Since @Rolleiflex beat me to the punch on Zocchi's Pontiac, I'll throw in Lanny Ericson's '56 Chevy. The car isn't perfect, but it's bitchin' and...
I remember talking about the '63 Nationals with the S&S Racing guys (of which Charlie Hill and the Hill/Zartman "Filthy Forty" Willys was a part)...
That is awesome. Can't believe I missed it.
Neat car!
Maybe this is common knowledge that I just missed, but where does the name Rex come from? I've always wondered about that...
I could be wrong, but I have a very vague recollection of an early Jalopy Journal home page with a flamed shoebox (and maybe a well-dressed...
Frostop has the best root beer. Stumbled on that place 23 years ago on our honeymoon road trip and make a point to stop in for a root beer...
That book is gold. What a cool find! The TRJ article referenced above was in issue #49. It explains that many of those initial sketches were...
I spoke with George a handful of times over the years when I was writing articles about his cars. Always super friendly and very to-the-point. I...
Damn...that car needs to come back to Maryland.
Ralph was a super cool dude. He would be so stoked to know this stuff will get used.
Please say there's a video forthcoming. This is bitchin.
There was a feature on it in TRJ #48. Neat car...powered by a Buick straight eight. It was heartbreaking when it was lost in the fire a few years...
Sorry I missed you Don. I was hanging in the corner with Jon Wright and those guys most of the afternoon. Steve did get there late and dropped...
The situation with the frame is pretty interesting. It will be cool to learn the back story (aluminum frame, steel frame, etc.) if and when it...
Regarding welding aluminum, I talked to Steve about some of these construction details when I was interviewing him for the TRJ article. He told me...
Is that photo of the T wrapped up on the rollback how it left the seller's place and went to Galpin? That is awesome. Can you imagine being...
Pretty sure it’s time for George Barris’ ghost to roll in and slap the shit out of every single one of us.
Man, @Certain T, I'd had to see this thread go off the rails because you might need a polite nudge to read the room. I think you'll find most of...
Someone asked if Steve Scott is still alive. He is and is living in Hawaii. Over the years I've written a couple of stories in The Rodder's...
Important distinction there. Don't know Quality Plating, but Jon Wright's CustomChrome Plating is in Grafton, OH, not too far from Cleveland. They...
Cool video! In 2014 (I think) I had a chance to talk to Ivo and Garlits about their experience in England for a story I was writing about the 50th...
Vintage Whitney Jensen No. 5 Jr. punch. Cheap, dependable, and I use it all the time. Though I generally agree that there aren't too many...
Here are a few photos from the late Pete LaBarbera showing Project X in its very early days out front of Tony Nancy's shop. Everything about these...
Never knew a thing about that one. Very cool. Sorry to be the dumbass that photoshops it, but I wish those front wheels were tucked up a little...
This board wouldn't be the same without you @Jeff Norwell. Your post prompted me to look at when I joined. In three weeks my account can legally...
Personally I think it's kinda cool that there aren't more photos of it. Adds to the myth...and reminds me of the times when we were all more...
Yeah, but for the prices those shops charge for vintage shirts you could probably buy a good flathead. That Chassis Research job is bitchin'.
I think it was about 10 years ago that it was repainted. Here's a photo of it at the TRJ Revival show before the flames were re-done. This was...
Love seeing the stuff in the background. Was @El Jefe's Cadillac done at the same time as the Exotica? I just wondered if this was it in the...
