The Jalopy Journal
Been there, done that. And yes, it did cost me a few days in the hospital. Bit of a shock for a 10 year old!
How's that for legs!!!!
No.....That's Linda Vaughn !!! :rolleyes:
Found this early Monogram "Deuce roadster" stuffed in a box in the back bedroom! Built back when I was in junior high and this model was new on...
That's a "babe" in anyone's book !!
The problem is after all of the clean-up efforts, the bodies may be to valuable to go to market.
I work in both 1/16 and 1/8. More bodies in both scales would be great!!
I'm in! I have a half finished big deuce that could use a coupe body!
C'mon, Bobby! We are all grown ups here! The fact that you have made it this far speaks volumes!
Thanks, Speedy! I thought that would work! And the fact that the car won't be raced makes it even more probable that I can do this.
BlownFuel, The car will have a 3-speed transmission from a 55 Chevy car with a modified vintage Fenton shifter on it. The transmission can be...
Thanks Butch!! I thought it would work, especially since I don't plan to flog the set up, only to use it to get off and on the trailer. I'm...
Bob, I already have Don involved with this project. I'm sure he will have an opinion on this!
No, I believe in the reasoning behind the 6 point cages and most of the other safety rules the No Hot Rods Anymore has come up with. There was a...
Yes I was proposing just a single U-joint, yoke to yoke. If this isn't reasonable, how short a driveshaft can I get away with? The car is going...
This car is awesome! Lots of skill here!
Thanks Russco!
Let me begin by letting it be known that I am no where near the smartest guy in the room. Having said that, let's begin. I am in the planning...
I am building a copy of a 100" or so early gas dragster, and I'm using an A front end. I had planned to use the wishbone, split and drilled. Do...
DANG!! I didn't want to leave the wrong impression! YES I was talking about the Willys......
I'm gathering parts for an early shorty gas dragster recreation. Somewhere around 61-66,maybe a bit later. K88 style. I was planning on...
I rode in one of these miserable little bitches back and forth to high school for a couple of years. It was an uncomfortable tin can with a...
Didn't spend a lot of time on it. 1/8 is kind of intimidating, you want to add as much detail as you can, but I don't have the talent for it.
Christmas Tree, Thanks! About when did the 18" spoke mags start showing up? I had a crack at a pair this weekend at the swap meet, but passed as...
Thanks a bunch, Rooman !! I copied the 1964 set to use as reference. Although I don't plan to ever put this car on the track I want to build a...
I have a question for the math folks. I'm starting a full size project, welding up my own vintage front engined dragster. I would like to...
Anyone got an NHRA rulebook, say 1962 through maybe 1966? I could buy, or copy?
I'm afraid my spindles are beyond repair. I'm soaking everything in PB Blaster before I get out the impact, but from what I see so far, the...
That will make my caster "cast in stone" so to speak, correct? I would set the caster with the frame mount that I use to mount the radius rod I...
