The Jalopy Journal
If there is an existing thread on this, I didn't find it and I think Nailheads are one of the coolest looking traditional engines. There are...
Don't look now but this guy is off his rocker, IMO. Or am I that out of touch?...
A few years ago, my friend Bill Hampton said, "I can't figure out what kind of guy you are." I asked what he meant and he said, "Well, you are...
I am just not auto monogamous. I play with cars for a few years, sell them and buy and try something new. I sold my 49 Tin Woody back in February...
I know I am late to the party but I bought a copy of "Edelbrock- Made in the USA" and am enjoying the heck out of it. I started into this ass...
This one may have been talked about before but I got to thinking, "What are the coolest hot rod engines of all time?" I am going to exclude the...
This is one of those "why didn't I think of that?" solutions. Every old GM car I have leaks a little oil that drips out of that hole in the torque...
Today I went to SIX auto pars stores to buy a bottle of Turtle Wax chrome polish like I have done a million times before. Nada. Not one damn store...
Ok folks. I know there are several threads on balance beads and I've read them. Despite that, I'm still having a problem getting my 49 Buick's...
I would have lost a couple over the years. At least NC allows you to put a bonded title and their sticker on it....
I ran across a pretty rough 37 Packard Business Coupe for sale. It would take a LOT of work but it just looks pretty cool to me. What say the...
What are good traditional colors for me to consider for my 34 Tudor. Since work on the Buick has basically been stymied by the weather, I've spent...
I just went through all my watched threads and "unwatched" a bunch of them. A lot of them are build threads that just never got finished. It got...
I have grown really fond of Dupli Color's engine enamel. Once you learn to not spray it on heavy for the first 2 coats, it works well, looks good...
I was at the Nashville GoodGuys this week and this wicked car came idling in. At first, I thought it was a 40 Caddy but then I caught a glimpse of...
[ATTACH] I knew I was going to have to have a recessed firewall in my 34 Ford and I didn't like the looks of any of the aftermarket options that...
New Jersey. You may have noticed the temperature dropped and it got really cool this week. At least it did on the East Coast and it was downright...
Brian, BJR, has a '49 Buick like me and he was very kind to ship me a passenger side door latch that he had left over. These are really hard to...
Well, it's not really welding, it's MIG brazing. I visited a restoration shop the other day and there was a guy doing some patch panel...
Do you use cribbing boxes? I built these for doing suspension work and am also using them for my build. A buddy, who is a long time builder, saw...
I see more and more cars and articles about cars being built with what I believe to be excessive (I'm trying to be nice.) amounts of HP these...
I installed a Pertronix II distributor about a year ago in my 350 HO and the hall effect module has already failed and cost me a 50 buck ride in a...
My 41 Plymouth is showing signs that there is a lot of under the hood heat that is ot flowing out. The coolant temperature rises on a mid 80's day...
When I bought this car, I bought it sigh unseen about 5 or 6 years ago. I named it Big Bertha as soon as I saw it. It had been "hot rodded" with a...
I am 98% done with my 41 Plymouth. I started this build about 8 years ago with the intent to build a traditional looking hot rod that had just...
Yesterday, I made a crossover H pipe for my new exhaust on my 57 Chevy. It just so happended that I had the right size holesaws to cut the...
I was taught at an early age that a device that converts gasoline or diesel fuel to rotary motion is called an "engine". A device that converts...
