Recent finds and buys

At least I can pile it up out of the way

I missed 2 roadsters about 10 years ago. Drug my feet. This time I didn’t

 

A much smarter buy than that "pile"...that was once a '40 Ford coupe. LOL

 

Mmmmmm
That 40

dang near perfection

 

A pair of 682-j lights

and 1 random headlight

 

What are these ?

 

I've seen them over here on beachbuggys and kitcars such as those replica MGTDs with the VW engine . Also those big VW trikes. 1970s/80s stuff. Never could understand why people use them.

 

They look to be in good shape. Maybe work lights for a wrecker . I think they are kool .

 

I’ve seen them before. I think the double ring is because the bucket isn’t deep enough for a normal sealed beam. I think they look kinda goofy.

 

I’m fixing to change the oil in my ‘51 and when I was digging out the filters I found this in the Ford box. Almost too nice to use so I grabbed another one off the shelf to take its place

 

More stovebolt junk

 

6210-3 Holley for 20
2 for the bottle of Loc***e
55 for the plugs and gaskets

 

I posted more pictures from there on the thread that is linked in my signature.

 

Old crusty lights look ok

homemade brackets. Wonder if it’s someone’s old hot rod lights.

 

I’m thinking minion gl***es lol

 

Holy regime change batman, check out that avatar, or I miss Willie…

 

Grinch with a heart mode lol awesome

 

Some 32 rails

got to trim out all the boxing
Came with a nice 32 rear x-member

 

Aftermarket off road lights , normally mounted on the roll bar

 

My late uncle had brought his 63 427 Galaxies from out west to Michigan for the Ford 100th anniversary. He gave my dad a banner from the show when he went back. I was at my folks at thanksgiving and my dad mentioned he had some Ford banner i could probably hang in the shop. Looks like it was used at temp fencing. It had two repeating sections so I cut it in half in case my brother wants part. I temporarily hung it, I’ll stretch out better before I hang it for good.

 

I was digging through the other garage the other day and ran across this display of fuses and a bunch of boxes of spares

 

And while there I found a few NOS radiator caps and what not….

 

Mark that came out looking good!

 

picked up a pair of old Cleveland high port exhaust plate heads. I’m going to put them on the flow bench as is, but I’m pretty confident that some epoxy in the intake floors, and some brazing in the valve bowls andiron side of the exhaust floors will have these working really well.
