The Jalopy Journal
Thank you @down-the-road!
I am old and slow but tried uploading the photos again. Hope it works this time. Thanks, Grant.
I had to click on the little hot rod symbol to get the photos to pop up.
I am trying to identify seven pieces of interior trim that look like early fifties style. The photo is of a pair of pieces with "spear" ends....
I haven't even opened the big roll of material yet but the widow (car owner) said that they paid $1800 for the material some ten years ago and I...
It finally warmed up enough to shoot a few photos of the '46. This is a completely stock old Ford Super Deluxe that was probably "restored" many...
Hallelujah!! Fire in the hole. I completed the in-line fuel pump installation, using a momentary toggle and Bosch relay. After a little...
Get hold of Bruce at [email protected]. He raced a little V8-60 in the vintage races for years. Nothin he doesn't know about the...
Definitely when drag racing was the real deal! Great photos!
I will try to post some photos this afternoon after it warms up a few degrees. Hate to open the garage door to let in the really cold air. The...
As much as I hate to admit it, I am a retired electrical engineer. Unfortunately, I worked with a little higher voltage than the six and twelve...
It has the original mechanical pump ( I have a new one if it isn't working). But I have been told that for whatever reason, it is advisable to...
I recently purchased a 1946 Ford Super Deluxe 2-door sedan. Great little (?) car but not running. Couldn't get fuel to the fuel pump. Found an...
I should have noted that the poles are on the relay.
I have a '46 Ford Super Deluxe with the six cylinder engine and 6 volt positive grounded system. I am installing an in-line fuel pump to use for...
A 1958 Ford with a '57 front clip, with dual headlights, with Watson style paint motifs, and set up for racing at Firebird. Now ain't that special!
Is that a '56 special wagon? I love the '55 and '56 Buicks. Never ridden in a wagon but they must be great cruisers!
Hmmm. Shouldn't be too hard to find an old tractor generator.
I am an old guy and remember some of us putting an 8V battery in our six volt systems to get a little extra cranking power. If I remember...
Well, I am still batting a big zero. We went to pick up the car and it wouldn't start. Had to drag it home. No gas getting to the fuel pump on...
Back in the 70's, I bought a 1965 Ford Cortina GT that had been modified professionally by a shop in Sausalito to handle better. The original...
Tomorrow, we go bring our new ride home. We bought a 1946 Ford Super Deluxe 2-door sedan. It is a very clean old Ford with the original flat...
Looking good so far. I especially like the wheel treatment. Good looking truck as well.
39 Guy - This is my wife and I's 28 AA truck. We drove it to Dayton from Kennewick, Washington. What a great time and the people putting on the...
The view with Ken's coupe really says it all. It is hard to believe that the vert began life with the same body lines as the coupe and one...
Dave - Ditto what Bruce says. How many times have we wished we could see what a proposed mod would look like. Great work!
What is really great about this project, beyond the personal part of the story, is that one doesn't have to spend a half million bucks to build or...
I have to admit, Cabong, that my skepticism was running high over the idea of Buick taillights but I have to admit, these are tits (no pun...
Great project. So who is "Nick" that works with you? Hows about posting some photos of the interior? Is this your first attempt at restoring an...
I installed rattl-trap on the floor but couldn't quite close the area around the shifter.
