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

Not so much sitting and sitting, think this one still gets occasional use. But see how the shoot goes through the cab? Bit different for sure

 

Great photos of the coupe. How you gonna get that one out ?

 

Block & tackle to remove the rock for an engine, then carry to the closest track. Still in negotiations....

 

As the old saying goes, "glutton for punishment "

 

Today I found the box to that pile of f47 body bits

 

Mice never found a way into the glove box, last insurance 76

 

I would love the box/tray/tub for a project, just a little too far to get it! Australia

 

Agreed, probably try and get it along with some of the better bits out of the pile

 

Nice Blue Dots!

 

That's a dam shame for that Vette to end up like that!

 

I’m betting the frame has returned to the earth many years ago

 

Spare parts have to come from somewhere. JW

 

I remember bring home a 32 coupe about like that. But that was some 50 years ago and I was 50 years younger !

 

Why is it when looking at these wet photographs, I keep hearing a banjo playing ?

 

You got a purrdy mowf boy

 

Studebaker truck boxes

 

Walker Co. Alabama

 

In the early 70's I was in the Air Force and stationed at Travis in northern California. I found a 40 pickup to use as a daily driver, but that didn't stop my thirst for scrounging. I found a guy north of town with the same attitude. We became friends and just down the country lane from him sat a 31 Chevy pickup in almost pristine condition, sitting right in front of a very old and large Oak tree. I asked my friend if he knew the owner and if the truck was for sale. He told me that the truck had sat in that exact spot forever. The guy decided to give it to his sons, except he had daughters, then he decided to save it for his grandsons, but only had granddaughters. People were always stopping by wanting to buy the truck, but the owner never budged. Finally in 1973, while I around. A very heavy wind storm came up and ended everything by blowing the tree down and crushing what could have been a very useful truck for any one of all those people that were turned down while trying to buy it, a very long and sad story.

 

He could have given it for one of his daughters or grand daughters too...
