The Jalopy Journal
I picked up a '60 F100 last Saturday. It has a 351W that feels pretty weak and smokes a good bit. I'd rather find a replacement than take the...
I went to look at a '56 Chevy 4 wheel drive truck Sunday. I expected it to be a hacked up piece of junk on an 80s 4x4 chassis, figuring if the...
I'm looking for a new daily for my wife, and I think I've narrowed it down to a Tahoe or Expedition. I want something with enough power to pull...
Last night her fuel cap light came on, and it immediately stalled. She couldn't get it to start again. I told her to remove the cap and try again...
For some unknown reason the previous owner removed the brake light switch. Does anyone have a good picture of how the switch installs? I need to...
Will the original running board brackets work with the S10 frame, or do most make new brackets? I'm wondering if it's worth my time to drill out...
I have no brake lights. I imagine it's the switch. Where is it? Nothing at the pedal or master cylinder. It's a '62 Buick Special wagon.
Is there anything I could buy locally that works as well as the Eastwood kit to clean and seal my fuel tank? I'd like to get the job done...
half nekkid. I finally got a car that moves under it's own power. Plan to start with bare metal and do it right. Found a few surprises, but it's...
This weekend I will finish stripping my Bel Air to bare metal. I want to be able to drive it while I attack the areas that need help. Would I want...
of my HAMB calendar. What's next? Torturing stray cats and bible burning? Oh well. The pages will make nice garage art.
hard to reach areas? For example, the doors in my '54 pu each have 1 rust through spot smaller than a dime on the outer skin. I will cut out and...
sheetmetal? Specifically the panel below the tail lights. I've searched and haven't found anything. Thanks.
I thought these were worth sharing. She thinks they were taken when they were stationed in Africa. Dated 1958. My Dad says he remembers being...
I'm putting my '54 Chevy PU on an S10 chassis. My cousin has a freshly built 500 Cad engine he was going to use in his airboat, but decided to buy...
I took better pictures this morning. I'm open to ideas. The interior is grey and silver, so I was thinking a dark metallic grey and green flake...
My '54 PU is a long way from being on the road, so I picked this up to play with. It'll be fun for camping trips and hauling the boat to the lake....
I bought this abrasive blaster I bought a few $3 bags of blasting sand at Home Depot, but saw that it says not to use sand in it. It says to...
Does anyone have any details on what was involved in using the '56? Chevy bumpers. Were they cut to fit or did they fit stock? What was involved...
I'm thinking of getting an abrasive blaster to strip my truck. I'm considering this one. Is it worth messing with? I thought about paying to...
I've been wanting one of these trucks for years, and finally found the right one. He even delivered it for free. The only rust is a dime size spot...
I'm looking at a 75 Bonnie 750. I haven't heard much about the 750. Are they the oil in frame design? I've heard to stay away from those. Is the...
I'm considering one and would like to see what they can look like. Thanks
The same ones that Eastwood sells for $29.99 for 4, HF has a pack of 8 for $4.99. Item # 44751. I picked up 2 packs. Hopefully I can sneak away...
I found a '47 Fleetwood today sitting in a guys yard out in the middle of nowhere. Said he'd take a grand for it. Everything is on the car and in...
My wife's car has a painted pinstripe that is coming off in places. How hard would it be to remove this without damaging the paint underneath? Any...
My 62 C10 floats and shakes over 45mph. I'd rather swap to a later model suspension rather than rebuild it. What years will bolt in? I'd like to...
[img] and bought this..... [img] [img] My wife thinks I'm crazy, but I missed having a 350 and 4 speed. It needs some work, but is fairly...
Makes a great stool: [img] or a stand for painting wheels [img] I know it's weak, but it's all I have. Maybe I'll actually work on my car...
