    I decided to take the day off and clean up my backyard a bit and take all of my s**** to recycling. I unloaded and recycling gave me $16.00 and I gave them $12 for the nice aluminum ladder off to the side. I was muy contento as I thought I got a good deal.

    On my way home I see a model A in the back of a truck which looks like it's headed for s****. I do an illegal u-turn and ask him to pull over and he sold me all of the old timey parts for $50.

    I've always wanted a 1932 ford 5 window coupe and I have WAY too many 1940 willys parts and now I have this, I think I need serious therapy.

    That happened to me a few years ago. It was a 8BA Flat head motor and I traded the guy my s**** load for his. Yes I still have the motor.

    makes a person wonder where it came from. the s****per may have "found" it along side the guys house who was going to build it into something.
     
  26. ****, just when I stop driving by the s**** yards around the house this post shows up. Good Job

    Looks like a 31 with the round style speedometer. Not a late 31 but either a late 30 or early to mid 31.
