CBoz Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) *Finally* starting into the restoration of my '38 K roadster. I was pulling the sidemounts off last night, and there was the LeBaron emblem, currently covered with overspray and buried way down in the passenger-side corner where you can't see it behind the sidemount. Since my car originally came with sidemounts, this tells me someone painted the body and put the emblem on before they knew what style front fenders were going on. As much as I would like to have the emblem where I can see it, I think I'll keep it there Edited January 25, 2018 by CBoz (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K8096 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 My coupe has it in the same place. I think it was originally nickel plated too, definitely not painted body color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBoz Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Doing some top-end diagnosis before we start pulling things apart: https://www.facebook.com/Ron.Earp/videos/10215521447099029/ Cold and hot compression numbers not bad, but definitely need to go in and do some rings / clean-up work.

alsancle Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Are you going full boat? I don't know if I have many/any more of those in me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The '66 Mustang (my first car) was my undergrad degree, the Zephyr was my masters, and this will be my PhD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
