You're doing a great job. I know how much work that is. Take your time, do a nice job and your results will pay off like they have.

Ken, your car looks great. I think the '37- '39 LZ Coupes are some of the most art deco cars made. I also have one, which I just started working on. I have completely taken it apart, it's in need of new floors. Thank you (Paul Bradley)! So much more work to do. I was thinking about which car color I should choose and when I saw yours' black as black can be, beautiful ! I think you made my choice.

I think we all want to see that mobil art finished.

That's a great looking car. Looks like a good start. I got floor pans from Paul Bradley and I also had to replace the sub rails which I had Dave Mayher at Precision Coachworks to make. I understand that Dave has passed away but they may have the pattern.

Chuck, that is a nice looking Zephyr, and having the "Wind Wings" is excellent as they are rare! I also got the floors for our '39 LZ Convertible Club Coupe from Paul Bradley however. we have not installed them yet. Vic
