The Jalopy Journal
It was great meeting you both! There were so many around the world helping out as they could but of course it was never likely any of us would...
Thats a quote from Gene's character in the movie "Blazing saddles".
I don't disagree at all...but I've noticed the "rolling Bones" cars are built a little differently than most to at least minimize the effect, and...
Wow! Those pictures are incredible! What amazes me is that this car is so well finished and still somehow fell thru the cracks and disappeared!...
Nice rigs! Have to say those early Corvairs are starting to grow on me.
Another icon gone. Never met him or anything but it still hits hard. It's funny how someone can change how you "look" at things as a young...
So sorry to read this. Doc paid for the body Fitzee and I (along with about 10,000 others!) turned into "HAMBAndy"s Hot Rod. A very kind thing...
I work on modern cars all day long. The amount of electronics and "driver assist" built in would boggle your mind! Definitely gives you a...
Hmmm...well, if you have an actual LT-1 350 its the last of the really good smallblocks and not the garden variety smogger 350's so commonly...
I pulled the rear discs from my avatar T and replaced them with drums. Looked better and gave me an excellent working hand brake setup. The...
Proud to have been a part of this. Very sad over the situation that brought it all about. Honoured to have worked beside so many good people...
I look back on this and it feels like it could have been 2 months ago we started the build. Where does time go... God speed Andy...RIP.
They have made changes to how they do the frames since the pictures in Hot Rod. Do a google search on them and a lot of info will show up, inc...
They based it on the Spencer style for sure but there are a lot of differences. Certainly not a copy. NICE pictures by the way! Don't think I...
"Rolling Bones" built the frame for 3W Larry so its definitely RB style he is after. Heres a link to a Mag article of how they used to do...
What you need to do is check that the box is positioned properly in its rotation. All boxes are machined to have a tight spot dead center in...
That tub body, laid out like it is as a 2 seater, really makes a lot of sense for a hard driven Hot Rod T. You get leg room, storage for small...
Yup! Some of his stuff can be rough...but I'm a bodyman. I'm expected to do better. He's just learning this reconstruction stuff as he goes...
Thats a video from a good friend of mine...fellow HAMBer "fitzee".
Changing the plugs 1000 miles from home...and you can see our only trailer in tow behind us. Memories don't make themselves... [ATTACH]
Anyone suggesting this is a good idea is forgetting a very important part to the story. Any new vehicle that has a bonded panel is using it in...
Yes...but they say the atmosphere inside a tank is far too rich to ignite. You need oxygen and fuel in somewhat correct proportion. (I know. It...
While I agree with the first part I'm not really there on the second part. I've heard too many horror stories of crap reproduction steering boxes...
A buddy and myself put together a 73 Capri (built 400 sbc etc) YEARS ago. It too had narrow leaves and we ran basic slapper bars at first. The...
Motortrend for the sporty crowd...Fourwheeler for the off-roaders and HOT ROD for us. Getting back to the basics really. The work load and...
Depending on the crash...no difference or all the difference in the world. This crash of "Speed Demon" was at over 370 mph and the driver walked...
Sigh....I know. The only issue I have with it is, as safety improvements were made they were adopted and required until something better was...
NOT to defend anyone involved...but from their web page it seems they had a fully equipped rescue ambulance and a 10 person crew for rescue and...
LoL...yes...or the roughest, nastiest, rockiest off-road course you could imagine. She played at both bookends of the automotive world for sure.
I was just looking at something about this on Youtube and this popped up in the comments. I have say she seems to have been a pretty decent...
