The Jalopy Journal
No you are definately not rambling. This is the best info I have found even though it doesn't sound like good news. So the chances of finding...
I was going to post a pick of the light blue one too. I think it is the perfect chop and when I get around to doing mine I will use that car as a...
That is good to know. Maybe I can sell it. I still want a stick. But that sure is tempting. It would make things so much easier. So, assuming...
I am in the same boat as you and am following this thread closely. Thanks for posting. I am trying to keep my stock driveline if at all...
That is the only way I would do a Chevy. I like it when they look period like that one. Even better that it IS period. What toploader are you...
That northstar sounded like it had a rumpety rump idle. That kinda sucks though. Not my thing.
I want a stick plus I heard the 55 up hydro is shit. I was kinda hoping to save on time consuming fabrication of tranny mounts, floorboards and...
Yeah that car is nice. I watch that show just to see it. It sounds really good too.
BTTT Anyone actually do a swap that wants to share some knowledge.
Great, good info keep it coming. I would rather have too much than not enough. I will have to get ahold of Offy. So how do these engines fit in...
Damn, that is what I need. I have been following eBay for a little while but have found nothing. Can I ask what I should expect to pay for one...
No you don't. And no it doesn't. Have you checked to see what you have there or are you still jerking it over your bike?
I am thinking about putting either a 55 Cadillac 331 or a 61 Buick Nailhead into my 49 Ford. Preferably the Cad motor. I have been toying with...
I have some really old bias ply whitewalls that my friend bought me for $30 at a swapmeet. They were nasty, yellow, and in some cases dark yellow...
I get those too. It drives me crazy. It seems to me that it happens when I use the search function and it is in place of the "&" symbol in the...
Damn that is funny! I agree though, you should make an early vette gasser. Since you are in Denver you should go and check out Streamline...
That looks pretty good. But this one takes the prize. [img]
I know. It sounded stupid when I wrote it but I couldn't think of any other way to describe them. I actually wrestled with that post. Have you...
Cool idea, but they have to be the old school fat foam rubber kind with the shiney finish.
Hell yeah, call the cops. I do not see anything bad coming from it. Best case sccenario you get your car back. Worse case scenario you get a...
Dragster here!
Hey Frenz, I like it too! I want to see this thing really bad. I don't know if it belongs here. It is kind of a mix between hot rod and...
Well you guys are making me feel better about spending money on getting mine dipped and sealed. I guess I made the right decision after all. For...
Call around. I am getting my gas tank hot tanked and sealed as we speak. $40 for the hot tank and $40 for the sealer. I just called every...
Unklechet, you should de-arch the rear springs like we were talking about and let me know how it works out.
I hear what you are saying they do work and you still retain the stock ride and they are reversable. Pretty ingenious for whoever thought of it,...
Those are basically the front lowering blocks that I used. Not worth it at all. Just cut more out of the coils. Those are hard as #$@! to...
Oh, and do you have a picture of your car? I hope the intro Nazis don't see this.
After buying the Fatman dropped uprights I looked at them and compared them to the stockies. They look close enough that you could probably get...
