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

Cool stuff Badassbeagle!

Here's some more from me 'cause I'm a whore!

 

WOW! Looks like a 32 fordor and a 28/29 roadster pickup with a home made top!!

 

Wow, there are some nice trucks in there. I'm guessing the corvair with the K99 sticker came from my area

i need these bumperettes

 

thanks for the pictures, but now I need some alcohol to reassurance

 

I'll look into it the next time I am down there.

You are correct, I was shocked to find that 32 sedan, no frame, totally stripped and it had lay on the passenger side for a long time because that whole side is missing.. and we don't normally get much rust out here...

The 28 A RPU was in the edge of a creek for the last 60+ years, everyone of the car guys I know talked about it and how they'd love to save it from there, but I guess none of them ever bothered asking the land owner... because I got it out no prob, and it's on a chassis at my house right now!



(I need doors and windshield posts for it, I have everything else)

You mean this one



Are you in Northern Montana?

This was a sad situation, between myself and BadassBadger we had found buyers for all of the cars and trucks at this yard, all of them, and the owner (he had taken it over from his dad) refused to let anything leave, he insisted it all had to be destroyed, and destroyed right away... there was so much great stuff there, including this 1959 Chevrolet Stageway limo with no rust and very little damage...






It's a very long story, but i was able to save the limo, but all attempts at everything else were met with threats and stupidity... the owners dad was a cool guy, had a great visit with him and he is the only reason I was able to rescue the limo.

 

I bought this



and this



and this





For $100, the sedan runs.

while I was picking up this 41 Ford woody (sans wood)



This was also there

 

WOW. What great photos you posted. I only have two questions.

What's this and what's kind of car is it on? .....

​

and what's the LN7 that you're nuts about?

 

looks like a porthole for a buick

 

I'm gonna try to pull this one out of the woods and do something with it.

 

That is a factory rocket booster... I mean back up light on a 53 Ford (or in this case a 53 Meteor) I snagged it from the farmer for one of my projects.

LN7 NUT is the screen name I use on all the automotive sites i am on, it helps me keep from getting emails from people telling me some other guy is claiming ownership of my stuff... what an LN7 is is an oddball OT car that I am very fond of based on the 80's Ford Escort platform, type 1982 Mercury LN7 into an image search and 1/3 of the page will have photos of a yellow one, that's mine and it was rougher then most of the 20's to 40's cars I have built or owned when I got it!

I know what this is, but my mind is blank... damn... it will come to me later.

I really dig that curved radiator!

 

And you didn't offer her any money for either one of those "T's" or that Triumph bonnieville motorcycle? Dude

 

Buy it all!!

 

Yeah, what does she want? I'd take any and all of it too!

The 27 RPU looks like it wants to come home with me!

 

that crankshaft laying along side that T block has the bolt on counterweights on it.that`s a desirable item for T guys.the bed is model T with the right fenders and panels in the front for a roadster.that`s a good find too.

 

I just realized I like field cars better than show cars. Am I sick?

 

it`s hard to believe at one time these cars and trucks were shiney and new,someone`s pride and joy.if only they could talk the stories they could tell.

 

Man, this last couple of days has to be the best pix yet on this thread! thanx so much LN7 Nut. You really have a good eye for pictures. by the way, what is this little car below?



And is this the same one?

 

Thanks for the kind words!

That is a 1959 NSU Prinz, built by a German Motorcycle manufacturer, I tried to give that thing away for years and years, free delivery, and even the NSU collector wouldn't take it... and even told them i would have to scrap it eventually because I have such limited space, but those guys insisted that I keep it, even though nobody wanted it... I was sad the day I took it to scrap. But I did save everything I could from it just in case someone needed something, like the glass and emblems grills etc.

In the second photo it is hanging off of my 1957 Chevrolet crane!

 

damn i would love to have the grill outta that red desoto

 

STOP RAPEING DESOTOS OF THERE GRILLS!
build a desoto!!!!!!iii

 

LMAO!

Nice BadassBandicoot!

I honestly can't remember if there is a grill in it still... Unless it sells to someone else I might get it to make a couch out of it... there is a lot of rust in it, way more then the photo shows

 

Thanks for the kind words!

That is a 1959 NSU Prinz.........

Thanx, after I posted that I got to thinking that's what it might be. I remember them now. Cute little thing, shame you had to scrap it. might have made a neat little Gasser body??

 

Keep up with trying to buy that. Thats a score Is that in your state? Whats his story for it not being for sale?

 

Shame to scrap it but NSU cars really have a very limited following. There are tons of NOS parts out there nobody wants. I even have some NOS sheetmetal for one of the models a friend was tossing out and 10 years later, nobody wants it.
