The Jalopy Journal
I've been looking at '40 Fords lately and you can buy a lot of nice drivers right now for not much money. But on the flip side, "Not HAMB...
An update and good news! Couple years back I posted that Hank's Pontiac had a engine fire and he decided to take the insurance money. Well a few...
Thought I would take one more chance and found this is from the “Big Book of Barris” I agreed with you, he had to been pretty upset to drive all...
My Danbury Mint diecast and a copy of the book. Sorry for the crappy pictures. It is buried in the showcase and too hard to get out.[ATTACH]...
Looks like @AndersF beat me to it. Cool @Moriarity, besides that picture I was thinking there was another one somewhere too. Maybe here but could...
I believe it is in one of the Barris' books from the same time period that Andy Southard published his. I am thinking "Barris Customs of the...
Besides on here, the only place I would see him in person is at CCR. Jim was the type of person that instantly made you feel like you had been...
Wow, It saddens me to hear this. I always enjoyed talking to him at the CCR and will miss his presence there in the future. Our custom car family...
That's me, it made racking leaves that year more enjoyable...although it took me longer as I kept looking back at it!
That was a couple years ago, it's now running a '59 Imperial grille. You never know, I might swap back, I miss those Buick headlights. [ATTACH]
maybe between the two of us, one of us will remember!
I always remember afterwards. I will try and remember this year. But, I will be driving this... [ATTACH]
[ATTACH]Like a bad penny..... the '60 will be there again.
I was thinking the same thing, is it CCR worthy now? Mark, you got me wondering if my '60 could pull this off too. Maybe I need to stop by the...
I have been enjoying them and been making me a bit nostalgic. Caused me to pull out my copies of "Garage", "Barracuda" and "Rolls and Pleats"...
That was suppose to have been the story with "The Oriental", but as we know that wasn't true after all.
I'm probably wrong, but I was thinking Model Car Science or Car Model did one of their features where they told you what parts to use to duplicate...
Can't wait now to see it at the 2023 Revival in person. Like mentioned above, couldn't have found a better home to go to. Congrats!
I always have trouble with this and have to put the stipulation of "what if Hot Rods and customs were banned and I could only have an original...
I also just wanted to take a moment and thank @OG lil E for all his efforts on this thread over the years. I was only able to contribute to a...
Be there again with the '60, haven't missed one yet. I always tell Kevin I would step aside if he ever needs a spot for a fresh car. But, I would...
They are just about perfect. I've always said that a '40 Ford is the only car I could own as a 100% original and be just as happy with it as I...
Now that this is back up on page one, I still wouldn't mind this one that you featured a few weeks back. give it a nice stance and drive the...
"You wasted HOW MUCH on that stupid Chevy?, I thought you get wiser as you got older!"
For me personally, I will only run an old plaque from one of my Dad's clubs. Currently, I run one from a club that was called the "Rapid Tappets."...
After seeing this thread, I went on O'Brien's website. I have plaques for all the clubs my Dad was in except for one. The Corsairs of Cincy, OH....
Been hundreds of cool '40's on here, but just something about this one make me keep looking at the details. Love the slicks, tach on the dash,...
Thank you, poor thing almost looks stock when parked in a sea of chopped Mercs and hammered Shoeboxes.
This year didn't disappoint, the quality of the customs was better than ever. The heat did make it hard to enjoy at times, I barely took any...
I haven't missed one yet and people are probably tired of seeing it, but the '60 will be there again. Just haven't decided skinny whites and...
