The Jalopy Journal
I have a sealable Moroso black plastic box in my 32's trunk. I have a vent tube that runs from it thru the floor. [ATTACH]
Here's the closest thing I have to a big dawg. It has lots of rust and sucks gas even when it’s not running. [ATTACH]
Looks like a good time. I woulda went but it was the same day as the Twin Cities Roadster's (St.Paul) swap meet....and for me a swap meet always...
Post a link to the current sale ad. Maybe we can get a HAMBer to buy it.
I've bought some vintage race car parts from Marty as well as visited his home shop. Super nice guy. This place has been on my radar to visit....
I'd use it as a fancy boot scrape.
IDK (for you old guys, that's the new short slang for "l don't know") why all the hate for nicknames. It's easier than saying "1967 to 1972 Ford...
@36cab Any word on if there will be a fall swap meet this year?
Buy a 32 radiator.
$4.97 in 1961 was actually quite a lot. Cool stuff cost good money then and now.
Dang. First the old shop destroyed and now this. If you didn't have bad luck you wouldn't have any luck at all
This is all great information that I can use if I ever get my 61 Vette to the front of the line in my shop.
I'm a Chevelle guy at heart (currently have 2 of them) but someday will have a '69 Cutlass in my stable...just waiting for the right one to come...
Looks good! I really dig flaked wheels. I have them on 3 cars. 2 are vintage, 1 was new (12 years ago). Green, gold, and silver.
I've used Kasal's just outside Chelsea a couple years ago. He fixed one and told me another was too far gone.
So far I've never taken out a 3rd pedal to go to 2. But I have gone from 2 to 3. Nothing wrong with an automatic, they have their place too.
Any Deuce lovers in Wisconsin?
That car defines the 70's. I'd love to own it myself, but like Mark, I'm totally out of room. I hope whoever ends up with it honors it's history.
A 60HP axle is the perfect choice for an early rod. Good score.
If they are shipped to Speedway and you pick them up there do they still charge you for the shipping?
I grew up in a car building family, so I had access to tools and advice that most didn’t. So in the 1980’s at 14 when I started my 1st hot rod...
I bet a bull riders 8 seconds will last longer than your wife sitting in the passenger seat with those pipes spewing fumes and noise into her face.
Build yourself a collection of paper copies. They are realatively cheap, fun to search for, and ya don't need no app to view them. And it's...
I always use the long brass nuts on exhaust manifolds, with steel studs. Is anti-seize even able to withstand the high temps of an exhaust...
My groups routine is to go to the show all day on Friday & Saturday. On Sunday the guys go to the swap meet first thing, then we leave right...
So close! Gonna have it ready for GG's in Des Moines?
It's so you have to buy THEIR brand of replacement part, not the cheaper generic. Don't blame the Engineers, blame Marketing.
The distributor in my running '65 283 was so stuck I had to use a pipe wrench to slowly break it free and then work it out. It took lotsa oil and...
Let's see a picture of your participation prize.
When I think of a Street Freak, this is exactly what comes to mind. Locally back in the 70's there was an orange '55 that looked just like this....
