The Jalopy Journal
Things have taken a turn for the worse. I have to find a home for this truck.
Pretty much reached the point where I need to sell everything off :(
I watched a friend unload two landrovers fresh back from the paint shop. He rolled one off ok & then rolled the second one off.. planning to use...
Actually there is one issue with it & thats hardly worth mentioning. The motor on the back is supposed to be held in place by 4 bolts, the lower 2...
Devilbis spoken here, I have a Plus, a GTi, a FLH3 primer cannon, an SRi & a couple of others :) If you want to learn how to *handle* a gun...
It's got a tiny chuck on it right now, but came with some others, 1 of which is a 3/4in Jacobs. If I go the polish/pinstripe route on the...
I'm trying to resist the urge to polish the snot out of it & add some pinstripes.. :)
Picked this up yesterday, just had to buy it when I saw the handle :) [img] [img]
If you want to speed up the electrolysis, use Lye in the mix ;)
Electrolysis is more fun.. especially when ya add lye to the mix....
That tank is drier than a popcorn fart, absolutely no gas fumes or residue at all.
Great, now I feel old.. ya rat bastard :( :cool:

Pity the guy that ever rear ends my ex Bil"s '73 Nova... there's no bondo.. but the quarters are filled with concrete for *added traction* at the...
Yup, Rustoleum Hammered finish Verde Green. Makes it easy to take care of any future scratches.
Ex wife left her foam exercise mat here when I chucked her out so that wil be sacrificed as drawer liners :)
I think it needs pinstriping.... A visit to Littel Designs is in order...
I was told not to park on the *lawn*. I stopped watering it & it was a dustbowl inside of 2 weeks.
Put a concrete paver in front of each wheel, roll vehicle forward onto paver. sorted.
It's double skinned so the options were bondo or getting stuck into it with the stud welder etc. I did take the large dent out of the right side.
I went to Lowes to pick up some 3/4 plywood for the top, but found a 20x48 pine tabletop that was a couple of bucks cheaper than a 24x48 piece of...

Combination of correct overlap & the fogging on a last pass from about 2ft away.... [IMG] [IMG]

I wouldn't use either, but thats just me. You can still buy the *good stuff* in California, you just need to know where to go. Not familiar with...
