The Jalopy Journal
Here's a little something I created last week. The way I see it: why try to make a bug look like something it's not, thus having a weird end...
I'm sure like most trubines, it has no bottom end, so in a 1/4 mile drag race, a regular mill would spank it. But make it a full mile race, and I...
Thanks guys. If I do end up in Minneapolis, I'd have some qualms about having a classic for my one and only car. Living in VT for four years...
Last I saw, it was in the Petersen Museum in the Bruce Meyer gallery. Of course that was three years ago. It belongs to the LeMay Collection,...
Well, don't know if I'm coming quite yet. I still have a few schools I need to hear from, but I'd say at this point, it's a good possibility. As...
Thanks Hellbound_Hootch for the PM. Anybody else?
So I just got accepted to the University of Minnesota Law School in Minneapolis (I's gonna get me edumacated...), but I haven't been there since I...
I'm a young guy. I had an old straight eight Buick mill (not a flathead, but I won't hold it against you... ;) ), and I liked it. Yeah it was...
I hear ya twofosho. My digi crapped out on me at the San Francisco show, too.
I tend to agree. And about the 4 speeds. 59 was the first year that they were factory-installed in full-size cars. However, that being said,...
Crap that's a lot of posts. As for me, well, it's cuz I only got a late model...
You got a pic of that? I'd be interested to see what it looked like.
Back when I was working at the Petersen Museum in LA, we had the GTO from the movie XXX. It had a bunch of "guages" inside that were supposed to...
Just a thought--maybe you can photoshop it in. How about a couple of French Cibie headlights turned vertically on each side to mirror the tail...
Damn, I like that. So clean. So smooth.
Let me amend my statements. I see that there is an "events" section as in the fav HAMB events and on the calendar, but I'd love to see a specific...
I love the new set up. It remedied some of my issues that I had posted about in a previous suggestion. It's made the classified much easier to...
At the GNRS (I think) last year there was a 56 Ford Crown Vic with a 58 T-Bird grille/bumper. Looked pretty sweet. Got a pic on my home computer...
The guys on Mythbusters on the discovery channel found that Coke rubbed with aluminum foil actually worked better than a leading chrome polish on...
Not to hijack here, but the rule isn't hrd and fast on the Mississippi. The call letters change over gradually in the middle of the country. In...
Like everyone else has said, amazing modeling work! As for which scheme, I really do like the black with red scallops. I wonder what the same...
El Cabronito = The Little Bastard or alternately, The Little Sonofabitch
Carl Barks was the name of the guy who wrote a lot of the classic D.Duck comics, and yeah, he did pen some interesting old jalopies. Now back to...
I've heard this bastard run, and damn if it doesn't sound mean!
A lot of these cars weren't driven by mortals... That's not to say that the people that owned them were immortal, but that some of these cars...
That maroonisgh Talbot-Lago raced at Bonneville! Not sure what year though.
You could just run a full length exhaust, albeit going around the problems you mentioned, with cut-outs to the lake pipes if you want to keep them...
Here's an idea: Run your exhaust to the opposite side lake pipes, thus giving you more pipe to insert a longer, e.g. quieter, muffler. Just...
No worries, man. You aren't hijacking the thread because it's still about incredible craftsmanship!
I just saw this page linked off of Jalopnik. This guy created a working miniature model of a triangular, marine diesel. His workmanship is...
