Well, I'm finally done with weekend travels (for a while anyway) so I hope we can get back on the Zephyr this Saturday. I've decided to reinstall the original rear end while we update the Columbia. The Columbia was working, when it was removed from a '39 Zephyr Coupe, but I'd rather go completely through it (even if it’s not necessary) before we install it...

Saturday Play Time is Back
![]() Yes, after a several week hiatus we were back in the garage working on the Zephyr. Mike came over and the two of us got the rear end back in the car and got the backing plates, brakes, rear shocks (thanks again to Bill Wzorek) all buttoned up. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do some more tomorrow like put the drums, wheels and tires on. After that all that's left to do is adjust and bleed the brakes. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Well, its day two of the reassembled '39 Zephyr being back on the road and I still can't get over how nice she drives
![]() ![]() Yesterday, after all the guys left, I put the console and other assorted interior pieces back together and took her for a nice long drive. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now all I have left to do on the LZ is a little bodywork, paint, interior, top, install the new wiring harness etc., gee, I'm almost done... ![]()

Yup, its tough keeping four acres trimmed when you have a choice between cuttin' grass and playin' with Flatheads... I'll take the latter every time.

Vic:
Wipers NO PROBLEM ![]() Had a girl that worked for us years ago. The wipers on her car quit so she tied a piece of Bailing twine,one end to one wiper then through the vent window across the dash out the other vent window the to the other wiper. In the rain she would move the twine back & forth actuating the wipers. Funny thing is it worked great. A little foot note: She got pulled over by the police on day. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Thanks Earl, I appreciate that. If you happen to find a nice pair of '38 LZ Hubcaps, I'm looking for two to put on our '39 CS. Vic

Ken I do have the Columbia but, even though I know it was in working order when I got it, I decided to go through it and freshen it up before installing it.
