Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

Of course it's a heart breaker to see the vette sitting and wasting away. But is it silly of me that even seeing the wagons and 4drs wasting away makes me sad?

 

nope, not silly. just a heart for old stuff. like me.

 

If you want any of this stuff, send me a pm.

 

What the heck is that thing?? Crazy lookin for sure!

 

Here's one that's been rescued!

 

Model T rear axle hub and rim free for the taking !!!

 

I have a fender for that at my place.....

 

Ron - Clean look on the 'Mad by leaving the quarter script and "V"s under the the taillights off. The '53 has a home grown finish that's going to be hard to match if anything happens to it. Hope he makes it a driver!

 

They must save the garage for the "REALLY EXSPENSiVE" cars?!?

 

It was abandoned in the Ozzie bush near Echuca Victoria.. No one really knows the history. Powered by an Oldsmobile six.

 

1927 Graham truck, but the seller wants $10,000

 

We're off to a great start,huh?! Wait a minute,,,,Isn't that a front fender???

 

The moss always freaks me out.
We just don't have that here.

 

My guess it was used for stationary photography on a Pacific atoll during atomic testing. Filming out of the back the car could withstand the winds of a nearby blast, then be towed away and the film collected.

 

I was thinking more like someone's "custom" project that they never quite got around to finishing.

 

^^ damn impressive sheetmetal work for a homemade car that was probably built in the 30's, those huge quarters don't have any easily visible seams and the curveature is very clean. That would be hard to duplicate even now. I wonder if it was ever rescued? A damn shame to see it just sitting out in the weather like that.

 

I would drive it ...

 

^^^ Long low and black with Linclon headlights and some '40 Ford chevron tail lights.
I've seen worse saved on this board.

 

These are coming up in an estate auction in Iuka, MS on May 14:








(Someone sure liked Keystones...)

 

Cool. A V-8 65 ranchero with the instrument cluster on the crate to left that should go in it.

 

Damn, I wish I could find a set of 15's for my T-Bird!

 

These have been sitting for years and have never moved or been worked on.

 

Stuff like that is painful to see.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

This whole thread is painful.

 

^ Yeah, but we check it daily^

 

We do. Its on the top of my favorites column.

 

A couple from a trip to Cuba.

 

Doesn't surprise me the fenders are gone on the 47/48 fleetline they are impossible to find good ones.

 

I have often wondered if Cuba has a problem with rust since its an island. I know its a big island but most of the old cars I see are in the cities on the coast.
