found these today andl now I'm dragging them home. the wife is going to be proud

Dang Kevin looks like you did good......Glad I wasn't around that scrapper I might of well I won't say anyway good find.....

 

Winner! 1. Is an International Metro van with the large rear door option.

 

Wow, I was just in Oklahoma on business last week. Maybe I should have stayed longer! Great finds!!

 

Chevy roadster/phaeton cowls look funny to the Ford-trained eye of a Hot Rodder:



I think it's a '29 Chevy roadster or phaeton.

 

Thanks butch. I found a couple tri fives if your neck of the woods this week to if you are needing anything

 

Nice Find

I see a hinge on the side of the abandoned car...I don't see a place to attach stanchions to attach a windshield on the cowl...it's not a roadster...besides, BigCheese327, please don't call me a "Ford-trained eye"...the only Ford I've EVER owned is a '94 Probe...

R-

 

No offense intended, 40StudeDude, just saying we're all more familiar with '29 Fords than '29 Chevies. You're right about the hinge, though.

 

Did a little research and come to find out, the flathead is a 40 merc

 

so hows the wife taking it?

 

Score!

Maybe it belongs to that very same Merc you bought as well?

 

I think I'd pass on this one:

 

There are two 40 mercurys there

 

It's rough but that doesn't mean it can't be turned into something cool.. I'd take it myself.

I hate you.

 

Really????? there is a good front end, maybe a frame, quarter panel, back window for a custom. pedal assembly

 

Let it be! It's dead!

 

I'm sure the guy with a crunched rear corner would say the same thing.

 

I bet people said the same thing to ThunderbirdEsq..

 

I normally say "save everything," But I'm getting lazier in my old age. I suppose if it's free, it's always worth draggin home.

 

Yes i would drag them home if you have the space I saw a 39 ford convert that was dragged out of a creek...it was repair and the guy sold it for 20 thousand!

 

I'm young and have a save everything attitude.
They were not free but did buy them all in a package deal I hope to at least get my money back out of them and help a few friends out with thier projects. And off I'm lucky get enough to get my olds on the road this summer.

 

Hater.

 

That's happening more and more frequently, uh?

 

Sure, It will "rub out "

 

Yep . I'll post Dr phill's phone number for you as soon as I can find it!

 

Not to mention the front bumper, door handle, and that little cowl trim piece. Good scores!


Local scrapyard purposefully puts the best old iron on top of the pile to show it off. "Not for sale!" are the words always spoken. Pisses me off sometimes.

.
Be sure and grab up all the old wheels there could be some good cash lay out there.

Looks like a 38 grill, and yes look close it appears to be cut off just behind the doors.

Hi, A long time back someone asked how to bend small brass tube to make wire covers. I found a trumpet book recently. The factory uses water with a bit of dish soap, Frozen to minus 49 degrees. The soap keeps the ice bendable. It works great. The trumpets show no disrortion, just very graceful bends. Much easier than using sand. Just wantedto pass this on, hope someone can use it.
