The Jalopy Journal
Run it as is, in "survivor" mode. It's been there 60 years. Or, make them wall hangers, get a new pair of boards and replicate it. I wouldn't mess...
It's a time capsule gem! Great lines and stance. Really wishing Don Montgomery was still with us. He was an early Pasadena guy that had a vast...
Neat! Hopefully, the "re-debut" might inspire some of the younger generation like it did 50 years ago. Would be cool if they were able to get it...
Wow, just seeing this. How awful, just as you've got retirement and a new shop build on the horizon. I'm 63 and a couple years from retirement but...
That's a great score and can be built into a very respectable Hot Rod. Agree on building up a new chassis over the Winter. When it's done, strip...
If Martin Bros. etc. are too expensive or don't have time for a small job; in addition to Happydaze suggestion to a planishing hammer, look into...
^^^ X2. With those Eckold prices you'll need to be going into parts production runs, unless you're charging $200 hr. for custom work or prototype...
Find someone locally (private party racer, rod shop, etc) that has an enclosed car trailer that you could hire to haul the car. If you use an open...
@MsPearl, C'mon, show us a current teaser pic. The membership here has been forthcoming with pics, video and info.
[ATTACH] Packard's are elegant and special. Known for their high quality and their engines were no exception as Highlander points out. The engine...
Oh so true! I flipped on the TV last week and happened to catch a bit of a car auction (Mecum?). A full Custom 49/50 Merc rolled across and went...
Wow, love that car. One of the all time greatest tri-five Customs. Paging @Moriarity...
I'm with Shift Wizard. A 1/2" is too much to grind or file. Just drill a new hole with a 3/8 or 1/2 bit, then open up the remaining 'tooth'...
Nice! Checks all the boxes for me 55 Chevy post all the right build components celebrating with plenty of cold beer Looks as though they're...
Terrible news. Such a wealth of knowledge and a great contributor to our hobby. My condolences to family and friends.
Terrible news. My condolences to his family and friends. Will really miss his participation and contributions here.
Fantastic find! Looks like you'll be doing someone's never finished dream justice with your build components!
I'd guess only one section of the wheel is pitted because it spent a considerable amount of time standing upright (minus a tire) in the mud....
[ATTACH] I'd wanted a 55 Chevy since first seeing 2 Lane Blacktop and American Graffiti. I bought my first car in 1975 at age 15. $400 of hard...
Car nicknames. I get the usual stuff up to puddle jumper. But never fully understood: 'Short'. "That's a sharp short". 'Flivver'. Name for an...
We need pictures to reply with accurate comments. Did you call your friend out on it? What's your take on the setup vs. his?
Chuck up a socket in your cordless impact and take off all the shackle and front leaf mount nuts, then tap the front bolt half way out. Loosen up...
Build a second set of crib towers. Drive the car forward up on car ramps. Jack up the rear and place on crib towers. Jack under each A arm,...
Tell them to pound sand and sue you. Also let them know if they ding your credit report, you'll hold them liable in court. There's no way they...
Seeing that it's a 210 Sedan, not likely it was returned to stock. If it were a Conv., definitely. A hardtop, quite possibly. Would be a lot of...
Large on back, small logo on the front Black is my first choice, but why not also offer all shirts in black, white, and a couple of colors? Prefer...
Yep, Poplar St. San Diego.
Awesome. Love his work!
I call Photoshop. Why can we see light between the bottom of the drivers side cowl and the top block? If the pic is legit, I wouldn't trust it...
Look at Bob Lowry's example posted. For his 60k car, he pays an extra $55 year for cherished salvage. That's less than $5 per month. There's...
