Projects Saved this from the scrap shredder today.

So I'm driving to one of our pumping stations today to check out the pumps and I remembered that a few years ago I had seen an early ford front and rearend sitting a block away. So I took a little detour and there they were but this time they were sitting on a trailer like they were going to a swapmeet. I thought I'll just come back another day. So I go and do the job and I thought to myself I have to go back now, as Im pulling up I see a woman out checking the mail (in the plastic 34 ford mailbox). Any way i pull up in my township truck and I asked her very politely if the car parts on the trailer are for sale. She says her husband was going to take them to the scrap yard but he hurt his back and hasnt been able to. I told her I would buy them and just then her husband shows up. We talked for a little and he showed me his 33 pickup that he street rodded and he says to make him an offer on the parts I did and he said yes. I can't tell you how much but it was 3 figures. So I go back to work and I can't get these things out of my mind 3:30 couldn't come fast enough. Got hem home now and I took a few pics I'm psyched. now Im thinking I might have to build a banger version of that Bell auto 33 Roadster That car rules.

 

Good job

 

Fuckin'A!! Nice haul.

 

Its all the running gear and suspension and crossmembers from a 4cyl 33 pickup and all the brake rods and pedals and a couple of gas tanks. He said The motor ran when he got it so?

 

Awesome score!!!

 

It pays to keep your eyes open!!.......NICE !!

 

Damn nice score.

 

Way to go !!! Nothin will make your day like a load of car parts. Glad for you. Hope you can get the banger runnin.

 

Thats a nice haul!

I'm going to check out a trailer in the woods by my work that appears to have been built on a early Ford frame and suspension with wire wheels, it out in the woods on property owned by a little old lady...

 

nice score man!

 

that looks like a lot of good junk...can't believe the guy was going to scrap it..

 

The guy and his wife were super nice people. He even let me take his trailer home to unload it I do have to return the trailer though(he knows where I work. LOL) I cant believe this stuff was still there.

 

As 3 window larry would say (note to self,,,,,, Hate this guy..)
Congrats
Dave

 

what was that gauge laying in the bottom of the trailer ?

 

great jarb! cant believe some of the shit people will blindly toss in the smelting pot... good on you!

 

Probably a counterbalanced crank too! Lucky deal

 

The speedo, the amp and fuel guages are there also

 

Nicely done. One mans abandoned dream, handed down to someone who will finish the job. Gotta love it.

 

Street rodders screw stuff up and we take all the good stuff they through away. Good job man.

 

wow!!!! boy am i ever jealous!!!!!

those AAA cars had V8's you dont need that old 4banger laying around! (hint hint)

 

I can't believe you didn't find it before me! It was sitting right in this guys front yard

 

Your a HAMB HERO and did a good deed and saved some good vintage parts, good luck with the new project. Very cool........................

Cruiser

 

ive been all cooped up building a darn motorbike
i know where theres a 33 mailbox though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Like winning LOTTO! Chances are there is a C crank in that motor. Hard to believe a car guy would scrap that stuff.

 

How many miles was this stuff from the Hershey flea market field? Unreal find!

 

12 miles

 

Good for you.

 

Don't let the rat rodder types get a look at the patina on that wagon. They'll chop it for sure then probably hang a for sale sign on it.

 

Good man thats some useful shit right there.Why peoplw would scrap that i dunno but your gain there loss.

 

NICE!!! Thats good stuff!
