The Jalopy Journal
I'm using the front seat from a 1985 Dodge "600". That's a "K" car. I think the Aires is Plymouth's version. I'm using the front seat from a four...
I am currently running 46 front wishbones on the rear of my modified. I cut the cast end off at the weld. I used a grinder and cut-off wheel and...
I used an 8 3/4 Mopar rearend on my modified. It came out of a late 60's-early 70's "b" body (Coronet, Satellite, Charger, Roadrunner, etc) These...
The yard at Cabool is probably the best around. There are still plenty of old cars in this area but they are scattered around the countryside. Are...
Brother, If I come, will you let me beat you? Sam
As 52 pickup said, back in the day, folks elongated the hole through the firewall for column clearance and spaced the steering box out a little....
Mike, why not haul the bike in Clarence? Sam
Nice pictures, thanks, Sam
Rebuild my carbs, make a couple passes and spend more time making new friends. Sam
TMAN, on my 14.68 run I cut a .1233 reaction time with a 2.35 60ft time. I was watching your passes and times but never got over to you to suggest...
I made 5 passes ranging from 15.13/92.94mph to a best of 14.68/94.28mph. I wanted to run TMAN, we were pretty close. I drive a rusty metal 26...
Not to my knowledge. The guys I know go to the Frog Follies. They aren't in to the traditional stuff. Sam
Doug, they should have room. I'm leaving at the end of the day on Friday to head West to the HAMB Drags. Sam
Crestliner, I visited with you last year. I'll stop by and say hi. Sam
I'll be there. We are coming over on Thursday and should arrive about 1:00-1:30pm. We stay at the Super 8 just as you turn on to US 41 from US...
Ryan, I put my check and the registration form in the mail on Monday noon. You will probably get it today. Sam
Good Job. Drive it.
I forgot to mention that the 54 and early 55 trucks have a different grille. These grilles have a nose or horn in a center bar and not all the...
The "advance design" trucks, late 47'-53 had 2 piece windshields with a division bar in the center. There were small differences but the trucks...
I can't post pictures. My files are too large. I tried to send you a pm but couldn't attach the photos that way either. Send me an e-mail. I'll...
I am now planning to go and the weather report looks good. Wz and I will be in our 48'pickups. We should get there between 11:00-12:00. Are there...
I am currently running two 2GC's on an early offy intake. I purchased the carbs and the 2brlx4brl adapters at swapmeets. I just put the 4brl side...
In my 32' roadster I used a bench seat from a 67-72 Chev 1/2 ton pickup. The back tilts forward so with a little ingenuity you could make an...
Approximately 8 years ago I built a 26 tub. I purchased glass front doors from Poliform Industries. They were a good product and they are still in...
Clark, I just went through this on my just completed 26' Modified. I have 12° caster(checked it on the level with one of those magnetic devices...
1/4" of toe-in seems a bit much. Since everything was fine until now, you may have worn the tires to the point that it started affecting the ride....
Fraz, try to get an idea of what you want to build. The model A frame is a good foundation to start with. I have some extra wishbones, rearends,...
How's your foot?
Sunday morning, after sitting in steady rain until 11:00 at the event, we drove in some hard rain for 3-4 hours. The wipers on my 48 started...
I and my brother (WZ JUNK) will be there along with some of our "hooligan" friends. We usually park along the road between the Swapmeet area and...
