The Jalopy Journal
^^ That one's really decked out with all the goodies. Beyond saving in my book, but a fabulous parts car.
Interesting to see the hole in the quarter. I was under the assumption that they all had one of those egg-hole brackets on the front and the rear...
Looks good! Did you end up with an extra right hand quarter panel corner piece? Looks like you had something on there that got removed when you...
I have no info to add unfortunately, but it does appear to have been a very nicely finished custom. A shame to see it sit outside with no top on...
I've heard from others that used the VanSickle paint that it's surprisingly decent for as cheap as it is, and that it holds up a lot better if you...
I did a '33 and have all of the pieces to do a pretty decent '34, and I'd have no problem cutting up that blue sedan if that's what I had...
It looks like the center tube is sleeved for width adjustability, I'd guess that's an aftermarket accessory thing. Neat.
Sweet, got pics?
That is wild! I'll be watching this one, too.
Bought this from my favorite junkyard today, had to pay for it by the pound. It's so incredibly rough, it'll take days of work just to make it...

Looks like '54 New Yorker
That's a Mopar part number stamp, the letters are for Dodge Plymouth Chrysler DeSoto.
I love it, it's a perfect fit. Lots of work to do it as nicely as you've done it here, but it really looks great.
Never heard of it. Would totally run a set of those caps if I could find 4 of them, though.
I'm not that far from there and we just got $225/ton for mixed and the scrap company did the hauling, although it was in a lugger box, that's what...
^^ those are great pics. But also kinda terrifying, with that roll bar towering over the body and still not above your head! 131!
This guy was already a legend in my mind. But taking a punch at 102 years old, shaking it off, and going back to work the same day? This guy is...
I love Blackie's car too, although it appears in that pic, his left hand is resting on his knee, which is damn near in his ribcage. I'm not sure...
"I find that while Model-T’s may exude charm in photographs, they tend to transform their pilots into contorted figures resembling monkeys...
If the scrap man will pay $400 each, why even bother showing them to people unless you're going to get a bit more than that? $700-$1000 seems...
Very sorry to hear about your wife, but I am glad that you are getting this car back together. I don't know how many times I've watched this play...
I'd finish the last 10% of the car and leave that dent in there for a while. Makes a good story, and you know the very moment you fix it, you'll...
I guess I never saw a set of V8-60 aluminum heads that didn't have the little bolt-on water manifold for the top. That's interesting.
An easily removable dash might also give easy access. Interesting stuff going on with this car, I like it.
This would be my question. I had to do a lot of work on my T so I could fit in it properly, so I know the struggle for sure. But I'd be worried...
Holy shit, that's amazing! Great history found on the car, I really hope we get to hear from the new owner. I am very relieved to hear that it...
Now that one is a steal, those bumper wraps and ventshades would probably sell for enough to cover the entire cost of the car. Those are...
I've seen those Corvair pics before, quite a while ago. There were also a few historical show pictures of it when it was first done. It was...
I like this. I've been thinking about banging out a quickie paint job on my '57, it was painted white by the high school kids who had it last in...
