Recent finds and buys

I bought it for the grill and bumpers. I’ll try to find a good home for the rest of this mess

 

Poor Desoto....looks like there is some good parts available on that car. Hopefully it will give other cars a new lease on life. Hopefully you got into it at a good price and can sell it to fund your other projects.

 

Had this extra steering wheel in it

and a c6 rebuild kit

 

That's cool, I think that other wheel is a 51-52 Plymouth.

 

Had to have this, condition was great, may do some cleaning, not sure. I think it is early truck, seller thought Stage Coach, whatever, it gets wall space around here someplace.

 

Guess the Egg Carton was invented in 1934.

 

Factory cut - a - way of a BARLOW ROLLER fuel pump and a vacuum tank. Looking for info on the company. Plan to do a good cleanup on things.

 

Another solid junkyard picking mission. There was a lot more than this but this is the somewhat on-topic bits, my favorite being a much needed NORS sector shaft for my Model A steering box which I plan to rebuild this summer.

 

my haul from an estate sale yesterday: P-F hydraulic body repair unit- works, but needs new hose, and probably new o-rings in the pump and cylinders, some hand tools, including a Corvette ratchet with a Torx tip that does not seem to be interchangeable, some hood ornaments and badges 2 old models that need a little re-glueing, and a bunch of old models that need a lot of work, with a lot of spare parts and decals, and an old store display of padlocks

 

Those club plaque charms are super cool, I never saw anything like that before. I'm not into models either but those built ones are pretty neat, especially the metalflaked Vicky.

 

The Corvette ratchet with the Torx bit is probably to release or lock down a t-top or removable roof panel.

 

Nice score on the AMT models!

 

So, I realized I forgot to buy the vise I saw at the estate sale a couple days ago. I went back today, the first official day of the sale, and got the vise, a neon sign I hadn't seen, a few more tools, more car badges, and another box of models that I also didn't see the first time.

 

Nice box collection! I have three of them I've had since new, still use them to store goodies.

 

37kid, those aren't just the boxes, the models are in them.

 

That makes the find really special!

 

Merc engine mounts for a y block and sbc

exhaust cut outs
And an OD shifter

 

A bolt-on exhaust cutout, I'm sure that never leaked! Pretty cool old piece though, I like the instructions.

 

It has asbestos gasket sheet material

 

Anthony, could you post a picture of the y-block mounts ?

 

I can get a better pic later if you need it. Also relocated the gen

mounts bolt to the oil pan rail and timing cover

 

Our small town has it’s village wide garage sale today.
The jack has a 1914 date on it. Have no idea what it’s from.

 

I think the jack is designed for Model T Fords, you would place it under the hub cap and lift the car high enough to repair a flat. Nice find. Bob

 

Does that jack have some kinda dog down there I'm not seeing?

 

Rambler oil! Never knew that was a thing, super cool can.

 

Guess this would fall into this category. Nos gm diaphragm from the mid thirties. Diaphragm itself is junk. But box looks great. Will be awesome when I put it on a shelf to display
