The Jalopy Journal
NRChopshot: Like you photography. Great eye!! I'm in Ijamsville. Gary
I don't want to use the Dynaflow and torque tube set up. Found a bushing for the crank for not much money. I guess the big question is what rear...
Hmmm.....I was told that a spacer on the crank, a '64 flexplate and a mini starter would be the only things I would need. I can pickup a '63 Motor...
I've just picked up a '64 T400 and will soon have a '60 - 401 for my '54 Roadie Riv. I'm trying to figure out just what to do with the front (and...
You're right..... next idea....?
Well, I was thinking about keeping the trans and rear end.
I've been searching high and low on the web and can't seem to find frame dimensions for a '60 Electra. So, short of buying a shop manual, which...
Chub Chub: Now that's what I'm looking for. Where did you get that pic? Thanks! Gary
I've been looking for the Shafer 8 that was in the Coker car. So far, all I can find are outside pics. I don't suppose you have a link handy?...
Has anyone successfully built a multi car intake for a 248 Straight 8 Buick? If so, would love to see some pictures and some details if possible....
Thanks for the details. I took some pics to upload, but I guess I'm past the size limit. I'll have to figure that one out. I power washout out the...
I'm wondering if it would be a bad idea to lift a braced body off the frame since the floors in my "new" De Soto are so rusted out. Seems to me...
OK, I get it......sorry I asked!
Would have is the key word. I'm planning on using a Fatman front clip and camaro rear.
I would have discs all the way around. But, is there a better choice use? I was hoping to use what I have. Gary
So, I have some '01 Corvette parts that I would like to use in my '50 for the brake system. I have a booster, master and reservoir. There are two...
Thanks Judd. I'm sure I'll have more questions. Gary
Could use a little advice. I've just picked up a Weiand 2- 4's set up for my 322. I've come to the conclusion that I need to keep my '50 all...
Well, I learned my lesson. Before picking up the new De Soto in South Carolina this weekend, I asked the guy selling car if he would get someone...
Gman, I think you are right!
Ok, for the stupid question of today. What kind of power are we talking about from a 322? I know, I know..it all depends on what you do. It would...
Jay - I was planning on using the S10 trans adapters from Bendtsons Transmission adapters. BelAir - I have the issues from Street Rodder 1997....
Great info Brad! I just picked up the parts car. It's a '54 Super. My plan is to restore "Dorothy" to it's original greatness, and rod the '50. I...
I've recently picked up a parts car for my '54 and though why not drop the 322 from the parts car into my '50. Ideas do come and go though, but...
I'm calling the exterminators....
Get good swivel wheels from Caster City in Las Vegas. I've used them on a Vette I had to roll around. Worked great for me, especially moving from...
Well, I'm even more creeped out now. Sounds to me like the spiders are the main problem, and I HATE THEM TOO! Not sure what we have here in...
Big A - Well, if you believe what the "experts" say, no....but.....I don't believe it. I picked the '54 up in Kansas and getting the '48 Desoto...
Nailhead - Your freaking me out now. Maybe I can get a "cleaning" service to do the dirty work!
JD: Well, I think you win the prize so far. My headliner looks to be holding mouse droppings. So, I guess that's better than big rats jumping out!...
