The Jalopy Journal
Love to see Graham Paige mentioned!!! Most people don't even know they existed outside of the Graham Hollywood era. My dad and I have a 1928...
Ford highbeam jewel. It is very very tiny and sounds like what you are looking for....
That was 52 F1 is done well. The upside down teeth and modified headlights and different bezels were very subtle. The 3rd brakelight with STOP...
Here is the before and after of the seat bracket. I still have to make the floor bracket for the seat and tracks. With the brackets the seat...
Thanks for the replies guys. 48 Merc, that's exactly what I was wanting to see! That's awesome man. Looks like two L pieces bolted together...
Here are two pictures of the seat (upside down). I am thinking I would cut the seat frame on the yellow line and weld a bracket (U channel or...
I'm building a 1952 Ford F1 that is chopped 3.5 inches. I've figured the ideal seat height is 8 inches from the floor. I have a second row bench...
Also have this one from way back... [IMG]
When did it start for me? Tough one to name the time and place, since it's been a part of my entire life. Here's a picture of the earliest I can...
I don't claim to be an expert on this stuff but that doesn't look like a posi unit to me. Posi units have indentations on the back of the unit...
My 30 Model A has a 302 with a FMX 3 on the tree tranny.
Wow, I've never seen a mustang like that. Is that a trainer type? That's a cool addition to the logbook.
I bought a kit from chassis engineering inc but I don't have everything fully put together yet. For one. The springs mounts are underneath the...
I'll probably put it on my firewall. I picked up another plate that is labelled as "Fire Control System" that I want to use with a guard switch...
Here's a few more pictures. In a few weeks I'll be back home and have a chance to take a whole bunch more. These were just ones I had already....
P51? Looks like a Texan T6. P51's only had one set of gauges upfront, their backseat is either a fuel tank or a makeshift seat.
Yes I do remember that post. That was pretty cool. I've picked up a few aviation plates similar to this as well. Not sure where I'm going to...
I found this at a local scrap yard yesterday. It came off a 1952 Ford F1 firewall, one of the corners fell apart when the tag came off, but the...
Here's a pic of mine. I've got the deluxe trim for it and a HAMB unfriendly LS1 w/ T56 6 Speed (although it's going to have stock rims, colour,...
I actually just picked up a 04 GTO LS1 and T56 (M12) tranny for my 1952 Ford F1. I felt it was the best choice for me. It's a little wide and I...
What type of metal is the window trim on the deluxe cabs? It seems like stainless steel, but does anyone know exactly what it is. I found a guy...
Easy answer is to trade somebody, keep the pig and trade the housing. The gears in them are pretty bad, but the housing is desirable.
I've wondered the same thing. The 29 fenders come down further than a 30. I would think that the 29 fenders have a higher low pressure area...
wow, that is an amazing tech post, thanks for the link.
I find I get consumed by different hobbies and interests at different times. I like to get to the point of being extremely knowledgeable and...
My 1952 Ford F1 is chopped 3.5 inches and I'm trying to plan the windshield for it. It's a little more complicated since it has a stainless trim...
A car I have in my garage 1928 Graham Paige Victoria. Also saw a Moon in storage, not sure how rare it is. Here are both.
The front clip was put in an inch forward of stock. Right now the fenders are just hanging on place sitting on top of paint cans, and nothing is...
I started the project by pulling a free cab out of a swamp. Got it home, and slowly found better pieces to use at swapmeets and on ebay. As it...
Here are the latest pictures of my truck. It's been a few year project so far. I'm 24, and learning a lot of fabrication while building it, so...
