Art & Inspiration I love this sh...stuff

Awe sweet!!! I’ve got the little brother 1/4” but it’s buried in my other garage in my grandfather’s old toolbox

 

I will always cherish the fact I was able to visit Minder Binders in Phoenix...
Love him hate'm... still Neat to me.

 

Some of my cool old ****...I restore valve covers as a hobby when i have time so a lot of in progress pieces...
The '49 Cadillac center bolts (only made for about half a year) with original wires amd bolt on harnesses are a particular favorite of mine.

 

I hope that you guys are aware that no one can beat Moriarity at this game! You all are just pissin in the wind!

 

Oh, we're aware....but I still like sharing my little collection....I've got more just need to dig it out.

 

I love looking at all you guys' ****! It's just that I am aware of there is no Mrs. Moriarity standing there telling him "you aint bringing that **** into my house" boy! So he can live like a king and spend his money any way he wants & I am jealous!

 

Can the Mods delete some of Marks pics?
I think half of his schtuff is OT.
New Old Schtuff.
Haha.

 

Old stuff was cool. Low pressure gauge with checkered flags could tell some stories.

 

Don't worry, @Moriarity will run out of stuff to show in less than a decade...
Maybe.

 

Yeah I made the mistake of showing my wife the neat **** he has and told her I wanted some and she said that I couldn’t play with him anymore

 

I also don't, and have never had, a wife and kids....I still got no idea how he's pulled off what he's got. I do have a lot of too new to post here things as I'm into cars and trucks into the '70s, but still nothing like THE MAN ....hey @Moriarity, give me some pics of the Mono mower. Still kicking myself for not buying that eBay unit.

 

My 1962 (near as we can tell) Great States reel mower I did the whole "over restore" thing to. It works great. Shouldn't have done the blades in white, gr*** stains in the first two feet. So it's a display piece now.

 

I’m in the minor leagues here, but Prince Albert is still in the can.

 

You know these kids nowadays don’t appreciate good humor like this

 

A pair of Fog lights I've had since the early 80s and have yet to come across info on them or another pair. A post I did a few years ago: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/b-l-c-4-1-2-fog-lamps.1204051/

 

Some really neat things in this thread. Excited to see what else folks have.

I've got a few items, this Ansen horn cap was something I hunted for over a decade.






And the wheel...

 

A few things I kept out of my dad’s garage!
Spark Kings - hotter spark? Dual points…cool, early 60s electronic ignition my grandfather put together- one day will get curious enough to see if it works, hand fuel pump - looks cool! Clock that was in several cars as a kid - needed something before cell phones, a mechanical horn out of who knows what? - but always loved the sound! And my grandfather’s donkey cigarette dispenser - pull the ears, tail lifts and deposits cigarette from its **** thought it was so funny as a kid! also have the wood patterns he used to cast it! Funny the things i hang on to!

 

Manufactured April 17, 1949.
