiration from you witch has gave me alot of new skills and helped mould me into a great car builder for that I thank you... I know your set on painting the zephyr but please consider doing a patina build to preserve that clean body and the ageing it's done very well over the years clear it and give it some pin stripes give it the justice it deserves my friend please 👌😎

In the summer of 1938, my Dad's buddy Lenny had a 37 Lincoln Zephyr. Along with two other friends they drove that thing all over Wisconsin, pals on the road, no cares in the world. Destined to fight in the infantry in Normandy in 44, he always looked back on that summer as priceless.

You mention how people are always questioning your building. I have found there are always going to be complainers. Personally, I love the stuff you do.

Every builder has critics. You should read some of the comments on Bad Chad's videos.

The stance on the Zephyr is right on. A modern drive with old school looks. You nailed it this time.

When your wife said she wants to cry seeing the Zephyr roll three feet for the first time in decades, you know you found the right woman, Ian.

Jamie has come so far with her skills. I can't help but feel an award is coming her way. Thank you.

The car is starting to come together very nicely. I love it.

Thank you, you keep me building, because of your building. I'm 77 years old and building a 32 fiberglass ford 5w coupe,,440 mopar. I lov it. so thanks again

Love the Zep, love how you share with us, love Jamie's comments, love your work Ian, you are a real artist and artists don't always clean their brushes! ❤❤❤❤

The 1937 Zephyr is a real life, honest classic. It is a big, classy, and almost "In-your Face" design. Your choice of wheels and the slight lowered stance only enhance the appearance of the car. I always loved the front design, but this is one of the few cars of this era that I find the sedan version more attractive than the coupe. The Zephyr coupe is built on the same wheelbase, which results in a rear deck that appears to be out of proportion to the rest of the body. However, the resulting long trunk will comfortably hold 14 teenagers when sneaking into the drive-in. My older brother had a '37 coupe back in the late 1960s which he occasionally let me borrow for a weekend... The car drove like a dream with a smooth ride. The builder had used the original V-12 engine to restore another Lincoln and replaced it with a 1956 Olds out of a Super 88. The 240 HP V8 moved the car at a pretty good clip. The engine later developed a rod knock and he found a 1958 Pontiac and swapped the 4-barrel 370 engine to gain 45 horsepower.

Ian, hands down your builds are beautiful. You don't need a multi-million dollar shop to bulid cool rides. Keep doing it like our predecessors. I will own an Ian build someday

Look. Measure. Paper template. Cut. Fit. Grind. Fit. Weld. Measure. Grind. Weld. Grind. Look. Repeat. ...and THAT'S how you get the new headlight switch to fit in the dash - like it belongs. The car looks soooo fine. The original body lines with the chassis mods and drop suspensions - front and rear. Now "That's Entertainment". Thanks for sharing ! ! !

The enthusiasm you and Jamie bring to the build is infectious. The hard work (and tedium) of the suspension math are paid off with the installation. I like you don't resort to lasers for lining up the body parts. Just grab that 9 pound hammer and roll buddy roll. Thank you for another fun episode.

Wow man! This Zephyr is the embodiment of Art Deco on wheels! It's my absolute favourite thing in the universe!!! ❤❤❤❤

Greetings from sth Australia 🇦🇺 👍 🦘🐨🐪🪃🤘 I love how Ian makes complicated things easy to understand.Just the ingenious ways he builds & problem solving skills are off tap...Master Ian holds ship loads of knowledge in that cranium.keep on keeping it real guys.❤👍

I have been enjoying the progress on the Zephyr, but today when you mocked it up with the grille and hood, I really fell in love with it. Then you say you are putting it in storage for a while! No! Not now! One of the things that really grabbed me today was the awesome patina that the car has. I can’t imagine any paint job that could make it look better than the way it looks now! It would be a shame to mess with what Mother Nature has taken all these years to produce. Have a great weekend.

Well mister...I really like where this project is going. It's a Lincoln so is a 460 ci. in the future of this big girl. I love it

So happy that you got a Zephyr of your own. I loved what you did with Victor's. But I'm really looking forward to seeing this beautiful curvy piece of history coming alive with an engine and raising eyebrows at every show you cruise to. You know, your voice is so melodic and regular you could be a hypnotist. Total east field there.😊

One of the most beautiful and stylish front ends. The headlight glasses and grill are works of art. Can’t wait to see this car finished and VWagon too.

Only one word needed to describe this car and that's gangster ,thanks for taking us along on this adventure awesome build.

You are absolutely right, Ian. That is all the car needed it is wonderful to see it. I am happy to see you save it. I also totally agree that you don't need to chop it. Good job dude.

Not chopped is the right way to go. You are really helping the original design.

Aaaaw come on ,,,, a mild chop would look fantastic ,,, 2 inches ,max... i chopped a 39 Zeypher sedan a few years ago ,, it was voted north america Lincoln clubs car of the year a couple years ago, was the calender cover car too ,, other than the chop, it looked mostly stock ,, Mk 8 drivetrain ,power windows, m2 front end, 9in ,,,discs,,,,

Ian & Jamie, I must say, you guys are the most prolific and productive fabricators on KZread. You are building 4+ cars at the same time. And you're producing sometimes 4-5 shows a week! I remember dropping by the Glenoaks shop in the old days just to shoot the breeze and see what crazy concoction you were working on at the time. You have come a long way over the years and I am happy to see your passion for building is still there! By the way the Zepher is really taking shape! Have you thought about putting a Crown Vic engine and drive train in it? Can't wait to see what's next! John

I honestly can't say which project I'm looking forward to seeing finished the most. Really enjoying the process!!

The Lincoln looks good! Enjoying all the videos, I'm learning a lot at 70!😊

This car has been an amazing project. Thanks for sharing with us.

