    Another dual side-mounted gennie found sleeping peacefully and rescued from the unknown.
    Funny, that tailamp and license bracket look like they were taken out of the box that morning and installed on the original stand. HA HA

    Wow, love it. Cool pic of it rolling out the barn with the toilet and sink. Too bad that plastic bag is on top though, woulda been a cool framable "before" pic.

    It seems to be headed in the right direction. If it were mine it would get a Vern Taldel/ Mike Bishop makeover and some serious road miles. I can picture it being the centerpiece of a road trip like Megan and Matt just completed. Keep us posted as it gets on the road.

    Wow. The term barn find seems to be overused... but not in this case. Awesome find!

    About 5 or 6 years ago my nephew found a Model A coup that had been sitting in the garage of a rental house in Long Beach for at least 20 years. He found out who owned it and made a deal. Actually his dad bought it. So I hooked up my trailer and drove down to Long beach and we dug the car out, loaded it up and I hauled it to Riverbank, Ca. Where his dad promptly stuck it in the barn where it has sat untouched to this day. His dad is 70 years old, diabetic, weighs 350 at least. A barn find of the future
