The Jalopy Journal
Anyone that went to Bonneville this past August had to drive through "Great Salt Lake" at the end of road. Initially it was only about 3" deep...
Cool, thanks.
I was recently told that the new synthetic type brake fluid does not effect paint. Is that so? I've lost quite a bit of paint around my brake...
Cheers to the club that put this on. Considering it was the first one and VERY well attended they did a good job. I had a blast. Won one, lost...
I'll be there running the RPU (I hope).
But did you notice what was sitting beside him in the metric, with the mini skirt not quite below the buns, Victoria's Secret undies, a middi top,...
Ben DeLozier, Ben D on the HAMB, is a first class car mover. I used him to move a truck from TX to CA. He was reasonable, and on time as promised....
Eff One? Here's one on the salt.
This one was built at home using a couple of steel saw horses made from scrap pipe and 1 x 2 steel tube for the horizontal piece. 1/2" carriage...
Yes, from the salt in 2003, a nice sedan with an in-liner with an automatic. It was a smooth quiet rod, just clean. Didn't even have duals or a...
Adding a 4th person to the group this year. Adding the RPU this year too, will have it as well as the panel this time. Gettin' anxious now.
Scott, Doing Wendover from San Jose in 8 hours will be a new land speed record. Should be more like 12 hours. I did Wendover to Sonora in 10...
Excellent tech article, well done. Those parts sure look familiar.
Thanks for the reply ZZFord. I really wonder why Summit continues to handle Ram clutches with the bad reputation I have been hearing about them....
Anyone else have problems with a Ram brand clutch, as sold by Summit? I have one that is a diaphragm type. I have had to extend the release rod...
Again, thanks to all who replied. The nearest engine machine shop that does manifolds is 50 miles from me in Modesto, CA. The price is $85. I will...
Thanks for all the replies. I have used the rubber end gaskets and the last two times I used just the RTV. Same results. I also used the expensive...
Has anyone else had a problem with an Edelbrock manifold being warped? I bought a new RPM Airgap in '03 during construction, started using it in...
Thanks. Nahh, it doesn't fold up. Have to take it off, but that would be fairly quick to do.
Built a home-grown top frame with 5/8" tube, 1/4 x 1 cold roll, misc. stainless and hot roll. Got it back from the canvas man today. Did a two...
I ordered the cab extended, 2" in the doors and 4" in the quarters. I'm 6'-2" and it fits fine. I tried getting in a stock '28. After I got in,...
Thanks. Uhh, I'll get right on that, Roadstar.
Hi Bert, In order to keep the bed (rear tub) fully usable with a kicked up frame I had to move it up level with the rear of the cab. Worked out...
Just finished a totally home-grown roadster top framework. The wood header was made from clear dry fir. I had taken measurements from a...
Brian, Just a thought. How about using small straps stitched to the top on one end, and velcro fasteners for the other end? The straps would...
Canary shouldn't be a problem Brian. Now, "beaver" might be a different story.
I'm still wondering if there is a way to improve the situation. Many years ago I had an Austin Healy 4-seater with (of course) a rag top on it....
I'll second Roothawg's motion, ugly.
Brian, The top looks great. What kind of noise has increased with the new top? Is there a way to improve it? I'm getting ready to build the...
Happy birthday Ben. Hope to see you on the salt again this year.
