It's that time of year when young men's thoughts turn to long legged, blonde haired, bikini clad (un clad?) surfer girls...and the old farts head to car shows before it starts raining and their lumbago starts to ail.

I would have said “on accident”, but I have used that one before. Anyway, a few weeks ago a buddy that I have known since high school because of cars sends me a text with a few bad pics of a 51 Ford with a note from the owner that was recently widowed almost a year ago. She was...

With so many customizers daring to be different, the three window conversion can be one of the most difficult modifications to attain a great flow and style.

Lets Document and see what 3 windows are out there!

There are ICONS in every aspect of mankind's achievable life. We look up to those with admiration, go out of our way at times to see them. respect them.
We in this hobby have ours to be sure. While they are without doubt, personality's aplenty, I'm not speaking to them,...

Perhaps someone else finds themselves in a situation similar to me.

Me, I'm 72 years old and over the years I've built different pre-48 hot rods, a 40 Ford Tudor, T Roadster, and still have a Model A coupe that I think is a long-term keeper. I've also built and raced a dirt circle track...

I have been encouraged to start a thread on this project; I started by putting a few pix on the https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/posts/15671913/ .
I've been trying to sell this project for over a year; you all have probably seen it in the classifieds. I decided to put it together...

Similar to the Model A thread by @HOTRODPRIMER, I couldn't find a similar thread for 35-36 Ford cars and thought this would be cool.

I'm a big fan of these cars and think a lot of us here probably are too. Feel free to share the ones that speak to you.

TODAAYS THE DAAAY

Hi all, hoping to get some advice on a 46 Ford Deluxe I purchased at auction. Appears to have had a heavy object crunch the rear end, wondering if it's worth fixing or swap parts over to a shell sitting somewhere in a field? Also if you have a body sitting in a field somewhere let me know. Or if...

Hey everyone,

I picked up this 36 pickup a while back. Someone had kinda worked on it a bit. I’m trying to fix the engine and give it a proper stance and chop. Maybe channel it. So far have only been working on mechanical stuff. I got original 1930s 16in ford wire wheels. Got them powered...

I should do some adjustment work on her and I plan to get a bunch more out of the FE..but for now.. I just drive it.
Happy Labour Day Weekend.

Came off my grandpa's 36 Chevy. Some kind of aftermarket thumb assist for turning I'm guessing. Was wondering if anyone else had some.

Gents,
This is Sully from Oregon! I’m super excited and motivated about my new car! She’s a 51 Merc that yes needs a lot of work, but she’s in my garage!

The heavy lifting is done, motor tranny rebuilt, drives well! Rear window is Hanus and is the one of the first things I’m working on...

Just wondering how many of the old guys are still here from the early days?

so, I have owned this car for 3 or 4 years and frankly just got bummed out on it. when I made the deal to buy it, I paid to have some work done it that never happened. it was supposed to come to me as a runner driver with the quarters fixed. I was given a partial refund and brought it home....
