The Jalopy Journal
I am planning on custom bucket seats, lightly tinted glass among other improvements. My car is missing the upright portion of the back seat so,...
Thanks Bill. You and many others on here have made some very valid points and definitely a great deal of things to consider.
I'm listening and I'm not saying no to this idea completely. I have nothing against the stock suspension even though I may come across that way, I...
Very true Bill. I typically beat ideas like this to death many times before I ever even think of cutting anything, LOL. What do you do to lower...
Thanks, I will check it out.
EXACTLY!!! And that is my biggest hang up with sub-frames that are not done right. The GM clip I'm using is 59", the Ford clip is 55.6" and the...
Thanks for the comments guys. I know there are some who have butchered a clip swap. However, because they did not know what they were doing...
Well, let's try this again. I recently scored this 1941 Chevy Coupe Special Deluxe. It is 100% complete, 100% stock original and in excellent...
Looks great!!! I definitely like the lowered in the front look. It appears from the pictures that my car has 6 lugs in the rear and 5 in the...
Oh sorry, gotcha!
Yes sir, that;s perfect. Thanks for posting
Thanks, I will check out the welder series stuff. At the least I am thinking I will change out the rear with a 8.8" for sure.
GORGEOUS CAR!!!!! So you left the entire front suspension in tact?
Looks like it was in good shape then. These cars are hard to find in decent shape anymore.
I was thinking of only using the rear springs and rear end on the back. Would that be doable? For the front, I would fab that clip to my original...
AWESOME WORK!!!
I know many have gone this route many times with varying success. I have an opportunity to grab this as pictured for $200. I was thinking of using...
WOW, I am jealous now, LOL. Beautiful work!
That's cool! I hope it does spur you to start on building it.
Good info Jimmy, thank you. I am not sure if the 6 that's in there even runs but I am going to find out for sure. Are these old six's babbet engines?
Got it, thank you.
GREAT INFO guys!!! This is what I'm looking for. I really appreciate it. Sounds like the Camaro clip is not the way to go on this car. As much...
Thank you for sharing your photos and info, that is looking sweeeeettttttt!!!!! I am still on the fence with the clip but after looking at prices...
Yes, I got the black car only. No, I did not get the parts car because I just don't have a place to put it but I wish I did. Thanks.
Thanks Ben. I actually did think about a later inline 6 but I guess I am just stuck on the SBC stuff. I am thinking of a Vintage Air setup on this...
Those are awesome!!! Thank you for sharing.
Heck yeah. a 348 and a 4-speed would be awesome for sure. 348's seem to be a bit scarce anymore. I'm in Texas so without A/C in August would be...
Will do, thanks for the info.
Hello guys. I have been kind of dormant on here for a while due to my Dad passing away, not having an old car, injuries (car accident) and life in...
