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

I think" completely false" is the wrong way of putting it. You should have said "not completely true". LN7 NUT did say they used hearses and ambulances, so he was right there. But... let's not let one of my favorite threads become a Caddy camper trivia thread., I mean hell, I was just making a joke since I've seen several of them.

So, now, back on topic....

 

I took these about a week ago at a local yard, this is only a small sample of what's there...I was so Junk Drunk I stopped taking pictures after the first 15 minutes.

 

Local yard, lots of stuff

 

A few more

 

Found these on a trip to the Islands!

 

Don't know if anyone has posted this link before. Found this over at the station wagons forums. A lot of nice rust free west coast cars here. LMAO

hey deathtrap is that yard still open? can you buy parts from them still?

 

trust me the thought went threw my mind but i could never be one of those assholes. i figure ill just become friends with them and try to convince them to let it go

 

I know what you mean, I could never do it myself either.

See if they could go for a trade for a similar car body in less saveable shape, T parts are very plentiful in most places, you could throw together a T lawn ornament a lot easier then getting another good Chev coup body like that.

 

well let's see, these were sitting, not sure they're rotting,,
enjoy... just found these today,
i think i died and walked thru chevy heaven today,,
check the coe thread and see what else i found..
is it christmas all over again?
it's fun being retired sometimes
sorry for ot

 

camaro mother lode

 

Yep. HAMB o/t.

 

Somewhere in western Canada....

 

One could buy a bunch of good old stuff selling these camaros and parts.

 

These belong to a friend of mine. They are quietly rusting away on a farm near Herman Missouri. 1969 Roadrunner, a few 70 Challengers, a Charger, some Dusters, and a 50's International. In his barn, a 440 6bbl shaker hood black on black 70 Challenger, a 440 6bbl Super Bird, 69 1/2 Roadrunner, 69 Hemi Roadrunner, among the notable few....

 

My wife and I lived on a ranch in north Texas right after I got out of college. It was several hundred acres and had the foundation of an old historic fort on it.

I found this 26/27 T roadster shell down in a creek bottom about two weeks after we moved in. The owner said I could have it, so I rescued it.

Here's a shot of the day I pulled it out of it's resting spot.

 

I cleaned up the T roadster shell and bought a turtle deck for it from old man Howell of Howell's Sheet Metal in Nederland, TX. I was going to use it as the foundation for a project, but ended up selling it at Pate (back when Pate was out in the country at the Pate museum).

FWIW....the turtle deck in this photo is the turtle deck that old man Howell used to make his reproduction turtle deck molds from.

 

It looks better then my 27 T roadster, and mine was never in a creek, it was actually a hot rod in the 70's...

 

heres a couple pics of the 57 cad convert i saved from the junkyard in ILL. found it from a picture on internet, drove up from GA 1 day in the freezing cold and extracted it from the earth and came back home that nite. I was grinning like a jackass chewing briers the whole way home. its the same car that was in the post 805
