The Jalopy Journal
I’ve got an extra glove box door for my ‘40 Olds with a clock in it. I will check it out tomorrow…
A 327 powered Spitfire I had a few years ago…[ATTACH]
Is this for real?? So cool!
Take care of yourself buddy, if the doctor says boredom is the best medicine, he knows more about it than I do!
My brother still has my first “hot rod”. ‘41 Chevy pickup… Sold it to him when I enlisted in the Navy. Haven’t been able to convince him to sell...
The anemic 4 cylinder that came in the ‘68 Spitfire, mustered up about 75 horsepower. The 327 I installed, weighed 75 lbs more and had 300+ hp…
Gorgeous! Are you hiding an”LS” engine under the hood? Mustang ll front suspension? Sure looks traditional to me…
One of favorite toys was a’68 Triumph Spitfire I owned a few years back. I bought it as a roller, already set up for an Sbc/th350 combo and...
I totally agree. It’s this “barn find” thing. Don’t wash off 50 years of crud, you might diminish the value. Seriously? Wash it off, air up the...
I like anything different. It’s a shame someone put so much effort into building it and it’s just sitting/rotting in a field…
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Just ask me. I’m an expert at wiring a “T”… Actually , before pictures of a T I had…
Great thanks!
Jeez guys, ease up! A P.O. Removed the wheel cylinders and shoes to move the car, I have all new parts to install (including a new 2 piston master...
Actually, I never said it was a rear drum. I do know how to pull a hub, just never had to before to do brakes. I have replaced a wheel cylinder on...
I mean, the lugs have to be pressed through the hub. That’s what holds your wheel on! The puller has to pull from the outside edge of the drum.
I checked all the local auto parts stores and nobody has a drum puller for rent. They have tools for removing rotors, but I guess not many people...
Okay… I missed that the first time I looked at the dash… uh really?
Trying to get the brake drums off my ‘40 Olds. Don’t really want to shell out $150+ dollars for a puller (this is probably my last project). In my...
Makes me crazy when I’m asking for a part for a car with a transplanted drive train…
This works for me. Lifted it high enough with one shot to slide my platforms under. The front is on jack stands with the wheels off…[ATTACH]
I don’t own a nice early ‘30s coupe, but this roofline is just not working for me. Maybe a chop and reshaping of the doors, but after all that,...
If I had to cheat to win a race, I’d never feel I’d won…
Holy shit! I could spend a week in your shop just looking at all your cool stuff. It’s a museum of traditional hot rodding!
I’m going to try to list these oldest to newest… ‘23 Ford T roadster ‘29 Chevrolet sedan ‘34 Chevy 3 window coupe ‘38 Alfa Romeo replica kit car...
I never realized that these existed…
I probably would prefer my ‘40 Olds to be a 2 door, but as an almost rust free 4 door, I have no problem with it …[ATTACH]
I agree with Mitch, his prices are pretty much on the money. I was a long time collector (I still have 5), and just keep them around for the...
I went with a “super short “ pair on my ‘40 Olds to clear the steering box on the other side. Regular “shorties” wouldn’t work…[ATTACH]
Had a 62 Lark that I put a 327/th350 combo in that was quite quick…[ATTACH]
Well, at the very least, no active HAMB members are going to buy it…
