The Jalopy Journal
I have a 392 hemi motor project, in parts. >>>>NOTE: Cragar blower stuff already sold, gone, so please don't ask if I still have it.<<<< Just...
PLEASE USE CAPS SO I CAN HEAR YOU. :D I've done plenty of stuff like that too, but trying to get better as I get older. I even try to use plugs...
Damn, that is a sweet car, love it. Clean and elegant bad ass. Honestly, that background is interesting, but too goofy for a car that nice....
But, sounds like you own his car which is much nicer. So what # is his car registered under, your car's #. How did he get his car registered...
You'll never pry that out of their cold dead hands. I bet you that's a weekend full of multiple 6-packs of cherished memories right there.
Must have been a hell of a good camera to get that shot all the way over from Oakland.
Agree. Is this a magic trick? What happened to the old factory blue on the block?
Surprising, didn't really think you were even into trucks, especially a work truck like that. Although that is definitely a super cool one....
Man Bob, sucks about the hit on the hood like that. Took out one hell of a bit chunk of paint. A little beyond just some touch up paint. Cool...
When are you going to be doing this trip? I'd look for a car here in the hamb classifieds, on the LA Craigslist and ebay and just try to buy...
Man, that looks like a crime against nature. Whoever did that is a metal criminal. About the only good thing about it that I can see is that I...
I'm not much of a Chevy guy myself. But that is pretty cool for the late 50's vintage for sure and looks to be pretty original. But, being...
So, I rebuilt the brakes on my 3/4 ton truck years ago and they have performed pretty decently ever since. Except one issue. That is that when I...
Interesting, but then surprisingly boring after about 2-1/2 seconds. I find it more interesting holding actual, real old parts and thinking about...
One of these years I'm going to make it to this gig.
Man, that looks like it was a really nice trailer. Hope you get it back.
Probably wanted the trailer and will dump the car, maybe even at the scrap yard for some fast no questions asked cash. Check there for the car...
"The motor ran good before I fixed it" Oh man, that sounds familiar. Replace the word "motor" with about whatever and you can name any number of...
Sad news, but thank you for letting us know. Condolences to you and best of luck carrying on his memory with the truck project. As others have...
Haha, Metalshapes holiday BBQ action must be rolling good today. :D Yes, yes, you're right of course. The V8 option would more fun to drive...
Drop a sweet high torque electric drivetrain in that baby and embarrass the hell out of a few tough asses at the lights. The problem with most...
The F1 is a better Napa ride. But, that red car (MG?) would make a sweet little SF area retro urban car for somebody. Looks like it is in great...
Has been a nice show in the past. I'll see if I can make it up again this year. I caught the first one and last year, but missed the 2nd one.
Looks pretty good, except for the crack. At least the semis didn't run you over and make that the least of your problems. Hard to believe you...
Don't worry. I sometimes talk to myself too.
He actually used a real name from someone from a real town who had died? Wow, they are getting pretty detailed in their scams now. At least...
Never met him, but just seeing him on TV, he has always come off to me as a super nice guy and someone who really cares about what he is doing and...
Probably going on a car with no hood or side panels.
Man, that's a sweet looking ride. Glad you both are safe and best of luck getting it back in shape.
You definitely nailed it on the first half. I have 2 old trucks, one driving and registered, one a project in the garage and registered as...
