The Jalopy Journal
SICK SICK SICK!, I love how some motors just sound PISSED (the only real descriptive for this sound) when unleashed.
I do love that this video pops up every few months. I have it saved on my computer so that I can watch/listen to it every now and then. Cheaper...
Inspiring is an understatment. One week... Very nice ride, and I hope it did accomplish what you set out to do in the first place. Can't wait to...
That was the first thought that came to mind when I saw the rear shot. It reminded me of a "Talbot", or "Zagato" from the French coachbuilder...
I love the car. The front shock setup makes me think of a mountain bike rear suspension cantilever. Good idea. Is there a torsion bar inside the...
Love the story, love the car. I am glad to see that you are going to be true to its racing roots, and keep it cool. I am sure the old guy who sold...
175k for one, 200+k for the other... People are insane today... On the other hand, if you ask a super high amount, you might just get a super high...
Got to see him live three times. Once at "La Semana", (fiesta in SA), and twice at a small bar in Austin (very small bar). You knew that he was...
I did'nt see any pics or video of the "CKC" funny car. Did it show up after all?
I would have to say the "Best" times for drag racing would be the late 60's - to early 70's. I know that when speaking of an era, you normally...
The car is just right. Looks right, looks like the right combo for engine, tranny, etc.. I was going to say that it needed a cage, but you stated...
That is why I love the HAMB. Endless info, and quick. Thank you very much. I have looked and called so many fiberglass manf. and none could help....
I have looked everywhere (at least everywhere that I know of) for a fiberglass hood, front fenders for a 49-52 Chevy sedan. Does anyone know of a...
My best wishes and prayers go out to Ted. The preverbial "light" in his tunnel is that he is going to Houston. There just are no better research...
I think that you have legit concerns, and observations as to the wave of change in rods. I think that is one of the biggest reasons for my love of...
Great post, thanks for the pics as well. I love the moderninst style of architecture, and am personally glad to see a "re-surgance" of sorts for...
You have built an awesome ride. Yours shows that the right ideas, and determination will always work out. I love it.
We just installed one in the 50' Ford race car that we are building. We are using a Richmond though, not the T56. Pretty much the same externally,...
Wow Buzzard, your car looks great with the slicks mounted. Looks like she is running pretty damn good as well. Nice run.
Thanks for the info. It does look like a "road warrior" of sorts. Lots of metalwork in that one. Hope it turns out nice. I like the serious look...
First off, thanks for the pics. Looks like a good time. I do have a question on the 49' Ford though. Do you have any info on it? I am curious, as...
I will be in contact with you later this afternoon. Curious about a couple of things, and hope you can answer. Later, Rik
Hey zman, thanks for the info, and I have a question that you might be able to answer. Are there any changes that need to be made to the valve...
btt - for some info.. I hope...
Not meaning to change the subject, as this video looks really cool, but whatever happened to the "Ed Roth" movie that debuted at SXSW this year???...
During the filming, Garner, (and some of the other actors) were being trained by Bondurant. Garner did take to the racing so well, that he picked...
Not just Jim Clark, but Grahm Hill as well. Bob Bondurant trained most of the "actors" to drive for the movie, and then went on to start his...
Whether there is a danger or running out of oil or not, is not the issue. The fact that there are engines being built that can produce such power,...
Nice kit car man!... j/k.. I love you truck, and the addition of the "puke tank" is a plus. Pinstriping looks great too.
Those are really great shots, and thank you for posting them. Some of these buildings would make really great lofts or condos, should the right...
