The Jalopy Journal
That would explain the lip and the pointed end.
No, but it has some of the same parts. The large phallic portion on the right side is what I can't figure out.
I know the top of it is a slide hammer or bearing tool, a Proto 4056, but I can't find anything like the bottom of it. Solid metal and about a...
I would tend to believe it's from when Foyt ran an occasional Cup race, also. If the maker can't help, maybe the Stapleton42 youtube channel...
Looks like someone put old aluminum window screen in that one. The made in China crap people at the flea market sell some cheap strainers that...
Maybe run a little lower air pressure in the tire, so it flexes before the rim does. When I ran my '60 Pontiac daily the '79 Buick rims on the...
always easier to start high and come down, than to start low and come up.
Like I said I didn't have anything handy to measure or I'd have laid it out in the picture but looks like around one inch.
That was what I was thinking too, something small that probably no one bothers to repair anymore.
Found this at the flea market the other day. Reminds me of a flathead valve spring compressor but it's much smaller and more delicate. I didn't...
lol yes I drove that road over the hill to North Adams once, and up the other side. Not sure I'd want to tow a small trailer let alone a car. I...
Car sold, so it no longer matters. If the last guy had read the first post, the Pontiac has sentimental interest. The Terraplane is a rusty POS...
Two door sedan. No grille, no motor (I do have the intake and carb somewhere), no front bumper, missing one front fender. Other fender and hood...
The biggest problem with doing it myself is I f'ed up my back somehow, just standing it gets sore and pain meds don't do much for it. Literally...
Years ago I had a nice HAMB-friendly Pontiac as my first car and more or less ruined it, I still have what's left of it but it's beyond fixing....
Shell is bare, in fact somebody bondo'ed a piece of tin into the Chevrolet stamp in it. It was a flea market grab, I figured I would find out...
You want a different grille for it, I have a couple early Chevy ones, a '17-ish, and a '23. Plus a couple of ??? roadster or touring doors no one...
The only yard I know of that's not private is still there in part because of lawsuits. Somebody got hurt and sued and the guy basically shut it...
All the trim on that Desoto is sellable. Bumpers, grille, headlight eyebrows, etc. I sawed the quarters off a 2-door when a yard I was in was...
57-back have under floor mount pedals, 58 I think is the transition year to hanging pedals. They may be exactly the same as a Chevy given the...
anybody posted that picture of the '64 Pontiac wagon that was buried on the beach yet? I think that's what this thread is for.
I'd swap my Riviera or most anything else for another 49-52 Chevy either Fleetline or hardtop, or I'd swap most anything I have for a '59 Pontiac...
I think you could make Chevy pedals work, they both hang and the master is in the same place. The under-dash part is similar with the column...
Will make a nice cruiser. Too nice to part out.
What will make the guy with the Coronet in the first post really sick is .. in 2012 I went through the Pull-A-Part in Columbia SC and there was...
Couple months ago I bought part of a Redline truck at the flea market for a whopping 50 cents. Turns out it's part of one that if all there is a...
A lot easier to find 40 guys with $1500 each than one guy with $45,000 he can afford to park long enough to resell these. Makes the hacked up...
What is it, it's a score, I would have bought it on the spot.
In fact some cars had purple shades as a factory option in the late 50s and early 60s.
This. There's a guy in Oklahoma who's been doing this about five years, he makes more money from the video revenue than the cars. Enough that in...
