zephyrdave Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 After buying these heads and then polishing them, I became curious as to the purpose of the 2 stamped on both heads. Anybody know? There is also a circle H on one head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mssr. Bwatoe Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) The service replacement drivetrain parts are often cast or stamped b-2 ---But I suspect a machinist stamp from a prior re condition job..

zephyrdave Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 Thanks for the reply, I suspected that might be the reason. I just got the heads installed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19tom40 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 The engine looks great. I hope that you clear coated the heads and the machined surface where the intake seats to prevent corrosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19tom40 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Very nice car. I like the two tone and the colors that you chose. That looks like a 1940 grille and 1939 headlights. Do you have halogens to see better at night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephyrdave Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 The grill is 39, the car is 6 volts and I have original style bulbs. I just wear night vision goggles. It also has a Columbia 2 speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19tom40 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Thank you for correcting me. I did not realize that the 39 and 40 grilles were so similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38ShortopConv. Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hi Dave, sure is a nice car, what color is the engine bay? Would you like to show us some pics of your other beautiful 39 LZ [ convertible] build and tell us about the chassis and running gear? Cheers Roy.

zephyrdave Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hi Roy, the engine bay is the same color as the lower outer car body. I picked the colors from a fleet color book at NAPA. They don't have a name, just a number. The other car is a 38 convertible, you may not like the fact that it doesn't have the V12. I found the car with no engine. I made a completely new chassis for it and did a little customizing to the body. These are before and after pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38ShortopConv. Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) WOW! Love the custom " Coupe" Well done , very clever and talented, It certainly has a " Presence" and an Aura, especially the ground level side view. Thanks Dave. PS. as you are probably aware I have owned a factory stock standard 38 LZ convertible for just on 26 years. Mines an early Shortop model, no back seat. {Click on side pic to view larger picture if desired. } Cheers. Edited March 9, 2021 by 38ShortopConv.

zephyrdave Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Yes, I know of your beautiful 38. The short top has a much better profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
