I found something living in the carb!!!

That's gross.

 

I'd like to see Billy the Exterminator handle this one...

 

Damn, that 55 looks like a scene from the ALIENS movie!!!

 

Same thing happend on my 71 GMC that had been sitting for several years before I put an engine in it and started driving it. I still need to pull the heater out and clean the heater box out.

If you live in the country you can pretty well expect all of the above critter stories to happen at one time or another. the critters that live around the parking lot at at work seem to like to store little nuts behind the core support of the 71. Don't know what happens when they get hungry and the truck isn't in the parking lot though.

 

I too had a hard startup with my '47 one spring. Got it going, then heard this wild sound like one of those African rain sticks, gave it a few rev's and it cleared out.

walked behind the car to find

 

My dad had a similar thing happen to him one morning except it was a skunk. It made a horrible mess under the hood. the car still smells like skunk on hot days.

When I was a kid I can remember my cat dieing. It use to crawl into the engine bay and perch in the fan shroud. No need to tell you what happened when mom went to the store that day.... <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Whooooah.... reminds me of "The Silence of the Cams".

I'm a fleet heavy truck mechanic, and about two months ago a driver turns in a five ton because the heater won't work. I go out, open the fuse panel. As I change the fuse I'm thinking what an idiot driver, can't even change a fuse. I turn it on to make sure there's not a short, and am pelted with about a zillion mouse turds and pieces of sticks and fuzz from a nest. I Had to take the entire HVAC system apart and clean it. It was nasty.

 

Well at least the Ebay seller didn't charge extra for the moth!
I was laied up after a surgery about 5 weeks. My first day out and mobil I was gonna drive my OT pick up. All was OK till I turned on the heater and the blower wouldn't run. So I went home and got under the dash and removed the blower,It was FULL of baby piney squirrels!! So I guess that is how it got named a squirrel cage, aw ****. Normal Norman

 

that 55 makes me scared

 

That '55 gave me the heeby-jeebies as well. Made me want to throw up.

 

i've fired up my bike after sitting for a while once and a half eaten soft chew stool softener shot out. the package was on the fridge in the garage from when a friend of mine wasn't drinking due to "issues". i guess a consipated mouse wanted to hide it from the others. -DVZ

 

At least it was dead and didn't come crawling out to bit you !
