1939 Lincoln Zephyr Teardown 

Greetings from Pembroke Dock to all at Bello’s Kustoms & all those followers of the Great Fabricator Mike Bellos

The start of another amazing journey. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Mike , Big Steve. Keepin it real!. Good to see Carapila back at work

Apart from the craftsmanship of Mike Bello, I always admire your dedication and hardwork Mr. camera guy! Always filming the good stuff. 🎥 🏆

Some people see damage…. Squint real hard and see a gorgeous beauty…. Keep up the great work….😊

Thanks Big Steve for the video shoot!

Looking forward to seeing this brought back to life, Mike.

IMHO initial disassembly is one of the most exciting parts of a build. Discovering what is right and what is wrong powers the planning process. One could almost see your thinking as you dug into this thing.

According to my calculations, this is gonna be rad af!

This build is going to be enjoyable for me to watch!

It's amazing that back in the day they used fine thread hardware on everything and that 80 years later they weren't welded together with rust

It would be awesome to know the history of a great old car like this, who owed it, where it came from, etc.

Hey Mike instead of an LS3 why not put a warmed over Coyote in it, that way it would be a Ford in a Ford.

Thanks for showing the dirty part of building custom cars. Its not all glitz and glamor, ya need to get your hands dirty. Nice job keeping it real, cheers!

Hey…what a find! It’s crazy cars were made out of wood back then and the glove box was actually pristine. So hard to find a complete one without it being torn up. Can’t wait to see what you do to it! The break down of a car is definitely a fun part! Big Steve showing us his power pushing the Zephyr 💪🏻

Locoshones left the Zephyr looking like those nutshells under the cuete seat.

I enjoy watching Mike do his magic with these sweet car when he is done with them

I love watching a new project getting started !!

Great to get to see the teardown which to me is part of building it back . Hopefully I get to see all of this from start to the first new drive down the street on the test run . It's going to be an interesting one Mike and we know you can do it . Watching from south west Idaho .

Hi from Australia, Bought a couple of T shirts, fantastic quality!

Another one that was bought online , and shipped 2,000 miles . That's okay , but the buyer bought it depending on the pics to be the real deal . The seller lied his ass off ...again . The good part is Bellos will save a car that would have been scrap in another 15 years . Great work again .

Big Steve putting in work!! New project outstanding boys!!

Of course you can do it, Mike just make sure you do a video of the operation for all of us to watch.

The Zephyr has some great styling, I can't wait to see Mike's artistry that will mahe this an amazing ride, tu sabes!❤😊

Good to see Carapila otra ves suelte con ese proyecto y combertible me lo imajino cuando este terminado tremendo sueltes atodos.

Best way to start MY BIRTHDAY Sunday; Bello’s and breakfast tacos. Dale shine, vatos. ❤❤❤

Nice teardown. Looking forward to seeing this work take shape.

What a neat project. I am amazed at the amount of wood in the rear seat area. I guess the limited production of the Zephyr convertible made more sense to support that area with wood. Go, Bud!

This is gonna be da Boom. Bello's is da Bomb. Thanks for the pro editing + sound too!

SOME OF THE BEST CUSTOMIZERS I'VE SEEN TO DATE AND I'VE SEEN A LOT! 👍

By far, You get the most respect from me. You not only have the most equipment you also know how to use it.

You see the car dissappear into the dark behind the roller door knowing it will be the last time it looks like that. Now Mike works the magic.

Saludos from Austin TX! Such a cool car, the zephyr will turn out killer I am sure. I was wondering when you would find the mouse house!

Big Mike helpin out on the push😅 Another great project

Dang. My model A would love that Zephyr banjo..

Always help out the homie. Don't forget to always press the " like " button & " subscribe " $$$$$$$😅😅

I agree Mike, the only time any car should be on a trailer is when it's broken down. Trailer queens are a waste of a vehicle. There should be no trophies at car shows then that would stop those glory hunters who only build them for shows.

You are an artist who is looking at someone elses art work turned puzzle who in turn looks at it and turns into Your ark work/puzzle. This way when it goes back together it will have the true function it was meant to have and not so much of the artwork it had when it was first made. You truly are a Master At Your Craft. I Thank You for that

Yo Locochon That`s some nice work Glad to La Ganga Doing it Play safe El Viejo Loco En El Yucatan

Awesome Keep them coming, "you Know...What you half to do is" lol

Its gonna be nice to watch this build.

Now watching it again this time on my HD TV cold beer & Snacks Big Steve, Mike & Carapilla makes for great TV on a Sunday Afternoon 🛠️

Looking forward to watching a artist in motion on another great build by the master....Keep them coming Mike

Buenas ! ultra-rare Zephyr Convertible...looks pretty solid...never really modified or Hot-Rodded - wow. got to be very few even when new, you had to be a High-Roller Gangsta to own that new then. Like to see this one done as the Cream-color '40 Merc - for me your Most Beautiful Build

As already said hard to imagine they were STILL using wood in '39. I do love these Zephyr projects - it's gonna be the shit! (I bet that rear end sold already!)

I "liked" it, even though I haven't watched it yet.

