Yes, 1916.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH]This is a 1916 Willys Overland Speedster, exactly the same frame I have.
Frame make solved. Was at a car show and saw a Willys Overland Speedster, 1916. It had exactly my frame, right down to location of manual...
Haven't been on here in quite a while, nor worked much on the Jalopy either. I have fixed the bounce problem though. After putting the 3rd pair...
A member on this thread, Flashback Bill, mentioned that if an Overland VIN was sent to him he could look it up and tell what year and model it's...

Roadside, everything on your list has been replaced or checked in the last couple of weeks. Axel was changed out with a verified good one with...
2old2fast, I haven't wanted to admit that that may be the problem, but I've thought about that a lot, you may be exactly right. I boxed the...
Btw Shift Wizord, I've never checked the weight per wheel, but lifting from the center of either axel lifts both tires on that axel at the same...
These are the second set of tires I've had on it, first were bias ply, then 3 years ago I went to radials. Bounced like crazy with the bias plus,...
Some success here. I dropped the tire pressure from 33 to 27, bouncing is almost gone, most noticable in a corner when the weight is unloaded...
BTW, when I put the shocks on, I noticed the bracket holding the Panhard bar was at a bit of an angle, grabbed it and it was loose. Turning the...
Finally got the front end together. Test drive with no shocks and still have some bounce, but markedly better, but... think wandered allover the...
JW, missed your post. Tires are round, and balanced (have had checked 3 times since I put them on by different tire suppliers), was using...
I did change out the old Houdaille shocks for new tube shocks with little change. I'm betting that brake drum out of balance is the problem....
I prefer not to weld on the drums. Only talking about a couple of ounces here, and I'll loctite the machine screw in, cut it off almost flush and...
Got new bearings today, ground the radius in and mounted one hub, no seal, and just light oil on the bearings and only enough preload to take up...
Thanks Rich Sent from my SM-T580 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Rich B, do you happen to have a number for the seal to fit this bearing?
Thanks for the bearing info, gonna see if there's a pair of them in this town this morning Sent from my SM-T580 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Been away from here for a few months, you guys have given me lots of good ideas here, but alas none have cured my problem. I've tried the air...
I guess it's time for me to eat a little crow. My wife seldom rides with me, and I cannot see that right tire. Talked her into riding along last...
Left tire bouncing
I have Houdaille lever shocks on front, they work well. I took them off and adjusted them using a torque wrench so they have very close to the...
I need help! I've dealt with the left front tire dribbling at speeds between 55 and 59 ever since I got my Jaloy on the road, about 5 years ago....
A little more info on the mystery frame. It's 118 3/4 inches front spring mount to end offrame, 29 inches wide at front and 41 3/8 inches wide ar...
I agree with you Desmodromic, this frame will do just fine for what I want. This build is probably not actually going to start until next fall,...
Can anyone identify this frame for me? My next build will be a Speedster based on a 20s to early 30s Chevrolet. I was hoping this was a Chev...
Had my Jalopy at the Winter Rod and Speed show in Albany Oregon in January and was approached by a promoter of the Portland Roadster Show, said he...
Decided to get rid of the stock steering box and go to cross steering with a mid 60s Chev pickup box. Built new tie rod and drag link. Also...
