The Jalopy Journal
Well, there's a whole thread of something like 40 pages with pictures of "gow jobs", so it seems relevant.
Particularly when you are referring to the model T era.
No matter how many times I tell people, "It's a speedster", I have the same people call it a go-cart, jalopy, chitty chitty bang bang. Is...
Actually, you use peroxide and vinegar. That much I know.
It's a new trend. I think that a lot of car restorers think that an early auto is more interesting with original patina than a high gloss paint job.
The old saying that "they are only original once" is not true anymore, at least not in the tractor game, where many tractors that were restored,...
That is another way it could go.
Thanks. This is something my dad would have done with a torch and hand drill but I didn't get his innate skills. Two advantages I have though...
Okay, I'll probably get bounced off here for this since it's not car related but I figure that you guys would be the ones who have done it. I'm...
Has anyone ever built their own adapter to mate together an unrelated engine and clutch housing? I've never tried this, but might need to for a...
This is an interesting thread to me. I hauled hundreds of thousands of bushels of grain with a 1966 C60 with a 292. I am planning a pickup project...
It looks a lot like my Transtar, which my painting mentor tells me is a knock off of some sort of more expensive gun (can't remember what he...
I already did. It’s just like the green one above. The model A one is 50 percent larger.
I’m wondering if this might be a good replacement. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/brg-920042
John Deere used these on what models?
[ATTACH] This is identical to what I have except I currently have a quickener on it.
I see in the "Big Model T" thread that he is using a Vega steering box on its side for traditional steering. Hmmmm.
Because it is from a tractor and it doesn't have enough leverage for its current use. Here is an article about the speedster....
It's not much different than a model T Ford speedster. Front axle is model A Ford.
I want to replace the steering box on my speedster. I see a lot of Corvair and Vega repo boxes advertised online and in catalogs. It appears that...
Does it matter if the clutch cable is a little long? Ordered a standard Mustang cable and it could be a foot shorter, but since I have room for...
This is so obvious, I never thought of it. Thanks! Gonna try it.
Good to know that they all pull hard. I am going to make another effort to fabricate mechanical linkage.
Getting the linkage to my clutch to work properly is just about an impossibility. Getting good alignment is extremely hard. I was thinking about...
Not where I come from.
I'm half a country away. What would be your plan?
No I'm not a foreigner or completely crazy, but, I am planning to build a speedster using a 1928 Chevy Chassis. To make it appear older, and...
It's a clearance issue. Hard to explain.
Is it okay to run a master cylinder not quite level. Talking about having the outlet end maybe 3/4 of an inch higher than the plunger end?...
Yeah, but Johnny Gee says it's not HAMB worthy so I won't ask any more questions.
Separate names with a comma.
