my first barn find/build

today i found some pretty cool stuff in an barn/garage. no car but its a start. i decided to use this thread as my first build to. as i find my first project, parts, and vintage tools ill update you guys right here.

offy intake for sbc with 6 carbs

30's or 40's 20th century welder

30's plvmb rolling toolbox bottom half. any idea where i can get the top for it?

no idead about the old drill press

ill get everything cleaned up and tested out and update you asap.

 

Nice score.

 

Don't forget to grab that fridge! Those things are absolutely gorgeous when fixed up- heck it may still even run.

 

there is two of them. one is an apartment model crosley and the other is a frigidaire "54" model i think. first auto defrost. he says both work great but the small one will shock you sometimes when you open it.

 

That intake is a score.

 

I spotted the lower toolbox before reading what it was, and I knew it looked like my Dads Plomb box that he bought new. He never had a top with it. Long after my Dad died, the local tool truck owner told me that it was the first toolbox he sold when he started out in the tool business.

 

What carbs are you talking about, I dont see any parts or tools

 

it appears all carbs have been rebuilt at some point. i dont think the carbs have ever had gas ran through them. the gaskets, needles, seats, etc... are in great shape. no build up and the gaskets are not bridle or stuck. im going to try and clean it up tomorrow.

the linkages are missing and all i could find on the net cost a ton.

 

Whatever the cost of that linkage, buy it and assemble it on the manifold. The last one of those I saw went for around $5000 totally rebuilt and working. Just sayin'...

 

Like Junkbike - I see nothing remotely relating to car parts!

 

Six more photos and you got yourself a garage calender.

 

pretty lady and barn / shed find treasure doesnt get much better

 

I got some tools and intakes in the back of my van, hop in...

 

Nice score if you can get the stuff at a decent price. Just a thought, I read your intro on the new guy page and the 6 two intake just might be your bargaining chip for your 1st project. You might be able to either sell it, or trade it for a truck like you want. You can always run a stock intake on your engine. Just a thought. By the way, nice to put a face to the name. A nice face too! Good luck.

 

ha ha haha

 

Please don't tell me the paparazzi are staking out the barns now!!

 

if theres a welder in there id friggen hop in the van haha jk

 

Only if you tie your shirt up like she does...

 

what a tease

 

Nice welder...

 

I smell something fishy .........................
Are ladies really running around Oklahoma dressed like that this time of year?

 

Where I live they do.

 

Well it wasnt that cold today. I actually put pants on to take the pic. I sure hope your not calling me fishy. Thats not being very nice.

 

Nice score on the intake the other stuff is great to. Nice seeing a girl get involved especially one so easy on the eyes....

 

WOW... so why did you bring the model along to take photos with the parts?!?!

 

" i like making candy, baking, cooking, being naked, and getting my hands dirty with old car parts and tools"

 

It wasn't warm enough to go pantsless today.I'll tell ya that.

 

Im no model by a long shot, but thanks for saying it. I took one of you hambers with me to help me figure out what i should pay, what i should get, help me load stuff and take pics.

 

Many people would beg to differ about your modeling potental. Killer car parts by the way. They look like a wicked start to any project.
