The Jalopy Journal
'52 Stude. Three of us pooled our funds for a grand total of $15 and drug it home in '66. Had a lot of fun learning about cars the hard way and...
You guys are going to make me cry! My second car was a '57 Custom 300 many-door that I bought in '67. Had a bunch of '57's after that, hardtops...
:D:D:D Actually, back of the block changed in '55; bore changed in '56;)
Do a search for Cad info. here on the HAMB. There was a pretty thorough discussion covering the early motors a couple of years back...
Oh yeah, you've got to go to Reno at least once in your life! I attended for a bunch of years in the '80's and got to go back in '06 as crew on...
You should always listen to your Dad...
What I get to work on... see avatar
Beautiful, but a LOT of work. I've done some polishing on the museums SNJ and can attest to how boring and tedious it can become. And I'll...
As the owner of a 4" channeled 'A', I'd have to recommend against channeling it. Channeling one of these screws up everything from the floorboards...
'57 Fords, any non-chevy muscle cars, AC Cobras, GT40's. Basically anything that doesn't have a bow-tie on the hood...
wa...:)
Hadn't thought about this car for a long time. I've also got the magazine article around here somewhere. Sounds like it's about time that...
:eek: If I recall correctly, Mopar used to say that ALL you needed to do to get one to hook up was to use the Super Stock springs and a long...
If my memory is correct, there is also a small hole in the front of the cylinder that you insert a paper-clip or other wire into in order to...
Sounds like Buick is the answer, thanks guys! I would have grabbed it, but it was a long ways from home, located a few miles off a major highway...
And there's one of the reasons to use a long pinion snubber on a Mopar, controlling rear spring wrap...
Maybe Dodge Bros. But that's an overhead valve engine; looks to be aluminum crankcase with cast iron cylinder bank, mighty hi-tech for Dodge Bros....
I wish I was. Got to work Saturday; have 3 Mustangs to look after...
What K-member are you using? If it's a big block K-member I think I'd just bolt everything up and try it. Just MHO however...
What is this? Maybe a rare Henway truck?:confused: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Any guesses?
My '40 Ford has been in the family since 1941 and in my garage for the last 40 years. Course it's a long ways from being done, but someday, before...
I'd recommend that anyone remotely interested attend this show. The Russell Group aircraft are top quality stuff. Make it if you can!
Thanks guys! That's the type of input I was hoping for.
We had to have our Lab/Rotty put down on Valentines Day; so I know what everyone is talking about. Just as with any loss, it's real hard at first...
I would use the Cadillac flywheel, torus and members, and Cadillac bellhousing. It should bolt up to the dual range. I'm planning on running...
No pics handy, but I kind of grew up on John Deeres. Spent a lot of time as a kid on a '41 "H"; followed by a '42 "A" and a '54 "60" when I got...
I'm finally getting the time to scope out a few things on the Hydro swap I've got planned. Intent is to swap the single-range, crash-reverse Cad...
I see somebody finally set the record straight re the starter on an early Cad.:) Does everything else fit OK on the Cad to '35 swap? Firewall? I...
I've got 3 Optima's, a Red Top in my roadster for 7 yrs., a Marine version in our trailer for the last 2 years and a red Blem. in my daily driver...
SBD= Slow But Deadly:D Glad to see they got another one out of the drink. Now the REAL fun begins; restoration. And it'll smell real good when...
