The Jalopy Journal
Welcome to the HAMB. I am from North-West Jersey, and have a '51 Chevy 3800 (one ton pickup). I registered mine with the antique vehicle "QQ"...
I'm building a '29 A-V8 in 1/25 scale-- on Deuce rails and using a Deuce shell/grille, flathead engine, etc. Of course I'm following true to the...

Always loved the Willys pickups. . . .
Welcome from Western NJ
Just a side note; when I got my dad's '51 Chevy 3800 (one ton) pickup back on the road, I gave it the gun and brought that old 216 up to 75 mph...
Amen! Practical, that's why!
I would!
No one mentioned that it may also be a cracked distributor cap. Hairline cracks cannot be seen. Do like the others said above. Check your...
I agree. "Barn Find" is well over-used. There are not that many barns left in my area, and the ones that are, are full of hay/grain, farm...
Hey Jen! I see you got some shots of that blue pickup I was bugging you to photograph!
I agree with Danny. My old auto tech teacher always said: "Look with your eyes, not with your hands!"
Buy it up!
Sue the truck driver and the trucking company. I'm sure this will be allowable because you have a "special interest car."
Welcome from Western NJ, where we still have farms, and all the yuppies moved to from the city. . . . . they are amazed to see cows out here.
Replace the channels. And I agree, don't slam the doors. I was at Dead Man's Curve car show last week, and two different times people slammed...
O-rings: You can make your own custom size to fit cylinder liners (if you have a wet liner application), and have seen this done because none of...
Tried searching this thread, but all I got was a "syntax error." Crap.
Nah, that's way down in South Jersey. This track was Northwest of Flemington, not too awfully far from th e famous Flemington Speedway dirt track.
Does anyone out there have any pictures or information of a drag strip that was operated outside of Pittstown, NJ (not too far from State Route...
My favorite three of the show. Anybody else got some pics to share?
Nobody mentioned Sea Foam's fuel stabilizer. It was the only thing that worked with the ethanol based fuels when first introduced. Sta-bil...
Nice. Keep it unchopped too.
I wouldn't chop it. If you want a choppded top car, sell this one off and buy a chopped 5-window body. Otherwise, build it and drive it.
Interesting trivial note: Chrysler Industrials ran sodium filled exhaust valves. I don't think that would be a problem on the street. These...

Locking beads were not used on the '47-'53 windshields. The only exception was the Deluxe trim package (mostly on '49's) which used a stainless...
RP is fully compatible with mineral based oils, and I've used it without any complaints.
I would like to know how that engine sounds. . . . . .
