The Jalopy Journal
Thanks! One of the MANY pieces that will get finish welded when the mockup is finally done and I blow the whole car apart! Regards, Dave.
Ahh! That brings back memories of doing mine wheeldog! And yes, it's a tight one! Just takes lots of study and contemplation plus measuring...
The seed of my oval track racing interest was planted watching the televised "Jalopy Races" in the '50's. I recall them showing the car/driver...
SOLD. Moderators please delete. Thanks!
Started the avatar Jan. 20, 2001. Mockup close to being done. Have most of the pieces for a '27 turtledeck TBucket as well. Got them in 2013 (I...
Funny, I always imagined the Ford as a '56 and the Caddy the same year. Same Caddy in "Hot Rod Lincoln", but I imagined the Model A with an early...
Heck George, just have some glass circles cut to fit them and tell your Mrs. that they are some new automotive-style end tables you picked up....
Great progress Cliff! Go man go! Regards, Dave.
Got the driver's side fender to the same point as the passenger side one and even banged out some of it's dents and creases. Now have to shoehorn...
Old, chromed and solid steel! Has just the right amount of patina on the chrome to look like it could be from the '50's. Too big in diameter to...
Nice score! Phaetons are cool as there aren't that many of them around. I can sympathise with trying to piece together original and repro body...
The "Grandpappy of Rock and Roll!". "Roll Over Beethoven" and "Maybelline" were my personal favourites, but thanks for ALL of your tunes Chuck!...
I agree with Danny. Horizontal mounting flange is different than my '28' but I'm guessing it could be an early '28 "AR" version. Regards, Dave.
Right on Cliff! Glad I could help you out and that you've been able to get her done and put some miles on her! Thanks and yes, I'm slowly...
Gorgeous! My uncle Stan had a '58 Pontiac wagon he bought new and was super meticulous about maintaining in all respects, but especially...
VERY well put George! :D:D:D Regards, Dave
Looking good Cliff and a great alternate use for the engine stand. Will tuck that one away for future use! Have been stalled on my avatar AV8 due...
I had one of our local rad shops build the rad for my avatar AV8 from a stock A one that I supplied. I didn't use a Deuce shell. Hope this...
Do it again!
Yes! Add my "yay!" to squirrel's! Well done! Regards, Dave.
Didn't have Vern's book, but used Mac's to do the one in my avatar several years ago. Yes, the knowledge it provided definitely added to the...
Nice sanitary little sedan Danny! Ya did good!! Regards, Dave.
I'll second all that 'patmanta" said! With regard to the panhard addition, there is a good recent thread titled ( I believe) "panhard bar...
AV8 in the shop (has been for sixteen years!). Mockup close to being finished but no money right now. [ATTACH] Frame, 302 and rear end for...
Back when I was trying to decide "pickup, coupe or sedan" for the body of my AV8, I looked inside a closed cab pickup and thought, "no - don't...
Cool story Mike! Here's my first of many and the only HAMB friendly one: [ATTACH] Sorry for the poor quality! Still trying to master the art of...
That is STUNNING!!
Looks to be pretty rust free but if it were me (and I wish to hell it was!) I would definitely be sliding underneath (or better yet, putting it up...
In '63 there was a similar style two bay station (one of many in our town at that time!) on my bus route to high school, Pandora Esso. The owner...
[ATTACH] This is the copy I have. I believe it's a compilation of previous smaller ones which, individually, focused on different aspects of...
