The Jalopy Journal
Parts stores sell rubber “ crutch tips ” in the do it section. Get an assortment, slip it on, should fit snug, hose clamp to make sure it stays in...
And just what is wrong with that?:rolleyes: At least you have the sea breezes down there. I'm 200 miles north of the Gulf, and yes, it gets as...
Not just I10, you’re liable to see them anywhere in AL,MS, and GA. GA busted a couple of them at the scales last year, they had some of those...
Leave it in FL. Take the trailer back and get another one and bring it down. Repeat until they’re all in FL. Forget MI and enjoy sunny FL year...
Should be fairly easy to find a 302 donor car. They put them in everything, Mustangs, Fairmonts, LTD Crown Vic, TBirds, Cougars, etc. If you get...
I was born the year before it started, and I had never seen it either until a few years ago. One of the satellite channels, TV Land, MeTV, I...
Slip a 440 in it and leave the outside. Perfect sleeper!
I’d want water, air, and electricity at each door outside. I hate to have to run a hose around the building because I only have one spigot outside.
Could end up being a honey hole…. Or a scrap pit!
I like that trunk latch idea!:D I’ve been looking off and on for a while for an idea for mine, I have a manual latch like that, might be a hood...
It was just a thought on getting rid of the horse collar and the hood bulge in front for it. Nothing is ever as easy as it seems. Not having both...
The cage would need some work, maybe some added bars mid frame also, but other than that it doesn’t look really that bad. A T or Bantam glass...
Hey Cat, when I was about your age, I could put on a VW belt with it running like that! Wouldn’t dare try it now, too old, fingers too stiff,...
Need to watch your overall width. See how the C60 steps are even with the fenders edge? If you get them out too wide they will hang stuff in...
My experience is that paint will fade and chalk out in just a couple of years. Might last better if you add a hardener, I don’t know.
I’m partial to the Summit carbs that are a copy of the old Autolite. No gaskets below the fuel level, so one less thing to leak. And they look...
I bet it would look like a Fairlane! Would be an easy swap if the hoods interchanged. I remember there were two different bodies on the first year...
Well, both were groundbreaking cars. But the Edsel wasn’t quite the groundbreaking they wanted, it about broke Ford…
I never understood the wide 5 deal either. I guess it is stronger than the normal close fit 5, stock car guys seem to like it on dirt cars. I...
Sorry for the problems you had getting on, see now that you made it, welcome!
Does it still say on the can, “Not to be used on airplanes”?
I’ve always wondered what one would look like if you shaved the hump off the hood and shitcanned the horse collar, replacing it with a full width...
I just recently started a new site mostly dedicated to stuff the HAMB doesn’t cover. It’s still very small and may never be much, but instead of...
Hang in there man. We lost my wife’s mother a while back from the same thing plus complications from some other things. Her Dad was right there...
Take the top cover with the shifter off. Edit: looks like you could just drop the tail of the transmission? If not, maybe they put a bolt in...
You have 12 years on me, but in 77 when I finished high school it was the same way. The guys wanted two doors, even if that meant a Vega or Pinto,...
I had the same thing happen to me one day coming back into Baton Rouge LA, I was able to stop at the old Tiger truck stop by gearing down and...
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. It takes much less beer for you than it does me to see the beauty in that.:rolleyes: Not everyone likes...
Prices will differ with the COL in any area, I’m sure it would be cheaper here in Bama than in CA or NY. Quality will also make a big difference,...
I’ve seen pics of a WWII tank engine that was produced by Chrysler….5 inline flathead sixes connected at flywheels, stacked up in a weird circle....
