Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

bought this off a scrappers truck last week. must of been sitting inside somewhere but the mice were really into it. no its not a hemi.

 

Splice it!

 

I picked it up over 15 yrs ago for a Gm 6 cylinder conversion as was the norm for them in Sydney at the time ( a street car that wheel stands is a rarity over here) then the rules changed so I stored it for a latter day, my daughter wants it now so it'll be getting a CA18det conversion when I clear some space in the shed its a real nice body

Sounds great . Get it low on Wide Steels and since Ford Colour like Imperial Maroon.

 

May I suggest the Conversation option to talk build styles and leave this for photos of old cars etc. Cheers, JW

 

Here's one that I saw the other day. It may be someone's project. I didn't take the time to ask about it. The wife said, not to drag anymore stray cars home! Lol

Seen earlier today at a Christmas tree store in Barrington, IL:

 

Not what you expect to find under a Christmas tree. I guess Santa ain't a car guy, after all.

 

Maybe it's Santa's Winter Beater?

 

Here's one I spotted yesterday. I'm thinking altered wheel base!

That’s not a car, so technically you’re good to go.

 

Saved from the crusher this week

Good saves Slow Down. If that '53 isn't fixable it'll part out really well, and the bus is neat, could be a great storage shed if not a project to get roadworthy again.

 

Northern Nevada

 

I hope you put that right in the back of your truck.

6 hours from home and it wouldn't fit in the back of my old Suburban. Probably need to be a "night ops" acquisition as well, as the Feds are "funny" about that stuff. They don't want it, but you can't have it, or buy it?

 

Your right about government property. That’s to bad it has the look of a great project.

Rusty, I see you brought your sawzall. What did you come away with?

 

Sitting in St. Louis. 1959? Edsel wagon.

 

That's a 59 for sure. Sad.

 

...my buddy & I went up to get a front chunk off a 51 Nash front fender...

 

Spotted these two sitting next to an abandoned house in northern NJ yesterday while out getting our Christmas tree. Looks like a '54 Mercury & '55 Lincoln Capri.
Also what looked like a '40 Ford rear sitting next to the Lincoln...

 

Ya know, I don't think either one of those will "buff out".

 

Dang, I had to look pretty closely at the photos to make sure I wasn't seeing the same car from different angles. The similarity in colors and 2-door hardtop body styles is pretty coincidental. Even the way both cars have been destroyed by something falling on top of them is a little unusual.

A little Twilight Zone-ish.

 

One I saw this week. A 1953 Chrysler wagon?
