The Jalopy Journal
Thanks, must've missed that one... very cool :cool: Glen.
I’m looking forward to seeing how you glass those in. However, have you thought of attaching them with screws/nuts & bolts/rivets so that they...
I love the Cal Custom scoop on this. I had one on my C-Cab in the 80s and would like to get one for a future build. The red one looks nice too....
That's when I owned it. It came 3rd in the commercial class of the show. Here's a photo of it from the show... [ATTACH] Glen.
The Revolting was actually painted in Challenge petrol station colours, the guy that got it off me owned the Brougham Street Challenge. He also...
That's great news. I really like the look of your C-Cab. I love C-Cabs and had a couple back in the 1980s... think I mentioned them already. One...
The next rodders breakfast is this coming Sunday... just in case you've forgotten :) Glen.
Cool. Hopefully I'll get to see it at the next rodders breakfast in town... assuming the weather's good of course. :rolleyes: Glen.
I agree. Perhaps something like this... [ATTACH] Glen.
I did another version by putting your original photo over themoose’s one and erasing just the top half of the body line. I also darkened the...
Here you go... [ATTACH] No excuses now :p Glen.
Many years ago, a bloke here in New Zealand made his own brass cowl and tail lights for his T-Bucket. He used pieces from brass bed ends. I found...
I see me having some dealings with Drew in the future... all going well. I presume he custom makes those adapters for other hubs too? Not sure...
Great stuff. I've been watching @IronTrap on YouTube for a few years and always look forward to seeing new videos. I'll be watching the 'off the...
Very cool find. I really like C-Cabs. I had a couple in the 1980s, one of which is now a T-Bucket and the other is being rebuilt. Glen.
That's cool. As a matter of interest... what would you pay for something like that in the USA? Here in New Zealand it'd probably be about...
Hoot, loon and stinker. :D
The slot on the kingpin where the locator pin lines up with is the issue. I think the length is the same, or very close, but that slot being in a...
@Mikel50 I've been watching your youtube channel for over a year... maybe two... and love it. Really looking forward to seeing this roadster come...
Thanks for that comparison photo… it really shows the difference in length. It looks doable for someone with machining skills and equipment, but...
Thanks for all the replies… much appreciated. @alchemy - I hear what you’re saying and get it, but I have the Model A spindles and King Pins and...
You are correct, no lathe or other fancy tools, so I’ll keep a lookout for 48-51 f100 brakes, but I doubt they’ll be $50 here in New Zealand....
I think I understand what you’re saying… Your concern is the length of the Model A spindle compared to the Customline one, where the bearings sit...
I've done as you suggested... thanks for that. Let's see if anyone has any advice on this adaptation. Glen.
I have a question regarding 1956 Ford Customline brakes. Can they be adapted to fit on Model A spindles? Have any of you done it? I’ve searched...
Have you found it yet? If not, perhaps give a few more clues to go on. Was the film Black & White or Colour? When do you think it was filmed,...
^^^ Looks like the one that @IronTrap have. I thinks it's already been put up in this thread, but here's the youtube video again... [MEDIA] Glen.

Another thought… cut the tip off the bullet, mount the speedo, then put the tip of the bullet back on with a hinge. You could then open it to...
What might be quite cool, and very 60s-ish (I think), would be to make a clear bullet shaped bubble to go over the front of the speedo so that the...
