The Jalopy Journal
The roadster unfortunately had to take the back seat for a while as other things cropped up that needed to take priority. Now that everything is...
Earlier this week, I jumped back on my Model B. From what I can see, I think the babbitt and crank are in great condition. The rear and main...
I got my exhaust fixed for it and put a new hanger on it. It isn't my proudest work, but it worked. I'll clean up the welds and hit it with some...
Thank you! I like to think it organically came to look that way. The tires, shell and lights were all leftover parts from friends that I was able...
I'm a fan of that dash. I like how it bucks the trend but it isn't gaudy. Great job on the color choice and execution, the pictures of it look great.
This past weekend, my friends and I did a short cruise up to Blytheville, AR for the ECTA Spring Fling. The overcast that morning looked...
I dig it, you've done a killer job on this car.
Is it possible it's from some agriculture equipment? It's super cool either way, hopefully somebody recognizes it.
You're doing a killer job on that frame and have a lot to be proud of. Keep it up, you'll be ripping it down the streets before too long.
The roadster had to take the back seat again as life unfortunately gets busy at times. If the worst of my time consuming problems are helping my...
Here is the close up of the wood kit. For the L piece that goes in the quarter, I think I need to make a bracket for it to connect to on the...
The "tech inspection" was basically the promoter saying he didn't care but the event isn't liable for anything that happens from our dumb...
It was such a fun time, especially waving at neighbors and seeing their faces as I went by.
In January I got busy with my old C10 that is too new for here, so the roadster had to be put on the back burner. During that time I also got some...
In January of 2024, we got a nice amount of snow for our area. It was maybe 4"- 6" but it was good and powdery instead of the standard ice and...
Thank you! Thank you, that means a lot. It's easy to be excited about it when there's great people around to enjoy it with.
That's a killer PCV adapter, great work on that one
I'm awfully close to being up to current day with this, but this one needs some detail. November of each year is when the Memphis Rodders Reunion...
Oh no, I trailered it down there for the sake of time. We only had 3 days and I didn't want to turn a 6 hour drive into 10+. I guess being young...
Slow progress is still progress. It's looking good, keep it up!
I realized after that I never shared pictures of the headlight process. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of us making the headlight bar....
Thank you! I really like how you have that set up, I'll have to find me some shorty links as well. Hey, small world! Kennesaw is where my friend...
After the Georgia trip, I finally installed some front shocks. In order to make it work right, I had to clock the shock upwards and make a bracket...
Hooked for sure and bad. I wouldn't have it any other way though.
In September of last year, I made a trip down to Georgia to visit a friend of mine outside of Atlanta. After this trip, nobody can tell me that...
You absolutely nailed it, I've been missing out all this time. Thank you! I'm eager to dig in and learn about it. Note taken, I've been...
Back in August, a friend of mine had a damaged reproduction '32 grill shell that he was letting go for dirt cheap. I also stumbled across a new...
Brief sidebar because I have to brag for my friend. The weather was too nice for us not to get out and have fun this weekend. He rebuilt his '30...
Really nice work, that's exciting to see. I really like how you're building this.
While I'm putting a plan together to tackle the driver door latch area, I jumped at an opportunity to score some parts. I was able to get a...
