The Jalopy Journal
I can't believe I missed this. I only heard about it two days before it happened. I had no idea it was going to be this great a gathering of retro...
Ryan, What an excellent way to start a Monday morning! Your words, and especially those sweet-light (and sweet car) photos were just enough and...
Mr. Flyer, I was thinking it was Gofannon who wrote the above reply--where things do rotate in the opposite direction (and yes, my head exploded...
We spent all day today driving the F-100 down to Bonsall (near San Diego), with a bed full of new parts, to Jay Dean's Nostalgia Ranch so he can...
Yep, I was there. '61 too. Saw it all, and certainly remember it. I'm very surprised they didn't show more of the Super Stockers and A/FXs. That...
Hartman and the Spaldings collaborated on another Chev 6 lakes/track roadster before this one. Although the rules specified track roadsters had to...
Thanks, I forgot about this one. I saved it to my file. Since it says Ray Brown Automotive on the hood, this is after the White Bros. bought the...
Just to answer a couple of quick questions: Like Halibrand, Pat Warren (Downey Machine Co.) made at least three different size QCs, for midgets...
Wow. I just discovered this thread. Thankyou all, very very much for all your kind words. I've been so busy being retired I hadn't tuned in to the...
[ATTACH] Hey, one of those cars could easily have been mine. It often had many more boards on it than this. And yes, I remember most of those...
Traded for a milk bill?? I'm not at all sure what that means. But I'm sure I've got something better than that to trade for it. No, wait. I...
Flipped the frame over and painted the other side last night. My one comment: The only component of this car (other than the Rotoflo shocks and...
Jon, I checked your website and see no way to email you photos, so I will try here. Following are photos of one of my BXOV 2 carbs. [ATTACH]...
Huge thanks to CarbKing and Gofannon. Those exploded views and jet size charts are exactly what I was hoping for. Jon, I'll still call you...
Hey Marty, Thanks for posting these, as well as this whole thread. I just got some fresh DP primer/sealer yesterday and will primer the frame...
Jay, I am amazed at the great videos you discover. But mainly, the Type 35 Bugatti is my all-time favorite classic, sports car, race car. Louvers,...
As is too often the case, there is a lot of misinformation included here. I'm tempted to say that in Gray's case, the myth is part of the man--and...
I don't want to get into this contest. But just to set the record straight, Rod & Custom in absolutely no way "sponsored" or "financed" this car's...
Fantastic photos! Did somebody already say that? Sure wish I was there.
Jay, My copy, on the shelf within reach of my computer, is the one with the spine completely faded to white. I bought it in 1961. And yes, the...
Todd, A big personal THANKYOU for the several times you have mentioned or promoted my column here on the H.A.M.B. And the same to others who have...
Not that what I have to say amounts to much more than a bucket of greasy bolts, but I have been waiting, and hoping, for The Rodder's Journal to...
Pat Ganahl here. I just learned about this thread today because someone mentioned my name. I have also been getting deluged with emails wanting...
No, no. I remember Richard, his Gemsa-powered pickup, and the trip over the Grapevine (plus some nursing he had to do on the engine). But those...
When I signed up for the HAMB I should have chosen a better username, but I didn't know what I was doing then. But this thread found me....
This was the second time I've watched this video, and you're absolutely right, it's the best that has ever been done on custom cars. I didn't know...
This is absolutely amazing! Marty Strode just emailed me this thread this morning. The photos are fantastic, and the cars in them are even better....
I guess it was Robert who called me at home yesterday looking for photos. I've written this a few times in a few places, but I guess it bears...
Yes. See my Lost Hot Rods II, pp. 102-104 for some very nice candy red photos. Lupe kept the beautiful car the way it was for decades. Them with...
Thanks Jack. I appreciate it. Taking any pictures up there in the wet, beautiful Northwest? Pat
