Re: Tell us what your working on !
Just finished this week installing a new windshield in my '38 LZ conv coupe. First one
only lasted 73 years! I'ave been hooked on HV12 LZ and Contientals since '65. Picked up a '48 LC coupe in Aug. last year and just about closing up engine. Pulled in- take and pan to get rid of mud and sludge. Pretty clean, engine looks to be rebuilt to '42 specs (2-15/16 bore) I know ...WOW. On a good day these things only put out about 120HP. Some one left (tray) out of pan and the crank wacked the float to pcs. Still have ign. to do , rebuild carb, go over radiator, repair gas tank, and not to mention ,complete brake system! Well, as that other Larry said; GIT ER DONE! ! ! |

Re: Tell us what your working on !
Got a 3 door heater ready to go in but can figure out the measurements and or location. Don't want to put more holes in then needed. Anyone have good info. on this? I have some small paper diagrams but not enough to make sense of.

Correcting the "professional" brake job done on the '40 brakes of my '36 coupe back in '63.
Notice the lack of surface contact between shoe and drum; one of the major reasons, I suspect, why folks don't believe these "antique" brakes have stopping power. Shoes will need to be re-arced for full contact. |

Oh I forgot. The 46 CJ2A is sitting there begging for some attention too. It might have to go to help pay for the 37.

Re: Tell us what your working on !
41 Continental I have had since 74, working on it off and on since, almost there finally!!! Repolishing the heads and intake, then install the engine, and finish wiring the engine and dash. I have done everything at home with the exception of the upholstery and top. It's is as original as I could get it including the color, interior and top.