. . The dreamin stage is the best, just before ya start changin things up. Thank you for doing your page, I know it's inspiring a lot of young ones. . .😎

I did a 36 Chevy 5 window coupe, every one asked me if I’m going to use the OG motor and transmission, I said no because I like to go fast and look cool . I’m running a 406 small block Chevy with a TKO 5 speed transmission with a 55 Chevy posi reared . Would like to share the picture don’t know how on this. Much love and respect for what you do

A new day with a new dream to manifest into reality. Great work gentlemen, look forward to seeing how things progress. Cheers!

Tha k you Mike and Steve, I really enjoy the videos.

You know whatever Mike does it’ll be mint.

That bucket 🪣 is why they call them old cars a Bucket of bolts 😮😮😅😅.

Awesome work

It's good 👍🏿 to see 👀. Mr Carripillia. Mr. C had ganas.😅

Can't wait to see where this goes! Love the start of a new project. 👊❤️🤙

Thanks for sharing, always interesting!

Another Bellos Baby, Greetings from Spain.

I see you use Kroil for those stubborn nuts and flathead screws. Salud! I found that company back in the 90s, bought a can, and never used anything else since. It's 'the sh!t'. Looking forward to seeing you work your magic on this Zephyr, Mike.

Always remember, What you want to do!! Have a plan man, make clean clear pinky ring!!! Thanks Mike!

Sunday mornin Mike ... always a good time ...

Don Carapila , Saludos Maestro

Can't wait for the next episode ...awesome work....👍

"We're gonna fix it cuz you couldn't!" I love that quote!!!! With you're permition I'm gonna steal that quote!!! 🤭

Planking boat hulls only use flat headed fasteners

PURO LOVE HOMIE, FOR THESE CARRITOS. CANT WAIT TO SEE SOME OF YOUR TRICKS, FOR THIS LOVELY LADY. SO THAT SHE LAYS DOWN, ON THE GROUD! KEEP DROPING THE NEW VIDEO!!!! ADIOS....

Part 1 of a monumental task. Go for it ,Mike [and crew]

glad to see another project started

Hi mike ,now this is going to be a project ...but as always i know your the man for this job ....im so glad this did not end up being crushed ....its going to be a fab restoration cant wait for the end result

"Culture Vulture"..... Beautiful!

Very KOOL Mike Definitely going to be a good Build

I already know that carruchita is going to look good! It’s in good hands!!!

you're the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We always can't wait till the next video. Enjoyed Sam. Seems to be a good worker. You like us get excited about what you do. We are in North Carolina and work our buts off everyday and love it!

Mike, YOU will make it beautiful! What color will you choose?

Hi Mike,looking forward to seeing you starting this fine ride, keep customizing your way because your style is so cool and classic that there is a great comfort to older guys like me. Fantastic work you are truly one of the best ,l always look forward to your videos. Stay cool be safe.

I just love how those old cars get dismanteld. Those allmost 90 year old screws allmost all if them get los. Try that on a 80's car. No chance. Can't wait to see the next film mike. I've started saving money for a trip next year to cali and visit you ( keeping in mind i am building my gmc truck that cost a lot of chees 💲💲💲💲😂).

Y'lnow...I always end up wanting more when you come to the end of the episodes. Can you set me up a 'Couch Heckler Bench' up against the wall in there, somewheres, so's I can come camp out and watch youse guys all day? I'll bring my own lunch!

A restorer would be bagging and tagging like mad during this phase. Every scrap would be stored as a future template. I am guessing that this would be happening off camera with the possible exception of those parts that will never return to this vehicle. Not the most exciting footage but critical for some things.

always great work. learn a lot from you

Very interesting to see how they put those old cars together, its cool to save such a great looking shape. When cars were like women, curves and looks.

Nice job Mike.

Dude straight up called you a culture vulture🤣 💯

Need more about the 1939. You working on 😊

Bello, you’re an INSPIRATION! I love the way you operate, your positive energy, I secretly take with me to work the’Bello Process’ and it helps make my assignments a whole lot easier and enjoyable. Thank you Bello for sharing and thank you Bello’s Film Crew for capturing the style of Bello’s artistry.

Thank you

No job is too trivial for Mike. Much respect.

This is going to be a good one!

Enjoyed the video today Mike. Any chance you could show a little more about the vachume cylinders ?

"Back in the day", rich people spent a fortune on these things and 1/2 of it is wood!

It’s just WOW !

I would just like to know how many zyphers you worked on in your life my first time seeing a convertible I think. It should be a nice build I hope it's a complete build.

I never realized that they had so much wood in them 😂😂 I’m sure that this will be another great project Mike 😎👨🏻‍🎨

Hello 😊, un très beau projet ❤

somebody would buy those parts you took off

Thank you for another great video.

Got a question. When you see a lot of rust how do you go about deciding what way you are going to tackle it? Do you fallow back to good metal or do you just replace it it? I’m just curious. Thanks for letting enjoy your work.

Your right vintage is cool but my 49 Merc is going to get 351 w ,It's your fault my stroker flathead is being taken out so I can drive the car anyplace and not come home on trailer . Thanks for your insperation to move on from the flathead .

DOPE , ALL WAYS.

🍻

🤙👍🤘🤟😎🙋‍♂️
