Hot Rods Saved some tin from the scrapper today

Great save, some good stuff there. If the Caddy won't come out easily enough, it'd at least be worth spending an afternoon pulling off any re-saleable pieces before it gets crushed, there's still some trim and other bits on that car that would sell and make you some money.

 

Rich, that's good to hear; thanks for the update on the dangly bits! K6

Rich, I've got some gmc 302's laying around. Maybe I should stick one of them in the Bantam?

 

Joe Fontana and Jim Tone are known to drive around in 302 powered Bantam roadsters. My old Austin had a 241 Dodge in it and my current Bantam has a 2.8 Ford V6. Mine are both pickups. Not a lot of room.

 

Here's a CL add in my area for a '41 American Bantam...not mine and not sure if I can post an add , but it looks very similar to me.

Yeah, no doubt about that one.

 

good save !

 

I was able to score these relics too. This is after I got them out of the woods and home.

 

Nice score there

 

yeah, I'm pretty stoked about the 37 or 38 tube axle. It had already been put in the scap bin dumpster provided by the scrap yard. Had to hook a chain to it and hoist it out with a skid steer. The guy was trying to tell me he had a better trailer axle than this one for me.. haha. I told him this one would be just fine.

 

That T bucket frame looks like the kind of economy kit T frame that was advertised in some of the car mags.
