I've seen a customized Galaxie a couple of times today.....it went by again when I stopped for lunch in Post. I'm just wondering if it is a...
It's great to see there is still interest in this thread! I agree with what John Arial said (3 years ago) about how much fun it was when I had...
Brian, too bad you're all the way over there by Indy. I might be able to make the 2 hour drive your way sometime this month and see if I can help...
Ummm, is there a piece of wire holding that plate monstrosity to the rearend? Just, ummm....wow...fucking WOW! Tim D.
But it runs really cool.............. Tim D.
Bob, you're reading it backwards....the bottom pic is what he started with.......unless you're saying you like it that way. Tim D.
I thought it was a very well organized event! Easy to find and get into, lots of parking and the Red Shirt Army did an awesome job as well - very...
Massive is good, but there comes a point where it is unuseable! Kerry Pinkerton (of Imperial Wheeling Machines fame) built a wheel with a 65"...
I-beams truly suck for torsional rigidity. They are stiff, but don't deal well with torsion, which is exactly what you are applying when side...
Yes, we're back online and apparently didn't lose anything! Thanks for the help Dan! Tim D.
I was hoping Lori got pics of me making that big rear section of the fender....no luck. The good news is Johnny managed to make something out of...
That's kinda funny.....I'm probably not gonna make it even though I live in Rantoul. I'll be in Alabama until sometime Saturday. Tim D.
The HF shear works pretty darn well! The HF Kett copy has been working okay for me too. I see a lot of recommendations for Wiss snips.....Wiss...
I don't know about the dead blow shaping mallets, but there isn't a lot of volume difference between a baseball bat hammer and the UHMW heads or...
That happens when you put passenger side dipstick manifolds on a driver side dipstick block. I made a short custom dipstick for my O/T truck, but...
Hit the junkyards and the HAMB classifieds? That's where I got mine......and then removed a set from the '42 pickup I bought to install discs - go...
With skins, a body and a set of doors for reference, you should have plenty of information to build a new set of doors. Go for it! Tim D.
Spindles are basically the same from '37-48 (round back vs. square back and all that, but the spindle "pins" are the same) and '37-'39 (at least)...
That's look sweet with some '49 Studebaker headlight bezels with the TS lnse already there. Since it looks like it has marker lights for turn...
Seems some folks think Ford only made engines in the US. I'm pretty sure there was an Aussie made "Clevor" 302..........................I don't...
You can probably get away with using more than one gauge on an LM7806 circuit, as they are rated for 1.5A. There are more parts involved (thus...
Since there are no numbers on the frame, you're willing to jump through hoops and you have a title for the coupester body, why not just get a new...
Check this post: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=317173 The conveyor bearing used in that post should be pretty darn close to...
Mine are boys, I don't want to have car trouble every 28 days! Tim D.
I dig that bead roller, Rick! Tim D.
Sounds like a great project! You can send what's left of that cool ass humpback sheetmetal to me since you're not using it! Tim D.
Looks kinda like a '59 Impala rearended a 49 Studebaker and pushed it into a '57 Lincoln. The results were awesome! I'm not a huge fan of the...
Happened to see a Posie's ad tonight that made me think of this thread. Anyone seen the new shackles for their quarter-elliptic kit? Looks a lot...
Check out the Laclede's Landing area of St. Louis for some good old cobblestone streets................ok, maybe the good part is a stretch. Tim D.
