The Jalopy Journal
Keeping the zephyr theme going for a while.
Here's one I am slowly working through. Bought it from Lou at Old Stillwater Garage a while back. Been stood up for decades untouched. I had it...
Brilliant thread, just read it from page one. You're doing some really nice work Pete and a great save. Subscribed so I can see it to the end. Paul.
Hey Adam, great to see somebody else who loves the old Zephyr's and isn't shy of a little work. I was in your shoes around 4 years ago. Check out...
It's a long way from perfect, but it will do for now. I'm still enjoying driving it around and slowly finishing and altering bits. When I have got...
I've had this since 1991. 59 Dodge custom royal. Was originally a rhd four door.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The pic above is me on Brands Hatch track. This was a really good event for me as it gave me a chance to give the Zephyr some hard driving. It...
Ha ha cheers guys. I've now been using the Zephyr quite regularly for the last three years. It's been to Pendine beach races every time so far as...
I think my Zephyr fits in this thread pretty good. I have always planned to build it as a late 40s - early 50s mild custom and have achieved my...
Wow what a difference a good cut and polish makes. Your old zephyr looks really good now. I agree with the comments about lowering the rear but...
Totally epic weekend. Definitely the best turn out of traditional rods n customs anywhere. To top that they were all racing on the same beach that...
Nice buy, I was watching this one on the evil bay. Very nice looking Zephyr.
Nice save. Definitely seems the previous owner got in way to deep. Glad it's all coming back together. Gotta love these old Zephyrs. :) Paul.
Great work on the tudor Kenneth. Looks spot on in the picture taken outside. Good luck with the move to the new house mate, you won't regret...
Hey Wolf, coming from you that is one mighty fine compliment. I have seen the work you produce and it's damn cool. Interesting about the springs,...
I welded the cast water jacket on my woodburner in the house, like your manifold it heats up and cools and also has to be water tight. As the...
Very nice work Clark, well planned and executed. Pure class. Paul.
I would be more concerned about making it safe under there before I started worrying about lowering it. Those home made lowering blocks look like...
I'm liking this, looks like a cool car in the making. Nice fabrication too. I'm subscribed. Paul.
Definitely time for a bump. [IMG] Paul.
Very tidy work again Kenneth, your'e making it look easy. The coupe is coming on at a good rate of knots now. Paul.
Love it. Looks good, those 55s are spot on material for a mild custom. Paul.
Cheers Walt, looks like a good feature. Paul.
Now there's a plan Phil.
Perfection right there. :)
Looking good Mats, time that engine/box goes back in there it will come down pretty much spot on. I found that with a reversed eye main leaf in...
Thanks for the comments MUNCIE, It's only been 17 months since it docked on our shores and I collected it. It actually took almost exactly a year...
Hey Gaz your'e not alone my friend, I have way to many (if that's possible) projects on the go, got 6 more cars of our own that all need work....
That's the best one yet Phil,very period looks like it was taken way back when. Cheers mate.
Also started making the new bumper guards for the rear bumper. Still have some work on them and will also weld up the bolt holes in the bumper and...
