The Jalopy Journal
Still up in the air if we're coming. Gotta bring my 7yr old daughter and as much as she loves bombing around in my jalopy, it may get a tad warm....
We'll be at Dba on frenchman sat at 8 o'clock. Guess we'll see ya'll there.-Mike
Not to be a dick but, most locals stay as far away from the quarter as possible. Its nothing but a big strip mall for drunks. If you come to new...
If that's who I think it is, he lived down the street from my old house before the storm. He was buildin a tube chassis for a blown big block...
i'm down with meetin on frenchman. Actually need to stray from the usual uptown haunts once in a while. Anyone else?

There's a better pic of her in a bikini taking the front end apart. Gotta find that one.

I figure between 35 5/8 and 35 3/4 should be close enough. Its only the bumper location so if need be I can shim or tweak the brackets. I wanna be...

We're finally getting around to working on my wife's wrecked Bel Air and I have to cut the front leg off the driver's side of the frame and...
I guess I got lucky too, atleast the 2nd time. Our first date consisted of her jumpstarting my 54 with her 57 and scrounging for belts at the...
I feel for all of you. I was out of work for a year after katrina hit and it sucked to say the least. In hindsight it may have been a sort of...
There are taper bearings that go right in. Did it on my last 54. About to do it on my current one. Still trying to find my papers from the bearing...
I saw that movie when I was eight and instantly wanted a willys/gasser. Still have the movie, barely viewable vhs copy, and 25 years later have a...
I'm Mike and I live uptown. Got a 53 chevy, 48 coupe, and my wife has a 57 she's fixing. Not really much of a scene. I tend to hang around people...
