The Jalopy Journal
On a side note, all '64 & '65 2-Door Chevelle wagons were built at the Fremont plant. And the '66 El we're building as my son's car came from...
Awesome truck! Glad all of that went smoothly. So, did I see that there's a Chevy version in the works after you get settled, based on those pictures?
My thought as well. Nice set-up.
Another I did earlier this year, hand-sketched and inked in from a picture I saved off of this fine site.[ATTACH]
It's been a few years, so here goes.[ATTACH]
This is exactly what I went through, and when the polished anvils showed up, a few were cracked from the bore out to the finish surface. I sent...
That's excellent! Thanks for posting all of this. I have some old Offy valve covers for my '65 Vette that were chromed way back when, but the...
I had ordered the Summit set, but the first set came in all nicked and grooved. The replacement set was smoother, but black, didn't look finished...
It was awesome watching this build, better than a TV show. Great fun to log in pretty much every day and see the progress. My son was thrilled to...
Possibly a Ford Y-Block? Maybe 2 coils just for show.
Love those steelies and white walls!
I was fortunate enough to chat with Jay at a Good Guys meet in Pleasanton, CA many years ago. A very nice gentleman that was surprised no one else...
I love watching your projects come together, well done! On the beat-to-death top color question, I think the white would tie in best with the...
All of this is exceptionally cool! On the belt-driven OHC heads, I think I would like to see more idlers put in to wrap the belts around the...
Jonnie, Thank you, that clears things up quite a bit, ha ha. I'll have to go listen for sure! Thanks for all of your hard work to get and preserve...
Back again. I clicked the links, but they only take me to more pages of text and pictures. I really want to see this, even own the seasons and...
I guessing that the catch assembly is steel with welded or captured nuts and the handle on the glass is stainless steel? If I had one in hand, or...
While visiting my uncle, near the end of his life, he had me do some work on a '41 Chevy he had. He had worked on cars since he was in his teens,...
Did you ever post-up the video? This was an awesome idea and well executed. Thanks for posting it.
Alrighty, here's one. 1:18 1960 Impala
Enloe, I was thinking the exact same thing. Maybe a hole with a scoop like the yellow Greer, Black, and Prudhomme dragster. I always loved that...
I can't seem to watch the video (claims an error), but that this thread is awesome, Jim is as well, and that little car is dang quick!
Enloe, you are correct. Great to see the improvements on this Vette!
Now that wheel and tire combo looks perfect! Change the hood and it's a total winner!
I think that is a problem. You are going to have an air pocket in there, and that will screw things up for you. It will be hard to purge the system.
When you first stated that it had a 190° thermostat, I thought that was a little high. 180 would be better in my opinion. Glad things are moving...
You have already received more info than you can shake a stick at, but I'm going to toss in my $.02 anyway, ha ha ha. The shroud for the...
Funkhouser, where did you get the little Safeway store diorama? That is very cool! I collect 1:18 almost solely, and that little store looks like...
Excellent! Now looking forward to your subtle improvements. Congrats on getting it home.
Works for me. Awesome finds and work! Love the Impala, love the '58!
