Aluminum Heads

[zephyrdave]

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.

Those are beautiful!

The service replacement drivetrain parts are often cast or stamped b-2 ---But 

I suspect a machinist stamp from a prior re condition job..

Thanks for the reply, I suspected that might be the reason. I just got the heads installed. 

[Mssr. Bwatoe]

Oh My!! That is the bomb!!  Awesome look...I bet it will be a good runner, 

thanks for posting

Lets  see the whole car..

Please.

The engine looks great. I hope that you clear coated the heads and the machined surface where the intake seats to prevent corrosion.

Here is the whole car. 

[19tom40]

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?

[zephyrdave]

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. 

[19tom40]

Thank you for correcting me. I did not realize that the 39 and 40 grilles were so similar.

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]

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.

[38ShortopConv.]

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.

Yes, I know of your beautiful 38. The short top has a much better profile.
