The Jalopy Journal
It sounds like you've got a real mess on your hands. I'd start over. If you want the look of original wiring, you can get a harness from places...
"Here I come to save the day! That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!"
A childhood of Saturday morning cartoons left some serious imprints on my brain. Here's one that has stuck, although the lesson may not have......
Florida is perfect, if your idea of perfect is 95-100 and 95% humidity. :p
It's not a matter of trust, it's a matter of comfort. I could, but I don't want to...
There is that. I'm battling rust on the chrome front end, and polishing the aluminum w/s frame every week down here.
That's what I'd like to do, but my friends here (the guys with the two coupes) are already questioning my manhood for even thinking of that. ;)
When we came down to Sarasota last fall we brought the '29 with us, in our enclosed trailer. I don't like trailering a car, for lots of reasons,...

It's a 283 in a 3500lb car with a 'glide. Adding a 4bbl carb to that combo won't be noticeable, performance wise. One has to be realistic. My...
Unless you're going to use better heads, a more aggressive cam, increase compression, and open the exhaust, the original 2bbl will perform just...
They have to have lots and lots of Armor-All to get ready for a car show. It's an art form, really.
One of these is not like the others...:cool:
A couple months ago there was a new Lambo parked next to me at the UTC Cars and Coffee, who's owner was having kids set in his car. I gave him...
Disposable income. More $$$, higher price toys. Brain power and common sense does NOT increase with income however.
Well, I don't have a photo of it up close, but it's not unusual, they crank open. This car is an original steel body, the green one is glass and...
Definitely aging out. I rather like looking at exotics, and I appreciate that young guys (and women) are into cars AT ALL, so I try not to think...
Maybe I'm getting old, but it seems to me that the proliferation of burn out videos, street takeovers, and general automotive mayhem on all the...
No, that's the row of new Corvettes, where the owners all wear jeans shorts and white New Balance shoes...;)
Stock Plymouth frame along with its original springs. Don't try to re-invent the wheel.
My pals Mel, Scott and I classed up Cars and Coffee at UTC last Saturday. The only hot rods there out of over 500 cars. Topped off the morning...
Very slick, as usual. You continue to make my work look bad...;) (edit: I just had to go out and look at the trunk of my roadster to see if I...
Who wore it better? ;)
And another thing... It may not be in the front end at all. My roadster developed a "tire shake" that seemed to be a front tire out of balance....
He took the dead perch out, so without that it has to have a Panhard bar. Or, put the dead perch back in, one or the other.
With a cross steer set up, you HAVE to have a Panhard bar. With a side steer, you're not pushing the axle side to side turning the wheels, and...
Really great photos. Nice to see since I can't make this year.
There is no such thing as a "small block" Olds or Pontiac. They are the same size externally. The Pontiac you show in the photo looks like it's...
Wealth is relative. When one accepts that, and doesn't get angry that someone else has more wealth, and likewise isn't smug, and accepts those...
Seriously, do you have anything good to say, about anything on here? Jeezus...
