The Jalopy Journal
I gave on my tool. Clever tho it seemed, it wasn’t getting the job done. So, out came the other axle and pumpkin and drove a long breaker bar...
Thanks everyone for the suggests! I’ll let you know how i make out! Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Well, this is a post half venting and half asking for ideas. On a trip a few weeks ago in my 62 Bel Air Wagon, the axle slipped out of the...
Thanks everyone. I'm going to give the Amsoil a shot on this next change, but I like the idea of using something off the shelf. Between my Wagon...
Thanks- agreed that oil consumption is not anything to worry about, but I’d like something with some ZDDP in it if its got a flat tappet and just...
Hi all - I have a few noob questions. My 62 Bel Air Wagon has, what I can only assume, is a stock 327. It has the 250hp heads on it. I have an...
Thanks. My thought was it was ok to do that, but it's a spendy system and I didn't want to do any thing that would damage it. The instructions...
Hi All - Dumb question, but I'm finishing up the install of a VA Surefit IV system in my Wagon and I'm curious if I can run just the heat...
I really like the hidden hitch idea with the plate spring mounted. That's the route I'll go! Thanks all. When I get it done I'll be sure to...
Seems like the flip down option is the way to go and I'll just roll the dice on the plate. I don't usually go too far but I do have to get on the...
Hmm.. that's interesting. I have 14" of ground clearance to the bottom of the bumper - I'd like to do a 2"/Class 2 receiver so I can haul 4 bikes...
I'd love to see a pic!
Thanks - I am familiar with them. I also know of 2-3 reputable hot rod shops that can do the job. I'm not sure that R&R would do the type of...
Hi all - I'm looking for some pics/suggestion on adding a 2" receiver to the back my 1962 Chev Bel Air Wagon. Chevy made a ball hitch back in...
That's a great suggestion - in fact, a thought I had myself around asking him to show me the travel we'll see.
As I mentioned this is a very hot topic. It seems some recommend them in and others say they have worked ok mounted out (with many years and...
Pulled from my Roadster that I'm rebuilding. For sale is the single Master Cylinder and brake lever. $45/best offer. The unit works, holds...
End of October update - we are days away from full roller status! Long post alert! The front end is assembled and in. The new springs have an...
Here’s my 62[IMG] Nice wagon - looking forward to seeing what you do. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Not so sure it'll fit without touching the firewall if you aren't making it longer or plan on pushing the Rad out. I just installed an X-member...
Been a slow weeks. We had to order some parts and that created some starts and stops. The motor is in and mounted. We decided to make sure the...
Yes, but it's always the same day as Billetproof
Thanks for the pics. I was going to head over, but plans changed! Glad you snapped some pics!
Sending good vibes!
A few updates - I found a complete Ford 9" rear from a 69 Cougar. I'll put fresh fluid, wheel cylinders and brakes lines on it. Give it a good...
Right, my welder (Dale) basically said it's a crapshoot if they can find if the housing is twisted, etc and they'd probably cut the tube and weld...
I'm working thru a laundry list of things to do (as I'm sure you can all imagine). One item that I'm trying to sort out before we need to install...
Well, we were checking caster before we took it apart and found it was almost none. Depending on the book you read and the threads on HAMB you...
She doesn't, but her brother dresses in drag sometimes ;) Sag is probably what was going on - we found a crack once we stripped it down in the...
