The Jalopy Journal
ahhhh... call me an idiot then.
I bought my Galaxie off a guy in San Fran from here in NZ. I got it checked out up there by a local then paypaled a deposit. I paid the rest in...
Yeahnah, call me an idiot but I don't see why you'd go for a bellybutton motor in a special car when you can use something more...
Stumbled across this and doesn't seem to have made it's way onto the HAMB from what I could find. Some nice 70s film making - fuellers in slow...
I picked up a copy of the book because the trailer looked so good. Interesting read, a series of short profiles with plenty of examples of the...
I'm with you on that. Fresh out of school apprenticed on cars and over the years gradually moved away into an office job. Nothing makes me happier...
Bump for an update? That last pic shows a lot of promise for the finished car.
No, but a girl I know has them on the soles of her shoes.
Just check your stock manifolds are flat before you use them. 390s are prone to leaks, i just had mine machined and the difference was amazing.
If you're in Pomona and want some dinner post swapmeet you've got to try Coco Palms in the hills over Pomona, just up the road. We got nervous...
i found it interesting. Ugly, but interesting.
Random idea; find a design student, load them up pics of stuff you like, some direction and a box or two of beers or a few bucks. These are the...
I like the white/brown combo. Would look good with a bit of pinstriping. O/T, but did you make your own furnace for casting? is it an old LPG...
I went last year for the first time. If/when I go next I'll go Thursday to Wednesday. I didn't get a pit pass; it's not heavily policed, i...
It looks ghetto. It looks confused.
What he said. Like having a wife you don't 'enjoy'. Might as well get a blow-up doll.
This... Best idea yet.
Best line I've heard in a while.
And that's another nudge for me to get my Galaxie going the custom way.
Is the seat underneath crap? I used carpet tape on my old (vinyl) seats to hold a blanket in place on the bench in my ute, so far so good. And...
All going to plan, and a bit of luck, I'll be there.
If you knew how hard it was to get the money, you'd understand why I'm cautious about spending it. From now on all cars I buy get checked and all...
Thanks, have flicked him a note.
No, a guy named Mike. What is Steve C selling? Is it in the classifieds on here?
Castro Valley, haven't got exact address yet, sorry if it's too vague.
Hi, Can anyone recommend a mechanic/workshop to visit and check out a Galaxie for me in the San Fran East Bay area. I've googled the crap out...
Hi, heading over aiming to get a 63/64 Galaxie, maybe a 62 if I'm lucky. Have a friend in San Diego theoretically lining things up on that end.
Hi, long time lurker, first time poster. Been sifting this site for a good couple of years and have signed up in anticipation of my trip to the US...
