The Jalopy Journal
I'm going to try to be there... Looking forward to seeing the turnout!
I had really bad luck with a Tweco Fabricator 211i (ESAB) multi-process welder, ended up spending more time being repaired under warranty than...
I was fortunate when I got my engine, it came with the GT-40 heads and a set of JBA shorty headers and was a roller cam block. Not a bad deal...
Thanks @Beanscoot & @deathrowdave for the clarification... I knew there were some header - sparkplug issues, but had mistakenly thought it was...
Found this in a quick search, building one has been on my list of things to do for a while......
I have the GT-40 heads (three bar) on my 302. The later explorer GT-40P heads flow a bit better, but have slightly different (edit) * Spark plug...
As always, truly appreciate both your talent, but also sharing it with us!
I have had the chance to see several Low Riders up close and personal and the thing that always gets me is the attention to detail. To me, it...
Love the latest incarnation of your truck! Sucks about the trans... I did that with a freshly rebuilt AOD... which got freshly rebuilt.... again!...

Thanks for sharing your work, love that seat!
"Worst part was cutting slits in the rear valance." In the event that you need sort of kinda most of one, let me know. I hacked mine out quite...
Excellent work Chris! Gas tank be gone! Love your vision and skills to make it happen!
Truth be told, I wish I had seen this pic about a year ago... I'd probably be a few days ahead.
I planned on using some 2' x 1/4" steel strap to make my rear bumper mounts, perhaps a bit overkill but hey, I had the stuff laying around. I'll...
Great work on the tailgate and paint, Chris! Painting the tank made it disappear!
