The Jalopy Journal
^^^^^^^^^The guy with no intro is right.:D;) Try sharpening the Tungsten again on the grinding wheel. Point it up and down with the wheel, NOT...
Alright...I know this may sound wierd, and some N.C.'ers may not agree, but there is/was a Chinese food restaurant in a little strip mall in...
The HAMB is not limited to a certain year (that I know of) as long as it is within reason (you know what I mean...this isn't a muscle car board)....
Having not seen the other two cars or even the entirety of the truck, I'd go with the truck. It seems to straddle the line of custom and hot rod...
Tell them, "Sorry I forgot I was building it with my money to suit YOU." Really, you shouldn't care if anybody but you thinks it's boss. Enjoy...
I see Swanx! CA shows are soo much better than IN shows. Thanks for sharing the pics. Top notch.
Where's Mr. Fields? He has one that if he gets tired of crawling in & out of, I'd be more than happy to try to take off his hands! I'll supply a...
Also something about forged or cast...I don't know if that was addressed.
Hey...we met him a while back. Real solid guy! Happy B-Day MrGasser!
I figured...I used to live in Abilene...talk about few and far between!;)
Wait a minute...Wylie? The one by D/FW or Abilene?
No problem...I thought I had another one around here somewhere, or maybe I heard it from some old timer but word is hot water is enough to form...
Got it up. Basically if you were to fashion the sheet metal with a round bar frame, you could make your own bucket and paint it white for extra...
I have it ready. I think the ones they have in the article are more lincoln-esque but if you could wrap your mind around making a Packard style...
Wow. A couple days ago someone mentioned something about "zombie" threads and the record for how long between posts and I gotta say...this HAS to...
This is gonna turn into the "Cavalcade of Cutting Devices"!
Again, like the others, this is my opinion. If you look at the rear window area the window, once installed, will appear to "bubble" out above the...
Fantastic!
I may have missed it but what does the "clippings deflector" look like, if there be one, yet? Maybe something plexi-glass molded?:D
The creepy part is that if you look at that picture long enough...you wonder where on the body it is located.:eek:
Rod it. It's your buddy's rig, right?, so of course it's up to him. I dig it the way it sits but I'd do subtle stuff to it.....for now....
I'd say anything that is original, mechanically sound, and would stay that way without trouble for the next 5 years would be too nice to "hot...
This is inspiring enough to start a thread of automotive related containers. I don't know what it is you have but I know we're into old Snake...

Maybe the old dude realized instead of purchasing the "New" Dodge, he could have had something that really cooks!!:)
It seems I've seen a "head-on" shot from that day. I may be confused with the one like that they took on the salt, but I recall seeing pavement....
I gotta say, I can't see much of a difference in these pics...I wish I had either front or back in front of me.:( [IMG] [IMG]
I think you answered it in your other thread...or maybe it was someone else. '55 Buick gauges.
I feel I gotta post this as I feel it somewhat relates on some tangent. I got the biggest kick out of reading this and feel like these folks would...
