The Jalopy Journal
I finally started my trailer project this week. I'm taking off the skin and am going to shorten it from 16ft to 10ft, so it'll fit in my yard....
goodfellow - Very cool, love the Sun equipment and the other vintage stuff you've got in there. Where did you find all those Sun testers?
Thanks for posting, I like the quiz part. My new favorite term: informal symmetry.
Maccumstom- Can you tell me what type and color that paint is, I really like it! The Monster- Very cool of you to do this, inspiring to see...
Incredible, love it. Thought I heard Mel Blanc too, and possibly Larry Fine? At the end of a long ride, or an oil change, I will envision one of...
I think it looks great, how much chrome going back on?
You guys jump all over each other to thank military vets and can't give this guy a break? Welcome to the HAMB, Dave!
No pics of the motor?
Subscribed also. My 64 Comet needs the exact same spots that you're doing. Thanks for this post.

That is a cool setup and a great looking truck!

You said you just got it back on the road, how long did it sit? Did you recently fill up the gas tank (junk in the tank clogging something in...
Great job, more pics as you go please.
I'm amazed at the quality of work, care, and authenticity that hot-rodders in Norway, Sweden, and even some kids in Japan put into their customs...
I feel for ya, I would have jumped at it too based on the pictures.
You changed the thermostat before you left seems to be a clue. Was there a reason for that or precaution? Absolutely sure you put it in...
The whole "4 doors are gay" thing is gay. Great looking car. If it were mine I would be more anxious to get fender skirts on it than lose the...
Early sixties Buick Electras, deuce and a quarter, 225 in. long. [IMG]
4 1/2 " angle grinder + safety glasses. Breaker bar. Torque wrench. These are the first three tools I'd say I can't live without.
Beautiful car. Hey, at least the motor went with honor, on the road. I agree you should go with another one or at least a Ford. Good luck.
I love old snapshots of people with their stock cars, the 'pride in ownership' shots. Nobody intentionally poses next to their modern cars like...
