The Jalopy Journal
We were going on a family vacation in an OT car that I had, wife, 3 kids and dog. It was typical Saturday summertime traffic along the Cape Cod...
What a nice example of late 40s-early 50s style! Beautiful.
Glad you're healing quickly, sounds like the progress is partly from the medical team you have but mostly on your part. Hope you're all good soon.
What an amazing transformation, the car is beautiful! I love peeking in at the skillset displayed by talented metal shapers. I am at the stage...
Thank you for the responses.
After the seal has been cut to fit the windshield opening, what do you use to bond it so that it is relatively waterproof?
Not very common but very cool.
The photo is very cool. When you focus on just the lines of the Caddy, it’s pure art.
Any updates?
I don't have any advice on dealing with insurance, but am glad you came out of this with relatively minor injuries. Make sure that the next day or...
What a beautiful '40! There are many great '40 colors but Mandarin Maroon is my favorite, so much that I used it on my '41.
Yeah, the car sounds bitchin'. If you were to look up "hot rod" in the dictionary, this car should be there as a description.
What are the interior plans and the drivetrain?
The car is perfect! The stance, color and chop all contribute to a timeless classic.

Looks great. It’s surprising what can be put together with extra parts that need some purpose in life. A while ago, I was considering doing a T...
Three beauties for sure. I remember the 4 door from the Rodder's Journal (how I miss it) feature and the pistachio sedan is killer. See updates...
This one definitely checks all the boxes. It's a hardcore hot rod built to very high levels, grabs your attention right away and just doesn't let...
I have a question. Looking at the front end/spring photos, the shackles are parallel with the floor. I don't think I've ever seen them that way,...
yes=14 Not sure yet how many we would need for them to do a run, trying to gauge interest to start the conversation.
TTT
I agree, it's awesome!
Your Merc has a great stance. Can you share what's been done to the suspension?
I admit to being a total novice, especially in this group. But I did rebuild the trans in my A coupe and it served me well and I'm about to...
[ATTACH] My old coupe with my sedan. Regular seller's remorse about selling the coupe.
The coupe is becoming a beauty. Can’t believe how fast you rip through each part of the build, more please.
I have a '39 Mercury sedan that I am putting a 283 into. The engine will be connected to the original 3 speed tranny via a Cragar aluminum...
Nice, nice car with the subdued Dove grey paint, shortened bumper irons, great stance. Oh yeah!
My coupe had a ‘40 dash in it.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
