The Jalopy Journal
Hi, this is an old thread and it seems that availability for Shoebox headers has decreased while prices have increased a lot. Reds are from 325...
Back again at the project after 20 months, as so often life has got into the way but it's still there and won't go. So in 2022 I managed to cut...
Are you still trying to start the engine with the two coils and the crappy cables from the tuesday picture? I would recommend to test at least...
Nothing to go racing but somehow unusual even when there are a lot fans still around here. Incredible sound you can hear from miles away from the...
I liked your version of this car more than the current one.
Your Skills are awesome! Everything was already said and I can only say that you‘re close to unreal. And as if it‘s nothing just restore a Vespa...
Ah ok, thanks for explaining.
Really nice! I‘ve never seen such a double side mirror. Is it to see the traffic lights?
Don‘t try to search for the web adress on the trailer, the content there has really nothing to do with custom Cars. Maybe somebody with quite...
Have you folks seen this site: https://garagemdigital.blogspot.com/2013/11/shoebox.html?m=1 or this...
Funny but somehow this factory fastback design study looks a little bit like what many top chops trying to achieve. Never seen it before.
@Greengo 51 : Oh thats really a substancial layer of bondo. I allway though I had to grind off a lot but you are out front.
hi parabola, does the brake booster brings a top swivel brake pedal with it, or is it a remote unit for the standard brake pedal position?
Pretty cool! Are you sure with the scoops on the hood? In the pictures they look a little bit too boxy or rectangular compared to the perfect flow...
Rear un notched? Means frame not C‘ed and drive shaft tunnel not lifted?
Hi Cooon, Quite low your car, looking really good. Is this height driveable? Or do you have airbags lowered for pics?
Looking good! Have you welded the panels at the back together to fill the seams or are they just filled with bondo?
Sometimes I find it surprising how much time and money some "restorers" are willing to waste by patching up old beaten up sheet metal with new...
Excelent!
What a cool gift :)
The hinge is diy but not that bad. The sliding support is definitely factory, but is ist ford? Are there any fender skirts without ribs...
I‘ve got this sliding type rod, think every year got it‘s own type. But in combination with the 49 lid this rod needs to be slided out too far to...
The trunk handle is definetely modified but at the moment I don’t know how much. Lets see if it stays or not, I like it because it’s small but I...
Is this a 51 licence plate surrounding?[ATTACH]
Ahh, ok I though somewhere around the wheels.
What these panels are good for?[ATTACH]
The Hurst link is looking like beeing soldered instead of welded. Are there no rubber parts inside the ball joint, are they still ok after TIG...
As usual things at old cars are worse than they first appear. I guess the deck lid originates from a 49 so having outside hinges. Yesterday around...
Finally I‘ve managed to push the car from storage to the workshop first time ever since 5 years. Yesterday all of the furniture left went back to...
Nice!
