The Jalopy Journal

I blocked the engine exactly where I wanted it which was with the scoop buried deep in the cowl vent. Then I made a couple of front mounts from...
I’m thinking it’s not in RJ as I have a full set and can’t find it. My memory (can’t trust that thing anymore) was 100% sure it was in there....
Here is probably my favorite thing I will be putting in this car. Even though I already have an Olds rear end in there I will be taking it out and...
Yes, still have it. It needs a lot of patching just to get into rough condition.
Can anyone tell me which issue of Rodder Journal is the Hugh Tucker roadster featured in?…Thanks! (Silver Chevy drag roadster)
I would love to find these parts, repo or original. Any clues please let me know. [ATTACH]
brian….I got these from the H.A.M.B. Classifieds but check with gallopingringo on IG.
I have been lucky and found some good parts for the engine. I am kind of picky about how the engine is going to look. When I am at the Hot Rod...
rusty1…Great pics! Thanks guys for all the kind comments! This has been a very long term build, the last pictures I posted are from 7 Years ago. I...
Johnny….I too really like the aluminum filler panel in the grill but seeing the blown Hemi through the grill just wins out for me.
Rear wheels are these 15x10 magnesium Halibrands. I have had these wheels since the mid 80’s , they were on the Orange Plus Willys when I bought...
I will be running a 57 Olds rear end.I have a few third members with ratio options. I will have to buy some good axles in the future. I narrowed...

That car is awesome! I followed that build a while back. Pretty sure I met him at a Bakersfield swap meet a few years ago.
Marty, Ha! I thought it was a 34 when I bought it. It is close enough so I will make it work.
Later one, 41 I think. 37,38,39 and not sure about 40 had more drop……..I think.
Before I sold my Willys I removed the front brakes and wheels. I put JFZ disc brakes and skinny slot mags on and kept the magnesium Halibrand...
I decided to use a Willys front axle. I converted it to cross spring, stock it has 2 parallel leaf springs. I chose it because I liked the light...
I punched 160 louvers in the deck lid saving a space for my SCROUNGERS (NZ) club plaque. To get the competition look I was after I didn't want...
Eventually the Willys was sold and I now had a spot in my garage to build the 34. I dug out a bunch of parts I had been saving and started to get...
The 34 coupe mock up was dismantled and the body sat in the back of my garage for quite a few years waiting its turn. The chop was not finished. I...
Then all work stopped on the 34 when I had an opportunity to buy a very solid 37 Willys sedan. I. Already had a Willys coupe body with no floor...
Long time ago but this picture tells me I had it mocked up like this for a while. Picture is from the book about the Choppers CC called The...
