  1. ... I stumbled across a barn with a "couple of parts" that I might want. Indeed there were a couple, a couple thousand. Looks like I'll be busy for a little while :D Stay tuned, as I might need a little help with identification on a few of the more obscure parts. So far it looks like this will be very interesting!

  2. Looks like some old 409 stuff back in there!
     
  3. Looks like a bunch of boat anchor materials... I suggest I go over there and take that crap off your hands immediately before the price of "scrap iron" falls!!!

    Nice collection of cardboard as well however the recycling facilities are full of that useless material so I might as well clear those out with the crap in them for nothing!!!

  6. Hello luv, I will be deeply interested in that 348/409 stuff ;)
     
  7. I was about to post this and say "Check out my rack!!" .....

    Not just crossmembers either.... Model T frames from an old FORD dealership that closed in the early 50's from what I have found out so far. They used them as tire racks!!!! :rolleyes:

    That place wouldn't be around Highland would it? It reminds me of a guys place out in the sticks that had barns full of stuff. I still remember the guys name but can't remember how to get there!!!

    Hey Twinkle,

    Sign me up for the 348/409 stuff as well. I'm somewhat local and my '60 Bel Air could use some improvement.

    Have fun going through your stash.
