The Jalopy Journal
With a name like Bailon, I sure hope you keep building custom stuff.
Sweet! You did well. I'm guessing the pics of the engine unloaded are at your place? Because I see all kinds of automotive related stuff in...
Nice save. That's still a fixable car. Rough but do-able. And the value of these things seems to go higher by the day. I'm glad this one...
Sage advice. I'd also bring a few hundred bucks with me, just in case I had to grease someone a bit to get my hands on something they might be...
The prices you'll find on the internet are the convenience prices where it's the value of the part plus the value of having it packaged and...
https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/ These guys are really good.
I had to make quarters for an Edsel once, and what I found really helped was to buy a pair of fender skirts. That way, whatever shape I had to...
There's one I've never seen before. What size wheel does it fit? Very interesting.
I already had 3, so I was pretty happy to finally find a fourth. This one's probably the nicest of the group, too.
Another junkyard trip today. Once again I filtered out the more off-topic stuff but I found some really cool hubcaps, a Clifford 6=8 intake...
These are great, not sure I've seen that custom Corvette before.
There's one local mechanic that's my go-to alignment guy and the place I bring stuff that I can't fix myself, he's $115 or $125 an hour in small...
I'm surprised there's a question as to whether that car is fixable, it looks like it just needs a front clip, some wiring and probably some top...
I think you know the answer to that, but yes, I've only ever had one pair, along with a rough but intact dash controller, and I got really good...
Until you said it above, I never actually got the Jungle Jim/jungle gym play on words. Looks like you've got a ton of stuff there, I do believe...
That's the best stuff, the stuff that was removed 50+ years ago and hasn't been marinating in a Wisconsin field for decades like the shit I...
I think they originally were filled with lead, so that'd be the traditional way to fill it in again, as long as you can get it clean enough first.
^^ Are those '57 Chevy dash A/C ducts? They look clean. Those generator covers are so cool in the original box, and all of those shifters too,...
@34 GAZ I did see that, I think it says Anglia 100e on it, it's a coupe. There's also an Opel Rekord P1 in this yard, too. Most of this early...
A cool but sad old custom in the junkyard I saw yesterday, was a '47 Chevy Fleetline "German Helmet" sedan, was nosed and decked and the trademark...
Went junkyarding yesterday. Got a lot of off-topic stuff or some that's just not that interesting, but here's a few fun ones. One old Cadillac...
I had one of these about a decade ago. 300-L, 413 with buckets and console, a really neat car. These get extremely little love, which is a...
That's seriously cool, some Christine clone builder would do unholy things to get their hands on that.
I have one of these too but with a Sun logo on it like the other ones show. Yours is in better shape, though.
I don't have time to do a proper one, so this unfinished butcher job will have to do for now, but this car is just begging to get made into a 3W...
Yes, '32 Chevrolet. My guess is the rear rods were just add-ons to keep the headlights steady, I don't think they actually rotated the lights....
I guess I always assumed the quarter panel stampings were the same between 60 and 61 but I'm not exactly sure. I definitely do like the '60 tail...
Looks like '55 Pontiac side trim, which should fit nicely since they share the same doors. Interesting to see it on a '57 delivery though,...
I have a bunch, too. The old aftermarket ones are the best and hardest ones to find, a lot of them were chrome plated steel instead of stainless...
Love the '61 Fury. It's one of those cars where, if you wanted to customize it, what would you even do? There's not really anything to shave...
