Found this a block away out by a dumpster

dude was gonna throw it away

 

Nice find pal!!!!

 

one man's trash...

 

I wish I had neighbors who threw out stuff like that. I think most of mine could star on an episode of Hoarders.

 

That would make a great floor pan for a ratrod!

 

ummm no it will be up in my garage...i cant imagine cutting up a sign to make a floor just not for me

 

It is amazing what people will throw away....

 

Baste it with mol***es to derust it, then give it a coat of wax, great find.

 

You wouldn't have to cut it, just fold the edges up and pop rivet it down.

 

does the mol***es thing really work...i never heard that

 

Damn-the only good thing I've found recently is a couple of milk crates for all my spare parts. Nice find!

 

dude i been on a hell of a streak here lately my damn garage is filling up quick i need to get to work on my pole barn

 

That never happens to me

 

I've used mol***as to clean up lots of bits, helps to neutralise it with 'mild' alkaline solution, stops it from rusting up again.

 

i fealt the same way ahile ago but now i have pulled all stops i stop at every house i think may have stuff i frequent the s**** yars cause people are trashing all kinds of stuff in this **** economy

 

That will make nice garage art. Im a ****er for that stuff.

 

so am i i like to think the rust and grime is its story

 

awesome find - would be great garage art or for that ba*****t lounge

 

Buddy of mine is a garbage man and a car guy. Last year he brought me a mint 57 chevy fender that some one threw out or someones wife threw out, cant be too proud, find cool stuff that the oblivious dont appriceiate

 

The mol***es does work, I made a bucket full of 1/3 mol***es to 2/3 water, put some model parts in there 2 weeks later and it was pure rust free with a coating that prevents rust. I found an old combination wrench with Ford script on it, been kicking around for 5 years since I did it and not one bit of rust on it.

 

well u learn something new every day

 

Score!

 

What a find!!
Never come across that kinda stuff here in Australia

 

WHOA! You know better than that, you used the "R" word, just wait till CornyCob gets ahold of you!

 

lol

 

Soak it in a tub filled with Coca-Cola.

 

i think thats sacreligious

 

Only if it's diet.^^^^

 

andy...now now....not the r word...i need some floors for the sedan delivery think i might go steel stop signs...haha....some people dont get sarcasm

 

The "R-Word" can be used in a sarcastic fashion by experienced HAMBers only.

That's a pretty decent find! I'd hang it up in my garage!
