BILL JANSEN'S RODDING PAGE

And Hot Rod Index

ABOUT MYSELF

I have been into hot rodding since 1965 . My first hot rod was a 1934 Chevy Highboy Coupe powered by a Ford Flathead V8 no less,I then built a 29 A Roadster powered by a 272 cu in Ford V8 followed by another 29/32 highboy roadster with a 283 cu in Chevy V8.Next came a 1934 Ford 4door sedan powered by a 272 cu in Ford V8 ,which was sold to finance the rebuild again for the 29 A roadster with a Jag rear and 283 cu in Chevy V8 as well as an independent front end.I eventually sold the roadster to buy a1938 Ford Club Coupe ,which my wife thought was ugly so it was swapped for a 1936 Ford Coupe that I slipped a 308 cu in Holden V8 into.

The birth of my first son Matthew meant that the 1936 Coupe was too small so a1937 Ford Coupe was found upside down in a gully and dragged home. This was rebuilt first with a 1953 SV V8 which didn't last too long and was replaced by a 283 cu in Chevy V8 ,I then found a 1937 Ford Cabriolet back half in a quarry which was taken home and a for major buildup. That was about 7 projects ago

  I am also assisting my son Matthew with his 1935 Ford Pickup which is coming along nicely.

I am a member of various Hot Rod Clubs and Organizations including:

Australian Street Rod Federation




One of the aims of this web page is to assist you in finding that elusive article in various Street Rod magazines.
You all know how long it takes to thumb through all your magazines,Well this page will just make it a bit easier especially if your magazines are in date order.
I have been cataloging magazine articles for about 20 years now and I have just about caught up. Not all magazines are in this list;
 Just the ones available in Australia and the ones I could afford at  the time.
 Most of the listings are from yearly Magazine Indexes ,so if by some chance you find a mistake it was probably wrong in the Index .
For the rest it has meant thumbing through the Magazine,a very time consuming  job.
