As some of you read my previous post about the mud Daubers clogging some oil galleys in my V12. Im happy to say that its all back together and running great. Have logged 125 miles so far this week with zero problems. Heres a few pics with some friends cars out for lunch.

That's excellent Ken. Looks like LB did a beautiful job on your upholstery as well.

Stunning Ken absolutely stunning!!!!
Cheers

That is an absolutely magnificent automobile!!

Glad the bugs didn't keep you off the road too long. The goal is to have my lincoln out on the road again this weekend too if the stars all align.

Very nice Ken, that interior is first rate. I work on HVAC equipment and mud wasps are always plugging up gas orifices and pilots, they seem to be more attracted to propane than N.G.

Amazing car!

You done very well!

tony starr · 04-27-2017, 06:30 PM

Can't beat an LZ.
Truly a design masterpiece.

It's got my vote for a Dearborn winner!

I had one of these back in 55 down in Key west. It was in a junk yard. We pulleed the V12 and put in an 85 HP Ford, The car had a Columbia and we could run up to mimai on Liberty to party. The trunk was large enough for us to sleep in. Top speed was around 75 in OD, but it wouldn't pull the 7mile bridge, had to kick it out. Fun car, don't know what happened to it??.

mhsprecher · 04-27-2017, 09:55 PM

That is a great lineup of coupes! Two LZ coupes together, a rare sight. I am so glad it all worked out. That has to be one of the oddest situations I have heard of with an engine.

mike42 · 04-28-2017, 02:01 AM

I love the lines of that '39 ......... nice ride Ken !!!!!!

dwick01 · 04-28-2017, 06:07 AM

Hey Ken,
They sure got IT right with this design ! Wonder why they didn't stick with a winner and continue that style ?

Glad that you've kept it stock as that adds to the beauty IMO
