Default 39 Zephyr Progress

Havent posted any new pictures in a while now. So for those of you that may be interested here is the latest pictures of my 39 Zephyr project. Still got some issues to work out with the seat cover but Lebaron Bonney is working with me on that. Hope to have it completed before years end.. We'll see I guess

Hey Ken. I think I spotted a fly speck at about 6:00 on your speedometer glass. LOL

Beautiful job.

Wow! One of my favorite all time years and body styles. Stunning. With all the blind spots in that one, you really do need extra mirrors!

Love the draft deflectors. Are the ones for the Zephyrs different from the Fords? I have one that is longer than the ones on my 39 std. and don't know what it fits.
