The Jalopy Journal
some old pics, and a couple of final photos
Boy its thick up in here! 'Traditional' right? drive em, right? work on em, right? This car is all of that, and yes, I am quite proud to say that...
All I can say, is WOW. Holy shit, these guys nailed it, I wanted Bobby to take the lead, and between him, Patrick, Luke, Rocco, Joyo and the...
Lance had the car there this year, and John Fitch as well to commemorate the anniversary! The car was recently restored by another friend, Kevin...
Yep, good call it is a LeBaron bodied car. They are slick, have a good cross of looks from the 36-40 fords, but much bigger in person than those...
Hey, the car really needed to be re-done, the pic in the thread looks good, but it is deceiving, the paint was bad, many repaints in its life, and...
yups, I picked up the Von Dutch Lathe, nailhead dragster, and the Lincoln V12 intake. Prices were awfully low for most of that stuff. good deals....
bingo! nice job Brian!
I'll take 2 spaces for the metal class.
Here are a few pics of my carson top that a friend up in NH just built for me. He builds them custom and can do whatever style you would desire....
Again, thanks guys for your input. I did not post this looking to 'gain support' from the HAMB, like I said above, it is strictly information, do...
Chopped Tudor, I appreciate your desire to help in the situation, but I called to cancel this order before Brookville was working on it, you even...
thanks again guys. I did talk to Brookville, they were unaware of any desire to cancel the order, and it must be dealt with through the dealer,...
Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. I had never considered buying direct from Brookville, just assumed they were like most major suppliers...
Today I posted an honest response about how I was dealt with by Streamline, to be fair they did call me, but others had also replied and chimed in...
I have the '48 now, and taking quite good care of it. I'd like to hear more about it, I have some of the original pictures from the chop etc. But...
Thanks for the info, it is for a 3-window coupe. I'll check out Danny's website this afternoon, pricey stuff, I can't believe someone has not...
Like drillin for oil? Anyone know if there are repro steel ones out there in the works or available now? Seems like they are tough to find, don't...
My truck is a '32 - I ended up buying a 34 cab just for the doors, ended up using the nice kicked out firewall from it too. The doors are better,...
I just ordered up a fat roll of the stuff, sounds exactly like what I have been needing!
hey man, thanks for the words. that's my ride. I may take it to goodguys, might take sumthin else, not real decided yet. -chris
a much better show than Dallas Autorama usually. I'll be taking my truck down there this year.
hey, yeah the seats are off eBay, paid a small fortune for the bastards, but they sure are comfortable, surprising - and all I got for cushion is...
I know it is not the most 'traditional' approach, but it is cool nonetheless, looks better with the aluminum stacks and aircleaners like my truck....
I sprayed on Lizard Skin, used the ceramic insulation first, then sprayed the sound deadner over that. Looks pretty sweet to me, like the truck...
well. when I say rebuilt, i mean torn down and cleaned, then re-assembled. with some upgrades along the way. HOWEVER, i did not touch the oil...
hey guys. this is what the hamb is for. I just rebuilt a SBC 400 for my truck, runs killer. problem is, I have less than 5lbs of oil pressure. I...
I bought 2 cabs, neither of them had window channels, I did not really want windows in the truck, generally too damned hot for em here anyhow, so...
So far about half the washers are just plain copper washers, the rest are drilled pennies, I got in a hurry to get the dash on so I could drive...
Well, I have been anxious to post the finished photos of my ride, but I guess shit happens and we never really finish. The only thing I REALLY...
