The Jalopy Journal
Well, here's what I've been up to the last few months. Built this 1958 BSA nearly from scratch, made the frame, tins, exhaust and everything...
heh, this would have been a lot easier Autorama weekend, I'm sure. I just bought a Triumph motorcycle engine and a frame in Kalamazoo MI. If I...
It's that one that has a bolt in center section like a 9", can't remember what the damn thing is called. Are they worth a damn and can ya get...
So when I was 8, my old man decided to build me a go cart. He found some plans for a sprint car, and reduced them to about 3/5 scale or so. This...
Ack! Since I took the truck to Detroit as a mockup nearly a year ago, I haven't touched it. Been totally swamped with customer projects, and I...
Picked up the tins (well, aluminums actually) this morning from the painter, got it all assembled and took some pics. Those of you that missed...
Here's an old sprint car we're restoring for a guy. This has been a three year project to date, and the end is finally in sight. It's been in the...
Thought I'd throw up some pics of the new seat design I was working on. My old man was after me to make some seats with a rounded back, so I came...
I'm sorry guys, I HATE what's it worth posts. I have this 4bbl intake and carb off a 55 Dodge Super Red Ram Hemi. I am fairly convinced that it's...
Rick from Southern Culture on the Skids is giving away a Danelectro striped by our good friend Tom Van Nortwick. Tom is in my opinion of of the...
Anybody got any clue how much you can resurface the heads on a 270 Dodge hemi?? I cannot locate an answer anyplace. That is all. :)
So I need to figure out this Hemi thing for my pickup. One thing I'm stuck on is carburation. I will use 3 or 4 of something, no interest in...
Well, after spending the weekend in Detroit, I have a new dillema. Between beers and Jager shots, I looked at some pretty bitchen hotrods. And now...
What a weekend. We just got done driving all night to get home from our first Autorama. We had an absolute blast. From meeting cool people to...
Today was setup day at Detroit Autorama.. Got some pretty cool pics, I"m drunk so they may be all of Gene Winfield and I...I couldn't imagine a...
I don't think i've slept in two weeks. I'm not even taking a finished car, just my truck mocked up. But ya know how it goes, the more done the...
I became an Alliance member mainly to support this place, not for the discounts. We're a distributor for a lot of the usuals, So-Cal, P&J, Drake,...
Silly wife - no computer for you! She finally makes her own username.....so she posts her introduction under mine. Oh well.........
OK, this was sorta just gone over a month or so ago, but I'm back to square one. I need at least 4 1/2" of drop to get under my hairpins. Per a...
This may be the dumbest question ever. I am making baffles for my "driveshaft" headers. I was thinking of packing them to make the noise a...
I ordered some lower doorskins and door bottoms for my 34 pickup last week from a reputable vendor. They weren't bargin basement cheap, but...
I've had both seats more or less done for a while, but had been majorly stuck on edging them until yesterday. I screwed myself when I put so many...
I know lots of places have em, but want to support those that support this place! Anyone?
Ok, so I think I spelled "avaliable" wrong. When did SBC aluminum pumps hit the street more or less affordable?? Really what I'm asking is if I...
Here's a few pictures of the seat I'm in process of designing. Needless to say it's not finished, so ignore the Clecos and lack of edging. And the...
It's like an ASE test question only different. Fabricator A is building some bucket seats in a style that harks back to vintage aircraft...
Well, I haven't gotten shit done lately, been finishing up my new house and a second shop for painting and assembly. But my dad has been...
So I was standing in Sheetz the other day waiting 15 mintues for some damn nachos that take 15 seconds to put cheese on, and was thumbing through...
We're in Roanoke - the only city in VA that can claim it's own giant neon Star on the mountain! Woohoo! And BTW - this is Mrs. Hillbillyhell...
