The Jalopy Journal
Good clean fun! I may use that bouncing technique this Winter if there's enough snow.
That cut-and-shut orange sports car has Volvo 1800 rear sheetmetal, and that engine could be Volvo too. It's an interesting piece, thanks for the...
Yes, I DID say not to park on the grass any more.
Thank you for the history lesson! It simply doesn't get better than an account from someone who was there. So much has passed in drag racing since...
I see that Pop Lamb and Jack Lentz both made the event. The NJTA had quite a turnout. btt
It's a real pleasure to see how much was going on with the NJTA at that time. btt
Fantastic pics! btt
This is great info! btt
"btt" means "back to the top," since replying to a post, even with just a "wow" or "ok" puts the whole thread back onto the first page, where more...
Not a huge two-tone fan, but I LOVE the wide aluminum side trim on '62 Olds Starfires. They seem to reduce the bulk and boxiness of the profile,...
C'MON RAY, QUIT FOOLING AROUND, GET BACK TO WORK! Just kidding, actually I did get a chuckle out of that pic; it reminds me of the Driver Safety...
Guy's got to be half a bubble off to try that.
It's a real kick to see these old photos! I never saw the car with spotlights before. Good going helping Ray get his pics onto the HAMB.

Well, ain't that cool?! It was a lot of fun rereading this thread.
Studebaker used Dana/Spicer 23 and 44 in the '50s and '60s. I would expect the 23 under Champions and six cylinder cars. As for brakes and backing...
When this happened to my old, worn 400M It was both the pushrod and lifter, so the oil system went from pressurized to splash. My assumption was...
Watching this build thread. Expecting the unexpected.
While a lot of cold starts and short trips will do that, it could also be a bad fuel pump diaphragm. And that's also something that can give you...

Always loved The Model Garage! My favorite moment in every story: When Gus pauses, tamps tobacco into his pipe and calmly reflects on the facts....
It's one of two snow cruisers for Admiral Byrd. [MEDIA]
Very cool. Love that sign!
Great pics!
I agree with Fedman. The first time I saw this on another thread I thought it was a Packard being modified into a pickup. It looks great!
You guys are making the voting extra tough this tech week! The tool is simple but effective, who could ask for more?
It's too bad this isn't still available. It would fulfill most of your criteria:...
That car has always reminded me of a smaller, cooler-looking '64-'65 Chevelle. Just amazing tech for the early '60s. I had an old Motor Trend with...
Triumph had a V8 in the Stag. A 3 liter, around 183ci. The Mercedes 3.5 was about 213ci.
Move the seat up a few notches. Install a lighter throttle return spring. Done.
