The Jalopy Journal
I finally got to drive this.
Those early starters are a real bear to change too.
Try this part number at Oreilly's A2141. If you get 'em home and they don't fit, they're only 6 bucks apiece.
Best I've found was a '61 Ford F100 Unibody that had been channeled. Someone put a lot of time into doing it. I talked to the yard owner who...
I have a 1961 Ford 390 with the original 3-speed. This motor uses the old style starter with the long shaft and was wondering what I would need to...
I know every now and then I have to double clutch for 1st in my '61 Merc 3-speed when I'm at a dead stop. If I don't it's a little bit of a fight....
I'm very partial to the way a big block Ford sounds. High performance Pontiacs sound pretty good and almost all big block chryslers sound good.
Well my dad was an "everything guy" until I was born at that point he switched to only Fords so I guess I was the Blue Oval Baby. Now it seems I...
I wouldn't kid around about this stuff. I'm sure most of the guys back then were making jokes about the old codger driving the "antique" coupe....
I was wondering if anyone knew if a 9 inch housing from a 61-64 Galaxie will fit under a 1965 Ford F100 without altering the spring perches. I...
That black one has a pretty nice roofline and it's close to what I'm shooting for. The primered one with the red roof is a little outrageous but A...
Night Prowlers and coker tires has 5x5.5 Spider Caps now. enjoy.
I wasn't there, but I've hung around enough of the old guys to wish I was there right now.
Check out the Los Boulevardos car club forum. This a traditional lowrider board with lots of good information
I've been seriously thinking about chopping the top on my '65 F100 and was wondering if anyone had any pics of something like this or if anyone...
Right now I have a 1961 Mercury Monterey 2-door hard-top ps, pb, factory air, and get this, z-code 390 4bbl with a 3-speed on the column.
The best experiance for me was finding my Merc and working my ass off all last winter in the freezing cold to pay for it. I wouldn't change a...
I know exactly what you are talking about. Without the old guys who took the time to teach me something I wouldn't be the person I am to today....
I probably would have went to that but I figured there would be a bunch of rich guys there runnin up prices
Slowly coming together.
It's hard to tell by the picture, but it looks like a Chrome reverse which is based on an oem wheel with the outer ring flipped and the whole...
I get what I can dirt cheap and find the right person who wants what I have and trade for what I really need. Trade, barter, whatever it takes....
Yep, I was there sellin' parts at the Night Prowlers tent, didn't get to see much but still had the most fun I've had in a long time.
I like 'em both. But a two door car is a little more stylish.
A good friend of mine built one very similar to this. His conversion made for one very comfortable truck and he still owns it today. When asked...
