The Jalopy Journal
I have a pile of 394 leftovers like ac pump, ps pump, and brackets. I need to get them out of my garage.
I converted my 63 Chevy wagon to drum drum dual master a couple years ago using a MC from a BelAir that was just a couple years older. Worked...
I got a ton of work done this weekend, and I bought myself a new toy! A shrinker/stretcher combo. The reason I needed it was to re-create this...
Yeah man, everytime I see a 53-54 chevy I wish I still had my 54 :'( I haven't noticed anything other than the inside metal panel on the...
I did some more work on the wagon the last couple weeks. The radiator was still the one from the straight six, and now that she has a V8, it had a...
UPDATE: It's in New Haven Connecticut now! The owner was at Detroit Autorama two weeks ago and we just missed each other, but we talked on the...
OK I'll look for that, it makes sense because if you were able to push the glass out (accidentally) while the tailgate was down it would be...
I had no idea there was a safety switch! Googling...
Reverse lights, like seat belts and hazard flashers, were optional upgrades in 63 :) I scored an NOS reverse light package and upgraded! Since...
When I got the air manifold it came with a 7 switch control, so I had to run that from the front seat back to the manifold. To get it through the...
I wasn't totally happy with my new airbag setup though. There were so many connections with all those sections of pipe (so more places for it to...
I got some nice powdercoated headers, and updated the brake master to a drum/drum from a later model Bel Air... like 65 or 6 or 7. Worked great...
Great work man!
I do love a straight six, but I happened have a built 350 sitting in the garage and it was time to upgrade. The stovebolt went home with straight...
@1pickup It's ridiculous what they go for, but I guess that's what the market will bear as they say. But yeah, I love this car and I'm so glad you...
I also took the opportunity to upgrade my headlights to use relays. Because of the way GM designed the wiring in these cars (and really a lot of...
I made some electrical updates when I put the new compressors in. I added a Ford style solenoid to the firewall to serve as a master connection...
Yeah, it's insane. If you find one, I'm interesrted! I believe that 61-64 pontiacs are the same.
I got a dual-compressor wiring kit (4ga welding wire!) and re-routed some of the wiring. I added a coupling so I could take the cradle out without...
I figured I could fit 'em if I could lay it out flat. I took the whole setup apart and played around with the valves to see if I could get it all...
I pulled out the airbag setup and the cargo door and got the seat in. Fortunately the cargo door supplied a couple of parts that didn't come with...
So now I have a seat. Sort of. Enough of a seat. But now there's another problem. The air tank and valves occupy the space where the seat goes....
Yesssss! Bellflowers are in the future for sure.
[IMG] It's been a minute since I posted anything... I've been busy with life. Got divorced in 2013, raised kids, got re-married last year, lived...
Where are you at with this? Looks like it's been a couple of years, how about some new pics!
I have a couple of AC compressors and PS pumps and assorted other 394 brackets I need gone. Yours for free, come and get them.
SOLD
SOLD Four wheels with the GM 65 stamp and NT stamp. Tires hold air but I wouldn't use them as daily drivers. In good original shape, come and get...
Passenger side trim for a 1964 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88. I believe this is for a 4 door. The fender spears would be the same but I'm not sure the...
This trim piece goes on the rear quarter panel of a 1964 Dynamic 88. I believe it's a 4 door and probably for the passenger side but compare to...
