    That's really cool and it looks like you found the "Mother Load"

    I have a friend in Florida who's garage looks similar to the pictures you showed.

    Last time I was over there he had a 1921 Reo, 1931 Ford coupe and a was other old cars under a pile of stuff along with a few other really old cars and a 1953 Rack Body Chevrolet that his dad bought brand new and it has never been out the family.

    I kid you not it's like walking into a time warp from the 30's and 40's walking through the place. They owned hardware stores for over 50's years so there is every nut and bolt you can think of along with all the machine equipment run by a belt on an axle hanging overhead.

    He also had a few old midget cars from the 50's

    It really neat to find these old barns that are just loaded with old stuff.

    And you know,... that he will find hiding behind a pile of cardboard and forgotten of for decades a chopped Deuce 3/W body,....

    (Seriously, I am really happy for you,... keep us informed on the inventory as it gets un-earthed.)

    You'll hate me because I paid less than the price for a Brookville roadster body for all this. I just asked him what he thought it was worth...and paid his price.

    I've got to inventory it all to find out what I actually have.
