The Jalopy Journal
Just wanted to say that this sounds like a great idea! Visiting US is out of reach for me right now, but if the show carries on to be annual, I...
I just love this car! I second the Don't lose the simplicity -approach; in my eyes the basic form of the car is now perfect, now you can refine...
x2! Welcome, and congratulations for getting an old ride!
I found some pictures that confirm, that the 50-52 PG used the frontmost mount (which is similar to the manual trans mount, but positioned...
Edit: Thanks for moving the thread here! Hi! I'm working on a 1950 chevy. I'm swapping the original manual transmission for a Powerglide from a...
I'd use the flathead also. I think it would be much cooler to keep it that way. Also, it would be a lot of work to change the whole drivetrain...
Man, merc 4-door is very high on my list of dream cars.
Your chop looks great! That regulator is a nice "gizmo", definitely rare! I'm working on a '50 that will also have a 261. It's a matter of...
Thank You, Rik! That's just what I expected, or at least hoped to find here; not so many slammed to the ground cars. Would be great to see more...
skiviskaves, that '36 chrysler looks just awesome! Also, that sounds like the right engine for the car.
Thank you for the new structure! This seems like the perfect solution for all! For me this makes the HAMB much more appealing. It's been kind of...
I bet it will sound great! Maybe you could find something at youtube..
That is so cool!! :D
Just amazing! I wouldn't do any changes to her either.

Reported... ^ To OP, sorry, I have no pics of trunk. I'm not there yet with my car, but am also interested to see if someone chimes in with...
Please correct me if there's something I'm not getting here and I'm wrong, but... If you'll use one piece glass, it will have all the same...
Good point... I've always been making square corners, because that's the easy way when cutting off old metal with an angle grinder. In spite of...
I kind of like the low mount. I that case the hood should be extended all the way down to it.
Right now I would settle for a Corvette 235 dual exit exhaust manifold to replace a broken split manifold on my 261 six .
^Yes, that Chevy is really nice. The other '41 Chevy with molded rear fenders, skirts and side trim is very cool also, although maybe I wouldn't...
Great pics, thanks! Many of those customs seem really classy to me.
What an inspiring thread! I'm currently attacking rust on my '50 sedan. Fortunately not as bad a case as yours, but far enough for a beginner like...
Bump... That must be the coolest early flamejob I've seen. IMHO it looks soo much better than the one on McCoy's car!
Looks easy and the outcome looks great! Did you put lead over the weld before filler? Maybe I'm too freaky, but I always try avoid the...
I've always wondered where the h*ll do people get air from into their cabins after removing those ducts. So, it's just that they recirculate the...
Many words are so commonly misspelled on the internet, that it's a lot of work trying to avoid forgetting how to spell the English words you...
Thanks! Same to all of you! Such a purdy girl in your avatar, Ghost of ElMirage.:p
Yes. There's some info in the shop manual: http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/shop/1949_53/09steering/9_11.HTM This kind of setup could be nice,...
