1938 Lincoln Zephyr Chassis Overview

Scott’s Hotrods manufactures one of the most complete 1938 Lincoln Zephyr custom chassis available. Every chassis is built-to-order rather than pulled from a shelf as a one-size-fits-all frame, allowing your engine, transmission, suspension configuration, wheels, tires and desired ride height to become part of the chassis design from the beginning.

At the front, Scott’s proprietary Independent Front Suspension utilizes a heavy-duty one-piece 2″x4″x3/16″-wall crossmember, built-in anti-dive and massive 1-1/8″x1/4″-wall DOM Tubular Upper & Lower A-Arms. Out back, Scott’s proven 4-Bar suspension controls a Moser Ford 9-inch rear end using heavy-duty adjustable DOM link bars. The chassis itself features mandrel-bent 2″x4″ frame rails, an 8-point DOM tubular center crossmember and 100% TIG-welded construction.

Choose a Coilover Zephyr Chassis for excellent road manners, modern handling and a properly engineered static ride height, or choose the SuperSlam Lincoln Zephyr Chassis when your build demands an extreme, adjustable stance. From a refined Art Deco cruiser to a radical modern custom, Scott’s builds the chassis around the Zephyr you want to create.

Scott’s SuperSlam Lincoln Zephyr Chassis – Starting at $15,650

Want Your Lincoln Zephyr to Lay Rocker?

Scott’s Hotrods SuperSlam Lincoln Zephyr Chassis is engineered from the ground up specifically for air suspension, giving your custom Lincoln the ultra-low, ground-hugging stance its sweeping body lines were made for. Rather than treating airbags as an afterthought, the SuperSlam chassis is designed around the suspension travel, geometry and packaging necessary to achieve an extreme aired-out stance while maintaining a proper driving height when raised. Scott’s states its SuperSlam chassis is designed to lay frame front to back.

Combined with Scott’s Independent Front Suspension, rack & pinion steering, equal-length 4-Bar rear suspension and Moser Ford 9-inch, the SuperSlam transforms the Zephyr into a custom that can look absolutely radical sitting still and still be built to drive. Air it out and let those long Lincoln body lines hug the pavement. Raise it to driving height and hit the highway.

Art Deco styling. Ground-hugging stance. Modern suspension engineering. That’s a SuperSlam Zephyr.

Built Around Your Drivetrain

Your custom Zephyr shouldn’t be limited by the drivetrain it left the factory with. Scott’s can engineer your 1938 Lincoln Zephyr Chassis around everything from traditional Ford power to a modern 5.0L Coyote, Windsor, FE, Y-Block, LS, LT, HEMI or other custom drivetrain combination. Engine placement, transmission fitment, steering clearance, exhaust routing, suspension geometry and ride height are considered as part of the chassis design.

Whether you want traditional Ford heritage under the hood or modern high-horsepower performance, Scott’s built-to-order approach means the chassis is designed around your drivetrain and your vision—not the other way around.
