zephyrdave 24 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 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 post Share on other sites

Mssr. Bwatoe 195 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (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.. Edited March 6 by Mssr. Bwatoe (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites
zephyrdave 24 Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 Thanks for the reply, I suspected that might be the reason. I just got the heads installed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mssr. Bwatoe 195 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 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. Link to post Share on other sites
19tom40 97 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 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 post Share on other sites
zephyrdave 24 Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Here is the whole car. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
19tom40 97 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 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 post Share on other sites
zephyrdave 24 Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 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 post Share on other sites
19tom40 97 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Thank you for correcting me. I did not realize that the 39 and 40 grilles were so similar. Link to post Share on other sites
38ShortopConv. 28 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 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. Link to post Share on other sites
zephyrdave 24 Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 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 post Share on other sites
38ShortopConv. 28 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (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 by 38ShortopConv. (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites
zephyrdave 24 Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Yes, I know of your beautiful 38. The short top has a much better profile. Link to post Share on other sites
