The Jalopy Journal
Well I will throw this up one more time to see if anyone else has any input. @guthriesmith brother got back to me right away but is running 14's...
If you have a beard nothing but a fresh air mask is doing the proper job. Respirators will not properly seal against facial hair. You cannot get...
For just doing jambs and engine bay I would get a full face respirator, inexpensive tyvek paint suit and gloves. All the toxins can be absorbed...
It was the Timbs Special. Yes it was lost in the California fires a while back. I believe they were trying to rebuild it after the fire so perhaps...
Tire mileage warranties are useless unless you can collect on them and there are lots and lots of outs the manufacturers seem to like to use to...
Unique does show 5x5 on their website but finding a place that sells them that won't charge as much to ship to Canada as the wheels themselves...
Thanks I looked there but they suggest a 4 1/4" back spacing which going by numerous threads I have read on wheels on the AACA site will be too...
Supreme wheels don't register on the hub so it's not an issue.
I mentioned that in my original post that I thought that was the case but thank you for confirming. One more thing checked off the list. I wonder...
Thanks! Now I just need to figure out what wheels fit lol.
Weld them up, redrill and tap. You can get adaptors but they look like crap. I just did this. I made a threaded aluminum bolt to fill the holes to...
And I have never had one go bad and I drive a ton for work so replace tires often. Both anecdotal scenarios that are meaningless.
I am looking to order some wheels for my 1963 Riviera and have some questions that I can't seem to find an definitive answer for. I have looked at...
There were approx. 334 million tires sold in the US last year. For blowouts to be what would be considered statistically significant there would...
Agreed but that wasn't really the point being made. The point being made was that if a paint job is too nice it's so distracting you can't...
I do, the Grease Monkey princess. Pink with black flames, pink frame, black interior, black steel wheels, black top cockpit moved back in the...
I believe this car was built by Brad Masterson. Personally losing the clam shells kind of loses the essence of the Riviera front end but other...
Sorry but this is a silly take. People pay attention to what interests them. If a nice paint job distracts them so much they can't remember other...
Ford obviously owned the cars and they sold the Custom Car Caravan to an Indy driver who died a few years later. It's not really clear if they...
Bumper looks like a stock 1951 ford rear bumper.
You can get mini pneumatic buffers fairly cheap. You will probably need to pick one of those up and then lots of hand sanding. Tape the edges so...
There are 2 types of resin, finishing (waxed) and laminating (un waxed). Not that it matters if you are using laminating but unless the resin...
A plastic lens is fit into the body so that it is flush with the body panel. They are sanded to the contour of the panel and then permanently...
Every chrome shop I have ever used has always offered both: Standard Chrome -no copper and Show Chrome- copper.
No one has mentioned it but be aware that urethane paints have isocyanates in them which are extremely dangerous to your health. Ideally you...
Did the GNRS not have an entire building dedicated to Pro Street this year? There must some interest. I know it's hard for some here to fathom but...
Platers thoroughly clean parts with a caustic bath before they are plated. Platers can't afford to have their tanks contaminated.
I would think asking here if you can do your own copper plating is kind of pointless. Only the plater you end up using can tell you that. I would...
If they are not using copper they are not a good chrome shop.
Good plating shops don't skip the copper.
