The Jalopy Journal
I was at a Dismantler's somewhere around Whittier, when a car zoomed in and stopped. A Hispanic man got out and went into the office. I had just...
I know it's a pile of rusty metal that would beat you up and take your wallet. What the hell. BUT, there are some on here who could take it an fly...
Sometimes we see things no one else does. Money is only a means of exchange. If there is something you think will take you to another level the...
I was under the impression that nosed and decked, channeled over the frame, no running boards, was pretty much in line with customizing thoughts...
I know I may be thought an ass for posting this, but no one has thrown out the idea of using seatbelts. I know it sounds like a waste but in a...
I am a member of the Redneck Car Club of Hamilton, Alabama. We met once to decide on a name. Rednecks don't need much in the way of clubs to do...
I can't speak 100% for Ford stuff, even if I know that some of the Dump Truck exhaust is similar to the Ram's Horn exhaust from GM. I had a...
What kind of hammer does it use?
I'd be willing to bet good money that Pete Eastwood can tell you something about that car, if anyone can. It didn't register until well into my...
I put a pair of Hemi mufflers I bought from Blair's Speed Shop on a Big Back Window '57 Chevy Pickup, when I lived in Pasadena. It even had a...
A classic Hot Rodder's story. You end up with a good looking old Rod, only it's more in the looks department than anything else. All it takes is a...
I don't have pictures of it but, my first real car was a Forty Ford Coupe that had been channeled over the frame, dechromed and painted Turqouise....
Life's a bitch. First you buy a nice Hot Rod, get it home and take it apart and completely rebuild it to your specifications, paint and all. Ha...
I just scrolled back through the photos. Y'all can't be too bad off if you have such a nice ol' Beemer Cycle to toy around with. More than...
I knew a stripper who had a Rambler Hardtop from these years. It was red and had a splash of chrome on it. I really never looked at it. I was...
I might add my impression from the photographs is that when in working order, you will have a quite nice ride. I have been watching some of the...
Finally. I was wondering if anyone was going to mention that they were standard issue on Police Vehicles because most municipalities and most...
Oh yes, I wish I hadn't come back and looked but hardtops are a pain in the ass. I had a '55 and not only did it rattle and leak, it sounded like...
Jesus! A Sports car with Shoe-box Ford suspension? I once traded a Shoe-Box Ford and a wad of what was disingenuously called 'boot' for a '54...
Your avatar looks cool. I notice it has no vent windows. That, of course, would seem to be an option if all else turns to mud and you rethink the...
More laughs in this post than in a Donald Duck Comic Book. Yes, India seems to have become a better choice for some stuff. Even Wally World is...
This the H.A.M.B. folks. Haven't we already seen these kind of cars in the magazines that eventually dried up for lack of enthusiasm and support?...
I can look at a picture in a magazine and come up explanations out the YoYo for why I like it, or why I don't. Science is a different tiger to...
Correct me if I'm wrong but is not 'Silver' the racing color of Germany? Hence silver Porsche's, et al? And, as I also remember England has...
With wire wheels the weight is suspended from the top of the rim (literally hanging from the spokes); with steel rims the weight rides on the...
An old painter's trick passed on to me by a Sign Painter friend is to use vinegar to clean the aluminum before applying paint. (Vinegar is a...
Get an adapter for a Saginaw box, put a Cadillac Power Steering unit and pump on it. How does it work? Like a sprint car, mon. Ask me how I know?...
NJDon, I know you already know, from the responses to your post, that you have just come up with 'the better mousetrap' of product lore. Unless...
As to splitting the manifold, having been down that road and back in my day, and learned the hard way to completely separate both sides, as cheap...
The only pair I ever bought was for a production company, to go on a vehicle in the process of being completed as a clone for one left behind on...
