Wow, Ryan, I haven't used it--so I might still hate it--but right now, this new format sounds awesome. Thank you!
Bump. Guessing this one is still sitting. Prove me wrong.
Wow, Ryan, Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon, and congratulations on the little one. What everyone else says is right: ease back...
You made the right choice in keeping the divider. I'm keeping mine.
I've never heard that they were for lower-level cars. The story I heard is that the 16-inch wheels were for Fords exported to countries outside...
Wow, what a great thread!
I predict that the first print issue will have an Editor's Note proclaiming it to actually be the second issue--because either A) the first issue...
All right, guys, here's all I know: The earlier post on this Macguffin (no offense) said that Issue 1 of the hardback Jalopy Journal would have...
Yep, me too: What about Issue 1? Did I miss this? I don't exactly expect an answer, but an answer would be nice.
Finally watched this, albeit with the sound off. Awesome video. Really shows what we have become. I love those buildings, but I don't know if I...
That James Dean photo must be a reenactment. The car that hit him was a shoebox coupe with '55 Pontiac sidetrim--a 1950, I believe. Definitely not...
What he said.
I believe it's the muchly-anticipated Jalopy Journal publication. But how do those of us on the West Coast--who can't afford a plane...
Stan Betz is such a nice guy. I went out to his old shop to see him last year. Just absolutely one of the greats.
According to the Hemmings blog, they're only going back as far as the 1956 plates--meaning that everything earlier should still fall under the...
Seriously? Just shoot me! That's all the cool stuff--it's right here.
Just run that chrome cowl. That's all you gotta know! That thing is bitchen. What a great idea.
Great choices. @38zephyr, any chance you can repost photos of your car that are capable of being enlarged? I'd really like to drool over it...
Another bump. Any news on this survivor? I hope?
I'm definitely in for a T-shirt, if you get that far. Size medium? Let me know! Great to catch up to this thread again.
Wow, great story, Kevan. Sorry to hear about the shipping mishap. Good luck on the project. Keep us posted.
Okay, you win. Roth ain't here.
I agree. To me, what Roth did was every bit as valuable as the folks who turned out fully-blueprinted mills and jig-built chassis. That said,...
The vertical "sergeant stripes" are how you i.d. a '49 dash. 1950 dashes didn't have 'em--that's the only difference between the two years, far as...
Okay, I have one: this is the saddest story ever! In April 2006, I FINALLY heard about a vacant house in Orange County, across the street from...
Man, this is a great build. Keep hope alive! Also, I would totally run Firestone 6.00-16 bias-ply whitewalls on this--but, then, I'm an idiot....
This is an amazing post, and you're doing an incredible job. Keep it up, please! You're singlehandedly (I think!) saving a treasure. Great work!
I also have a set of '49 Plymouth bumpers for my shoebox, including the elusive '49 Plymouth station wagon rear bumper (mocked up here, and...
My 16-inch Cadillac sombreros that are destined for my shoebox some day, plus a set of NOS Cal Custom spinners that fit right over the medallions...
