The Jalopy Journal
You guys are legendary! We have Jeep 4x4's over here so they will be readily available (prolly fairly exxy) so no need for me to search. Any...
I had the same problem a while ago. After a major spit, then a beer and a think, I worked it out. It was the crap (paint & junk) on the back of...
Man, that car is friggin awesome. Now here's my $0.02 worth. My take on it is that it's a more modern style of radical custom rather than a more...
Personally, I think Falcon's are a POS. I had an AU model (2001) as a company car and it was rubbish. Having said that, they have a big...
Years ago a mate & I were out driving around & we spotted a 6 pack of beers on the footpath. We stopped and found it was 6 ice cold Coopers...
I have some old clocks, and I collect any sort of stuff from 1870's to 1920's that looks interesting. I also have a nice collection of Jokers...
Mate, FB's & EK's were the coolest looking Holdens ever. That dash is nice & simple from the factory. Depends on what you're doing with the rest...
You mean like this? Cept mine is a fordor. Louie
I get your drift there (does anyone say that anymore?). Might go up after dinner & make a quick template and photograph it. It's cold out...
I thought that as well (cept I wasn't around in those days). I actually kind of like pic 1 but 2 has something about it. Louie
I'm going to start making some fender skirts for my Dodge. Not sure whether to make them as in pic 1 where the bottom edge finishes at the top of...
Hey mate, hows it going! Welcome from the Adelaide Hills. I've seen your car around a few times. Have you spoken to the TAC guys about your A...
Why would you want to ruin a perfectly good engine by putting chevy crap on it? lol Isn't the chev OHV & the mopar a SV? How would / could that...
I've got my eye on this Radatron tacho. Anyone know roughly what year it is? Louie
Nice work. I am going to form my fender skirt panels the same way. I like the idea of the holes to stop the panel shifting. When they're...
Hey man, welcome from South Australia. Just don't mention rat rods. lol Louie (the fly)
MY wife had a Chev Monza a few years ago. We went on a cruise night, and this total tool said "you know, you not supposed to bring jap (sorry...
Remember, he's only cutting a ford crank. That hacksaw is a bit of overkill... My mate has a workbench made from a model T chassis. He doesn't...
r600, I'd be checking the position of the rotor relative to the valve timing. Did you guys fit the dissy or did it come installed? Is it a...
Haven't driven the car for a couple of years now (laid up in the shed - other priorities), but it was all over the shop. Everything is just worn...
I don't know where that name originated from, but I've always known them as a fishop; since I was a kid. Must do some research. I just got back...
Jasper, I was considering a front end swap in my 54 Dodge Kingsway, to something like a HT/HG. But then i looked at the amount of work required....
Hey man, very cool fishop. Where you at? Louie
Give it to me. I'll drive it around with a FOR SALE sign on it. Trading Post Online might be a good start as well.
I try to avoid my neighbours generally, except the guy across the street and his wife are pretty cool. He has a 63 Phoenix, a nice sounding late...
Thanks mate. It seems like it's just a black rubber coated copper wire lead. We probably have the same stuff over here. MOst likely OE on 50's...
I'm about to start getting my engine running again (230ci Dodge flathead) and need to replace the plug leads. What style, colour, lead ends, etc....
There's a bloke here in Adelaide that had like a 51 Chevy or something. He made a 2 door out of it then chopped it. It was on the cover of ASR...
Just about to get back intyo the shed and start working on the old girl. It's been cold enough here to freeze the balls off a brass monkey. So,...
