Recent finds and buys

Nice score on the redline!!!

 

Bought a new to me , TIG welder .

 

We had a plant that was shutting down and they told me to take what I wanted. These 2 items are all that I’m keeping.
The rest of the truck was loaded with electric motors and a couple of pumps a bunch of breakers and a bunch of unopened industrial drive chain and sprockets. That stuff is going on marketplace

 

Junkyard haul from today. Second pic shows the more interesting bits, the AAA thing is a cutout from a trunklid, I should have made it wider on one side and bent it over like a flange sign but I didn't think of it, still neat though. The light fixture I think I'm going to use as a globe on a really rough gas pump I'm planning to stand up in the parking lot, I've seen it done before and it looks right.

 

Hit up the Pir (Portland international raceway) and bought some cool stuff! Lots of petrolina, tool brands like Plomb, proto and craftsman. Also scored a cool Sun Machines battery charger!

 

NOS Front fender upper connecting bracket. Is it 1937 - 1940 Ford? Easier to list if I know what it fits. Thank you! Bob

 

THANK YOU! Off to the classifieds with more photos.

went to a Real Garage Sale at a closed auto repair shop. had an in with family so myself and two friends went and bought some stuff before the "open to the public" sale.

 

I really like that tune up cabinet and that PA inspection sign! You find any other cool old car parts or tools?

 

Some good scores there. Always a treat when you get to make the first pass through a place like that.

 

Mark, you find the top shelf stuff, for sure. That might be a hefty late fee from the library..

 

Another fun picking mission. I actually bought a bunch more than this but the other stuff was kinda off-topic so I left it out of the picture. Not sure what I'm going to do with giant GEEK letters but I couldn't bear to leave them behind.

 

I bought this Starliner today. I've been trying to get a hold of one for awhile now. Finally. It will be a long project though

 

'61?

 

The Starliner is great. There was actually one of those at the salvage yard I was at on Wednesday, pretty well picked clean though.

 

I’ve had this can up in the attic for years, pulled it down today, but unfortunately the lid is missing. It measures
11 1/2” x 7 1/2”.
Jays Potato Chips were originally Mrs. Japps but the family changed the name after WWII began. The can has no postal code, those began in 1943 so I’m guessing it was made sometime in 1942 or ‘43.

 

Yes, my favorite one.

this one is loaded with extra parts

 

Last weekends haul from the Monroe Michigan swap

 

Seller thought it was tractor. I think it is Pickup truck, but what brand and year?

 

Good question. Seems awful delicate to be tractor.

 

Kind of looks like a Chevy grille ,but I could be wrong.

 

That was my first thought, just can't find a matching photo.

I got a pair of these Clayville Foundry & Machine ratcheting jacks back in December. Oiling them up for a project
