Anybody Score Anything COOL over the Long Weekend?

I certainly didn't. So, help a brother out and show us what ya' found!

 

I scored. I got someone to do all my house hold chores

 

I delivered a 61 Econoline to a guy in Arkansas and found this about two miles down the road. Brought it home for $600. All the chrome is inside the car and the drivetrain is complete and intact

 

Tweaked back from lifting my '31 on it's cowl.

 

Tweaked mine too. Unfortunately it happened while mowing the lawn. Ugh.... BUT.... last weekend I scored a nice bed for my other '34 pickup! Does that count?

 

.....Tattoo expo in Houston - got some new ink

 

Went nuts and bought a prewar-flatty McCulloch supercharger.

 

Found an emergency brake lever from a 1928 Studebaker to go in my AV8 project. Cooler than an A lever. Unfortunately I had to take two Stude trans to get it.... and those ****ers are twice the weight of a flattie trans. So now I got a tweaked back too......

 

scored some quality time with the wife & 9 mo. daughter, as well as close friends. no rod parts. oh well

 

I picked this up Friday. 34 Ford...Im still giddy about it.

 

My Dad and I drove an hour and a half and picked up this 1930 roadster. It needs some work, but it will be fun to fix it up and I hope to learn alot. I will not be old enough to drive it (legally!) for another year.

 

Scored swap meet fodder. Floor shift column and clutch/brake pedals from a 74 Dart as well as the black interior panels and gl***. Two door hardtop of course.Bought a 97 Intrepid for $50.00,took a full tank of gas out of it then traded it for the Dart parts.Got a mower from the dump,got it running and cut the gr***....

 

I scored a 364 nailhead for $10 on craigslist. And it was only a few blocks away. Good for parts on my 401 project motor.

 

Score! Too bad for the back though, this always takes a few weeks to work it out. Luckily the wifes sister is a M***age The****** so I am calling her *** over ASAP!

 

Kudos for your dad involving you in this save. Enjoy the ride.

 

I have a junk removal business and today I picked this old gem up. The lady who asked me to haul it away said she got it new as a child in the 40's. It's always been stored in a shed or garage, and even the tires are original! Too cool! I'm just doing some research on it to see if it's worth anything.

 

Bought a bunch of tools at a garage sale for cheap. Made in USA all the way.

 

found a 64 Buick wildcat at ecology,looked like an old ladys car. ******ed the nailhead, trans, and finned brake drums.

 

Picked up what's left of a late 20's he****. Filled up a trailer with all the junk that came with it...I've wanted one for a while so now I have it, but now I also have less space for my other projects to move around .

 

yup, a running 57 283 for 200 bucks

 

kinda scored a 29 nash 3 window barn kept coupe...i havent seen it yet but i was told to come get it

 

I finally got back in touch with the guy that had a Themes panel delivery that wanted $300 for it only this time he just wanted it gone so as of so far this is the free Themes score (although I don't feel right not giving him something so I am sending him the money that he wouldn't take this time, a whopping $200)





These are old pictures of it, the only difference now is that it is sitting on my trailer in my driveway.

There has been a bunch of hacking done on the frame. It looks like some tweeker tried to do a V8 swap into it and it has a 8" or 9" ford rear under it and at this point in it's life it needs all the wood replaced but hell I think that it's great material to start a tube framed something or other, maybe a hot four cylinder powered delivery for my fabrication business, who knows.

Thanx

this 53 210:

 

That Thames panel is cool. EVen has the semaphore turn signals! Neat how the styling is a scaled down version of US styling. The doors look like scaled down '35-'36 car doors, grille looks like a scaled down '37 truck grille.

 

my uship driver just now delivered a 1915 touring front half. Along with the t-bucket body I got off of phat rat, my boy and I are going to build some killer rides! http://s259.photobucket.com/albums/hh289/kelzamos/?action=view&current=DSCN0326202.jpg" target="_blank">http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh289/kelzamos/DSCN0326202.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">

 

I really scored!.....But the G/F wont let me post the pictures......

 

Not a whole lot.

Went to a BBQ yesterday, good.
Got first dibs on a set of fairly good looking slot mags so we'll see what happens there.

Today, just took a Hawaiian style chicken out of the Orion cooker - five more minutes and I'll slice into it.

Italian bread done up cheese bread style in the broiler, potato salad and that's about the end of my weekend.

Did get set up for a couple of easy maintenance items on the 32.
Been driving heck out of it lately....

 

1955 Chevy 3600 3/4 ton with clean ***le. It is in my garage now.

 

Got some surgery on friday on my leg so got to sit on the couch all weekend. I did get a bottle of hydrocodone. Good Times

 

scored a couple of blood blisters & a mess of metal shavings on my back!
also stopped for a second to make sure a friend of mine was working on his car also & he whipped out a new lower radiator hose to fit my 34 pickup with a sbc!
