it is actually a 50th anniversary issue of the original 16 in repop 1968 packaging. But I figured since I own the real car, why not
We had a plant that was shutting down and they told me to take what I wanted. These 2 items are all that I’m keeping. The rest of the truck was loaded with electric motors and a couple of pumps a bunch of breakers and a bunch of unopened industrial drive chain and sprockets. That stuff is going on marketplace
Junkyard haul from today. Second pic shows the more interesting bits, the AAA thing is a cutout from a trunklid, I should have made it wider on one side and bent it over like a flange sign but I didn't think of it, still neat though. The light fixture I think I'm going to use as a globe on a really rough gas pump I'm planning to stand up in the parking lot, I've seen it done before and it looks right.
Hit up the Pir (Portland international raceway) and bought some cool stuff! Lots of petrolina, tool brands like Plomb, proto and craftsman. Also scored a cool Sun Machines battery charger!
NOS Front fender upper connecting bracket. Is it 1937 - 1940 Ford? Easier to list if I know what it fits. Thank you! Bob
went to a Real Garage Sale at a closed auto repair shop. had an in with family so myself and two friends went and bought some stuff before the "open to the public" sale.
I really like that tune up cabinet and that PA inspection sign! You find any other cool old car parts or tools?
Some good scores there. Always a treat when you get to make the first pass through a place like that.
I have something like 40 Boston 8 tracks. Maybe I will see how many early Felsen hard cover books I can get
Another fun picking mission. I actually bought a bunch more than this but the other stuff was kinda off-topic so I left it out of the picture. Not sure what I'm going to do with giant GEEK letters but I couldn't bear to leave them behind.
I bought this Starliner today. I've been trying to get a hold of one for awhile now. Finally. It will be a long project though
