The Jalopy Journal
The only one I really regret selling. It was one of the 50 original that Ford sold to racers. Sold it for $5k with spares some 30 years ago.
I am not totally sure, but I know that A Chopped Coupe here sent me an article that was from the December 1951 Hot Rod Magazine where they went...
Had a chance to talk to Jack Schafer (Flathead Jack) a while back and talked about the change in his headers from straight out to pointed back. He...
Well done! It is always fantastic to see someone bring back an old hotrod from the grave, you did a great job. You had me going for a minute...
OK, I'm old and haven't built a FE for some time, but why would someone want a 390???????? If you want a mild street motor that will never make...
Squirrel, Maybe he is talking about the inside of the car................it isn't too clear.
Great collection, too bad he only looks at them as he probably is not a true "died-in-the-wool" gearhead. I say you should have at least enough...
Not sure why you are having heating problems, I have a friend with a 52 with a 572crate motor that doesn't have an problems. Do you have headers,...
I love the sound too, but it's what goes with the sound, the feeling that you can feel when driving a hot rod, drag car, or even a road race car....
Why not go to a wrecking yard, pick up the front clip only with the motor/trans already gone, then change the springs to the D94/sport suspension...
I vote for the 351. "Belly Button" motors are cheap, easy to rebuild and you buy go fast parts at your local drug store. With that said, Ford's...
Like the Ole saying, "If it don't goooooo...........then polish everyhting". My vote is for keeping it natural..................
I would just put some dual exhaust and maybe headers, like Red's, some Smittys and drive it the way it is. Just make sure to change oil often,...
There are a handful of people that really know anything about building a "full on" Ardun motor or held records with them. One of those people is...
Just thought I would throw a couple of pictures in to "wet your appetite! The first picture is "the real deal"!
Some people have more than brains! I can understand buying one of Furgenson's new motors for that, with aluminum repop heads, aluminum block,...
This is pretty good, I get asked often enough. My usual reply is "If I tell you then I'll have to kill you", or "Why, do you want to make me on...
This has been talked about since the Alameda Air Base closed in 1997. First it was going to be developed, then the developer backed out. The...
It sounds like you are a professional and will handle it accordingly and I appreciate your comments and giving us a little more detail on the...
I believe that the flange to flange distance on 28/31 Model A's were at 57-1/2". If I may suggest one other measurement, you need to decide what...
First let me ask a question. When you initally started this project, how many shops did you go to?????????????????????????? Here is a subject...
Shifty Shifterton, My friend owns a muffler shop, and he totally redid the stock exhaust system, did away with the Y pipe, made a complete dual...
Shifty Shifterton, I have a friend with an 02 W6 and very nasty 402CI Ls-1. He switched from shorties to long tube and picked up 33HP at the...
Maybe in some cases you will notice a small difference between factory and shorties, for the most part "it aint there". I put the FPP shorties on...
Pete Paulson in French Camp, CA does along with Vintique.
All I can say is, Merry Chritmas, Happy New Year, Happy Birthday to YOU! OMG, I almost pee'd myself, that is one he$# of find, and...
A Chopped Coupe, Interesting commentary! 1966-1968 Nam G2 BEL SFC Met some great guys and some even greater ones that never came back.
If you were looking to by a "Real Steel" 34 5W Coupe today, this is what $12k will get you. Decent body with fenders, no interior/running...
kustomd, Sorry, I missed your post. Yes, looking from the back of the car, the axle attachment point should be on the passanger side, there...
Thanks Rod Rigg Fink/VAPERHEAD. Here are a couple of pictures showing different ways of making a panhard bar setup. It is always difficult to...
