The Jalopy Journal
Digging in some old family pictures and found this old "Drag Hag" decal. Just thought I'd share it.
Yep, and heavy Chevy trucks used 322 Nailheads...wonder why. Hmmm...I know! Because they couldn't build an engine with the torque required to lug...
I was last weekend...yep. My son was sawing up a bunch of shit that was left from the the ice storm. He'd saw it and I'd pile-it...
hehe...I wish when I built the '64 Skylark that I could have done that. The Skylarks are tight, even for a physically small V8 like the Nailhead.
Dude...you don't mean it?? Could it be because...they're both Buicks :D Just playin. I did a '64 Skylark a few years ago and stripped out a...
Thats why we're here, to learn from others. I told you wrong though...I was eating supper tonight and thought, "I lied, Ford did build a T...
Not roundabout...RUNabout! :D hehehe
A buick without a Nailhead ain't a Buick..its just another fuggin old bastard car! I love the car! Oh, and the feller with the F-85...get...
here's the 30-second version
Buddy of mine has a one-owner 66 Galaxie 2dr ht with the 390-4 for sale. He bought it from the original owner ( I guess that makes it a 2-owner...
Looks realistic anyway. Even got a 2-speed truck rearend! I'd have to say that is is either a genuine runner or someone went to a lot of trouble...
Looks good...another good example of a hot rod with a T Runabout body, not a "T-bucket"
The body used on "T-Buckets" was called a "runabout" by Ford. Ford didn't build a T "roadster" or "bucket", it was called the "Runabout". Whn I...
Although I personally (preference only, not saying its a written rule somewhere) don't like glass and would rather have a rusty steel shell over a...
my two favorites. took the picture one day when I drove them both out in the driveway to clean out the garage. Both are bone-stock, but they make...
Son's car is just sitting...he's not interested enough to work on it I'm sure not going to build it for him. Maybe someday I'll just finish the...
You want a flat-black truck? Here ya go :D 26 TT grain truck runs mid-45's with its monster 20hp banger and 7:1 worm gears...top speed about 20mph!
They also didn't run 302s and 8.8 rearends :D A 40 Ford runner would have had either a flathead or possibly a very early Olds, Cad, Chrysler,...
I thought it was anyway...if a fella worries about what everyone else thinks, he'll never finish a car.
Nice car, and the T runabout body looks great on it. That's not what comes to mind when most hear "T-bucket" though. :)
funny, a fella can say "I just don't like the looks of the new Ford trucks", and it's taken in the context it is meant...but say "I don't like the...
Uh...those don't get nothing from me either :-)
I dunno about everone else, but they don't get any from me because (A) anybody with a phone and a credit card can call up Speedway and have one...
agreed...the only people that would say that is too high are either ignorant concerning the Lincolns or want it but don't have the money...
A FORD flathead six??? What you been smokin?
I use soda and media through the same equipment, don't make any difference. Works fine with either
Yep, got a '61 Econoline van sitting at the back of my farm loaded with parts. Really too nice a van to just sit and rot away, but it's hard to...
Wow...the tree huggers would love that "green" paint job! Get it running and drive it just like that!
Aw, I dunno. Wife is keeping me tied up in the kitchen, got done with the cabinets I was working on and now she wants a riveted copper hood over...
I see why I got the rusty ones now :-)
