The Jalopy Journal
My banger touring. This is an old project that I haven't worked on in several years. I need to get back on it.

Well, I simply quit selling my extra parts a few years ago (for many of the reasons discussed by others above). I am now officially a hoarder by...
This bug was built in 1934. Not a farm implement bug, but more of a speedster. The difference in a bug and a speedster is that a bug has a...
Amen.
I hadn't noticed the one piece windshield until you posted those pics.
That would have been a sight to see with those two together! Its in Alabama, now. Long trip for a T! ;)
Pre-war built '26 T roadster pickup. All owners documented. Built in California. Owned by So-Cal at some point in its life. Everything on it is...
It is Clint Eastwood. Good catch! http://theclinteastwoodarchive.blogspot.com/2007/01/more-photos-of-young-clint.html Looks to me like he is...
Unfortunately, no. There is a thread on here somewhere from a few years back where we discussed it. Nobody recognized it or knew any history on it.
It's not.
1930's - 40's. Cletus Clovis' custom/hot rod (billed as the world's first "street rod") was built circa 1933, based on a 1932 Ford. I don't...
Those aren't the "numbers" you need to identify a toploader 4-spd. You are looking for a number like RUG-XXX or HEH-XX. Here's where you will...
If the car was not on the road, most (all?) states do not charge you for the unregistered years. How could they legitimately? You were not...
Ummm, well, the original Grenade Inspector post was not about fake patina. The subject of the original complaint was about REAL patina.
Conflicts with Moultrie. Moultrie is much bigger. While bigger is not always better, in this case it is. http://www.moultrieswapmeet.com/
^^^^This post is useless without pics. :D
I'm rather sick of people complaining about what other people do with their own cars. Just worry about your own car. If you want paint...paint it....
The specs of the Wolverine cam do not match the specs from the 1984 TRW catalog. The TM572 that I have does not match the valve lift of either...
Ah, yes, you are correct. I had my formula backwards. Still, though, .030 lobe lift difference is the difference between a standard 428 cam and a...
.030? I think that I must be confused. Between which two cams? TM272 .428/.431 valve lift (lobe lift???) according to catalog TM272 .480/.490...
I don't have a rocker shaft assembly for it, but I don't think that should give a different measurement than the way I measured it. I measured the...
Yep, there were two GT cams. C6AZ-A (standard 428 and '66 GT) and C6OZ-B ('67 GT and 428 CJ). The measured valve lift on this TRW cam is the same...
Measuring with my calipers, I get valve lift the same as a 428CJ. Even though its listed as a non-CJ cam, looks like it actually is a CJ cam!
Thanks! That looks like it is actually a bit better than the factory 428 cam. Has the approx. duration of the 428CJ with the approx. lift of the...
Trying to identify and find specs for this TRW cam: 1-TM572 I think it is for a BBF (390 or 428 FE).
Thanks! Did Friendly Ford add the vinyl top?
According to Coachbuilt.com (Mark Theobald), DST built two 427 cid/425 hp F-100 XL's in 1964. But then, he also says that neither survives, and we...
I guess you mean this: You're right. This was so unreasonable and inflammatory, that I deserved all those personal attacks. :rolleyes:
You're probably right. Waste of time. I'm more than done with it.