Great job on the video! As always, it perfectly complements the verbal descriptions of what and why. The car looks great! Can't wait to see it finished ... although it sounds like that will be a while.

I think eveyone enjoys.watching and learning. Keep it up

To heck with the critics and the complainers. Ian has been building custom cars for more than 30 years, he knows what he's doing. Thanks again love your work. This is coming from a 72-year-old car builder

Great job sir!😎

Love it! It looks so gangster with it's nose just sticking out the garage. Cool AF ❤🎉

Excellent luv it cheers 🥂 guys 😊

Congratulations you nailed it Ian, can’t wait to see the motor configuration? Super cool!

Long time fan ,thanks for your hard work

It is incredible that the body panels are so good. This is the car that paved the way for iconic 1939 and 40 Fords and Mercury's. What a cool front end!

Jamie you are rocking with the audio editing! My ears are very grateful.

Dude I like that as talented as u are ur still very humble... keep it up and ur channel will grow,, grow,, grow... I've been seeing ur work for some years now and u are a master at this stuff...

Between You and Victor, I have grown to appreciate - no… LOVE the Zephyr and its unique styling 😍

WOW Ian the love you and Jamie show for this car is amazing I am very confident this one is going to be @ Sema someday GREAT JOB both of you

Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. Am enjoying this build so much. You are correct less is more 👍🛞👍🛞

I appreciate all the help and telling us how it all comes together. Your a genius .

That's BADASS 100%😮❤

This is just another vote, yes you're correct, do not chop it. Looking great so far. I've been watching you for years, this is my first contribution. Keep up the good work.

So happy to see the progress on this. Very nice suspension upgrade. Epic. That fit like a hand in glove. Very exciting to see the progress

What an absolutely beautiful car. Love watching all of your content. Keep up the great work.

This has rapidly turned into one of my favorite Ian builds! My all time favorite was the Merc Eater Eaterer that is in Victor's capable hands! That was thee greatest grille of all time!!👍 Just a heads up, the RAT FINK REUNION is May 30 - June 1 in Utah!! Info on the web. Everything Ed Roth!

I'm wish there was a filter.so we could see you weld instead of that bright to look at.. great job.love the ole gal come back to life❤❤❤❤

I am a tinsmith and bought a 1937 ford when i was 29yrs old in 1989. It was trashed cut up an old gasser. Its now a nice street rod i just finnished up the second restore and many upgrades. Its a life long hobby. I like your work! Good job

In the early 70's I built two 37' Fords when everyone was looking for 32's and 34's. One coupe with a basically a 289 hi-perf Mustang engine and trans. And a sedan with a Chevy 350 w/ auto trans. This car might do well with a 351 Cleveland if budget allows. Regardless its an awesome build Ian. 👍😎

Looking forward to you completing this build. Good luck with the new videos. Missed your old shows but glad your back so we can see your expertise in action.. The wife does pretty good on the videos as long as she watches backing up. Lol. Take care.

I love watching you work Ian You were such a wild cave man. Using the biggest tools I've ever seen in my life. And everything always goes into place

It looks really good . Can't wait to see the final results.

outstanding!!!

I've been watching Ian for a long time I like them on full custom garage and I always wondered what happened to him and then I found this channel he's one of my favorite car builders he's awesome at what he does and there's actually a lot of professionals out there that can't do what he does and I like what he looks at a car would the customer there and you can tell the customer is getting nervous because of what Ian wants to do to their car but they end up loving it when he's done and I like when he build stuff for the old guy that Ian knows really well and every time he builds a car for him the old guy says he's going to sell it and that's the whole purpose of restoring the vehicle but when Ian gets done with it the old man loves it and wants to keep it I just like the way he looks at a car and sees what potential the car has a lot of people can't do that he's an amazing car builder awesome job he does every time I love the videos keep them coming

Afternoon here from the UK Looking forward to this👌

Ian you are a crazy genius. Your talent exceeds everyone.

So been racing dirt stock cars for over fourty years.I've have many wins multiple championships, a ton of stories for most of them. Since I was a small boy my father tells a story about his one and only win.. In a Lincoln Zypher. The original 12 cylinder was nit available so he installed a flat head six. During the race the voltage regulator came loose jammed the throttle wide open. He continued to race not backing off,just hold the car on track barely. To eventually take a win. The other drivers wanted to see the v12 post race. Only to see the little six list in the engine compartment. Had the throttle not gut stuck my dad's sure he'd never have won. My father's still alive, just turned 89.what a great story.. Just wanted to share. Great build choice.. I love all your projects.. Looking forward to seeing this one completed.. God bless.

Love the front end on that car.

That's a sweet find there. Dig your passion, vision, perseverance and discipline with all the work you do.

Great job Ian ,I'm watching very closely as i have a 39 chev master 4 door and will be copying you on my build. I'm going to do a chop and rake it down backwards to look like a sled . Keep up the great work love it.😅

I have since day one of finding your TV show mant years ago. Love how you just do things by hand. Or make something to get the job done. Keep on keeping on.

I’m glad you safely stored the grille while it was sitting outside. Saw a picture of one the other day with a double grille.

Beautiful looking car. 1937 Ford and Lincoln is one of my favorite for styling. The height is just perfect!

Loving the progress on the Lincoln Zephyr front suspension, you've done a great job Ian. Massaging the front panels and fenders and getting the grille in position takes it another step forwards , great job 👏 👍

Love the Zephyr!!! ❤❤❤ Every angle it looks sick!!

Loving adding this channel to my list. Presentation is so natural and welcoming and the Projects are pretty awesome too. Thanks for sharing your passion all the way over to Australia!
