The Jalopy Journal
Look up the name Karl Kleve. The guy would buy nice cars, then drive them onto one of the various lots he owned in the Cincinnati area. Was a...
Great show, and near my home, but I'm missing it this year. Working pit crew for a 24 hours of lemons team at nelson ledges. However, to anyone...
Got a few measurements from my Father-in-law's coupe today. Its mostly stock with no custom bodywork, so these numbers should be close: Outer...
From personal experience, one panic stop in a car with drum brakes isn't a problem at all. Its repeated useage in a short time. When I had an...
My father-in-law has a 30 chev coupe, and I'll be seeing him over Easter Sunday. If noone else can get the numbers to you, send me a diagram of...
Got fire extinguishers by both garage doors, and the entry door to the house. Also, another powder extinguisher on the workbench, and a halon...
I'd vote dropped axle and discs. A clip may be cheaper to start with, but as said above, by the time you get done, you'll have more than $700 in...
Good luck man. I've been cutting/fitting boxing plates with an angle grinder this past week, and end up wearing goggles, a respirator (dust...
Are you referring to the "full metal kit car" thread? I've been through it (heck, posted in it a bit), but wanted to get an opinion on my plan,...
Now that I'm in the midst of boxing the 28's frame, I'm looking ahead to getting the body in shape. Its a 4 door, and the lower wood subframe...
On mine, I welded a washer and a bolt to the underside of top rail of the frame. I used a bolt, and a nut on the top side of the frame to hold...
Nope no magnets near it. I've got the regulator set to just a smidge north of 20 CFH, and the mix is 75% Argon / 25% CO2. Shouldn't be any...
Thanks - Its not bad enough to tear down - once it gets some paint on it, and a body sitting on top of it, it probably won't be noticeable. Most...
Attempting to box a frame for the first time, and having some issues which can hopefully be corrected. Here's the basic background. Its a 28...
Got my 28 frame back from the sandblaster this past week, and have cut some of the boxing plates - been prepping to weld them in, and hope to...
I'm generaly too poor to risk damaging anything by throwing tools or parts. I either don't let it bother me, or I bottle it up (not good)......
The only thing I've collected from national Trails is mud on my O/T cars from their overflow lot. Management is kind enough to let us...
Is it a hydraulic roller cam engine? IIRC, Ford used steel distributor gears on the 85-up roller engines, and iron distributor gears on the...
On frustrating days in the garage, I've considered turning my 28 Chevy four door into a tub, but I haven't been willing to follow through...yet.
I can pretty much vouch for there not being any trim there - when i got my 28 out of the farm it was on, the interior trim was all there, but...
The only difference I can think of would be the front crossmember on the 29 probably won't go back as far as on the 28, due to the inline-6, but...
Thanks everyone - so are you brandon spade, or is that another brandon? :) I'll try to get a hold of Geers sometime this week - I'm in Eastgate,...
I've taken my 28 Chevy down to the bare chassis, and am looking for someone in the Cincinnati area who can either media blast it or chemically...
Ghost28, thanks for the advice - Judgin by my mockups, and some measuring, I think I can get it to fit without setting the firewall back, but...
I got my 1928 chassis stripped down, just need to find someone to blast it in the area ( and come up with the money for that ) . Today, I'm...
Wow, thats weird, I'dve thought they'd be the same, since its on the same chassis. By the way, thanks for sharing all those photos in the vaious...
Don't know about 29, but my 28 chassis just has slotted bolt holes in the back. Ghost28: Just a quick measurement, looks like the body is about...
To give you some perspective, the platform it is on is 8 feet long. I'm going out to continue pulling the suspension from the frame once I'm...
Count me in :)
Anyone going to the Milford cruise-in on Friday night, also?
