The Jalopy Journal
Really sorry to hear that. I hope yall find somethin soon that works.
I was wondering who would correct all these AOD posts...it's far from a simple slap and go setup. That being said, overdrive with the FE would be...
Keep the FE if you like it how it is. If you are not happy with it, drop the 390 out, sell it to fund the freshen up on the 302, and drop it in....
Not really...another thing A people would look for (just like I did not being a Model A person when I first saw his car) is the positive "cable"...
I may go against the grain here...but I like A's better. Yeah they lack many of the styling cues and refined looks of the Deuce, but there is just...
I recently saw the episode where they built the '52 Ford Gasser. They lost some cash on that deal at the auction...but it looked pretty neat....
It's not hard to find a bell to fit...they used that same trans pattern into the 80's...the 3+1, SROD, and SMOD all share Toploader mounting...
Wait a minute...I know you! How much for those chrome grille pieces?!? HA! Welcome to the nut house Chris. Maybe once I get done working on my...
I regret I cannot make it. Some shit came up at home that needs my attention...have fun for me! I will see some of yall at HCPU in a few weeks.
Likewise...I should not have singled you out cause there seems to be more than one person that thinks I am talking directly to them and they have...
For the last time...my remarks were not aimed at the younger crowd on here MrModelT. I drove 3 on the tree's in my 20's too...it's really not a...
Rant removed...
I don't measure myself in my own eyes by the physical items in my "stash" per say, or the amount of money in my bank account. I could lose it all...
Unless some unknown freak problem pops up, I will have the truck down there with a friend for Saturday.
I already have two.
I do greatly appologize for callin my truck a hot rod then. In your honest opinion, what does classify as traditional hot rod material? As long as...
Damn, yall take stuff seriously. I just turned 30...owned 2 3-on the tree cars and nothing I have owned has had an electric choke. It was more...
I have only attended a few shows...and the few I could attend I was only there for the day. Anymore I try to get a friend to tag along and split...
Screw Pony Carb...they cost WAY too much. Look at local swap meets. I scored both of mine for a grand drum roll worthy total of $75...and one of...
Autolite 4100.
Mark that...Rumble at the Dump is a little over two hours from my neck of the woods. Still, baring any further electrical issues I will be there...
I love the 4100's. I have two in my garage, both 600's. One is going to be a parts carb for the other during the rebuild (that I have been putting...
Oh yeah. I am planning on heading down mid-day Friday with a cooler full of yum. I am planning to camp if I can find my tent...otherwise the seat...
I would say there were very few rat rods. Then again, people tell me my truck is a rat rod. :rolleyes:
Just stumbled into this thread...talk about an icon to hot rodders across the world!!! This car was an inspiration to anyone building a budget...
Brian...you are a top notch fella. Thanks for the help. HUGE thanks for the jump from the '60 Pontiac. That car was bitchin. Matt's friend had...
I saw your Caddy...it was beautiful! I am glad yall got it patched up good. This is now on my list of can't miss shows. Very good showing of...
First off, thanks Matt for going with me. I was about to pass on the show until you came out. I am glad we went. Second, SUPER thanks for the...
