The Jalopy Journal
Man Squirrel I've been wrestling with that since 2018 or so. I've lost interest, regained interest, changed the car up, will be changing it up...
I never did swap him cars, I kept mine. His old work buddy has his car now and definitely did right by it, which makes me happy.
Because it looks cool, that's why! Ultimately I ended up removing these and running a skinny set of torq thrusts up front as they aren't...
That's well said. I find myself without a lot of emotion regarding what I said. Times change, and change is the only constant. I bet people were...
Welcome. I keep getting this sinking feeling that none of these cars are going to be worth dick in 20 years. Electric cars, emissions regulations,...
Long overdue update: To start things off, the owner of this car passed last Spring. He was one of a kind and helped me a great deal with my car...
Long overdue update: Well, my buddy Gene passed last Spring and the engine and all his mountains of other cool shit went to his brother. We were...
Probably. I don't post much on the internet anywhere anymore. I get sick of all the arguing and keyboard warriors and people who don't know what...
I'm pretty partial to the Social D version of Maybellene. Chuck Berry's version is a classic. [MEDIA]
What he said. NOT the cheapest, but easily the best. You can dial them in to just about any combo. I struggled to find a PCV that would work well...
I was partial to Darnell, as well.
I've always identified with Arnie Cunningham. Awkward kid, smart, wanted to fit in but never really did, heavy interest in cars, partial to...
I've stil got a vintage Dixco dwell meter that belonged to my father, but haven't used it sisnce I went HEI on my old 68 Cadillac some years back.
[ATTACH] Built this model as a kid, and told myself I'd have a hotrod 55 some day.

It's worth it just to keep an actual message board alive. Everything else has moved to Facebook and I refuse to contributre to that bullshit site.
I don't remember a time when it wasn't a rare sight. Old car / cruising culture in my little neck of the woods consisted of street rods chasing...

Settle down now, no need for such talk!! :D
Damn that Willys is cool!!
Funny you say raise the rear, I've tried! I added new stock height Posie's super slides and I run shocks with helper springs to prevent the rear...
Curious as to the "fake gasser look" statement. Lots of pretty knowledgeable folks around here say it's spot on for the period and what was...
Dropped my 55 on my chest. Thought I was dead. If it wasn't for the tall cheater slicks stuffed under my car, it probably would have. Rocked off...
I wish more people would barter, honestly. I've done a lot of parts trading, it makes things easier.
Install a vacuum gauge and keep that reading as high as possible at all times. You'll learn a lot about how to squeeze every MPG out of an engine.
I always price my stuff to move. I don't have the patience for tire kickers and lookee loos, and not having to deal with that nonsense for weeks...
I don't have a good way of confirming that one way or the other with the engine running since the accelerator pump is mechanical and the...
Pretty much confirmed the VS isn’t getting it done. Switched to the lightest spring in the secondaries and it made a noticeable improvement down...
One of the few cars I'd give up my 55 for. I've been dreaming of building a T-Bolt clone.
My father died at 72. Up until he got sick, the man amazed me. I outweighed him by about 80 pounds and carried a lot more muscle. I could destroy...
