Hot Rods What is your weakness - What Parts do you have a fettish for???

I have a few gas pedals. I don't need them all, I probably only need one but I don't know which one so it is good to have options.

 

wheels , intakes, and valve covers... i have about 8 or 10 pr of valve covers hanging on the wall... 7 or 8 intakes and a lot .... i dont even know how many ...old aluminum slots , 5 spoke rims and chrome revese wheels ...

 

sounds like me. i always buy in huge quantity. washer fluid, oil. and all other supplies. i have about 300 4 1/2" grinding wheels on hand just in case there is a shortage. i try to keep 10 or so 30 pound rolls of welding wire on hand, you know in case you pick up that big job on sunday. nuts bolt you name it i got a ton of it. cant buy one or two of something, usually spend small fortune and load up real good. tools, lets not go there. i buy new tools in duplicates just incase one breaks.im glad im not the only one with issues. i guess i just like to have alot of "Stuff"

 

Y-block and FE Ford stuff, especially induction systems, carburetors, and 4 speeds. Just found one Ive been looking for along time. Weiand Dragstar 6x2 for a Y-Block. Oh and I almost forgot, superchargers, like a Latham or anything Paxton. It's a disease boys, and there aint no cure, or even a twelve step program. Of course what fun would that be?

 

I collect a bunch of stuff. Since i collect so many things i dont have that big of any one collection. But my wierdest one i think is dash boards.

 

these days a guys got to specialize. lol i collect busted bolts

 

Magnesium wheels, Ford steel wheels, flathead speed equipment, and my big weakness: Stewart-Warner gauges.

 

I've got an addiction for anything to do with forced induction. I've got quite the collection of turbo chargers and original Detroit superchargers.

Wheels...........I've tried to kick the habit of buying wheels that I don't need, but I keep finding deals on old wheels and I can't seem to pass them up.

Glad to see I'm not the only one.

 

Engines, I have 11 on engine stands and four on the floor. Valve covers, I have 50 sets on the walls. All these are not "real" special but it's bordering OCD

 

I collect OE scripted valve covers, have 12-13 sets so far. I also like 5 gallon oil cans, and really anything gas/oil related. Big fan of pretty much anything mid 60's down.

 

Can't go to a swap meet without bringing home at least 1 steering wheel. All my cars have steering wheels, I don't get it. A good looking one at a cheap price I can't refuse. Maybe someone can give me some direction here. Bwahahaha. Pat

 

Vintage 6 and 4-71 blower stuff. Weiand, Isky, Cragar, Delta, Pete's. Don't have much right now but I can't pass it up if I see it cheap. Magnesium wheels and Olds rears are right behind that.

 

Hmmmm........

Butts & knobs, and here I thought this was a clean site!

 

I seem to have an overabundance of headlights, gauges & steering wheels.

 

rochester 1 bbl carbs. never have too many. dual carb ,tri carb, like'em all.
anyone selling any? lol.

 

BB Mopar stuff.

 

steering wheel on a car? thats a good thing lol

 

Ford clocks---running or not----1937-1940. Plus anything laying on the ground that is shiny, like a crow I can't pass it up. Six months later when I decide I can't use it I throw it away----It's a hobby.

 

hmmmmm really?

 

I cant pass up vintage Moon gauges or multiple carb manifolds.. I need to improve my carb rebuild skills so I can actually use some of this stuff.

 

I have (10) model A engines not counting the (2) in my coupe and rpu, (1) 9n motor, a 2.3 pinto banger, and a single sbc. I started collecting stromberg 48s (2), 97s (8), and 81s (3) because they run well on 4 cylinders. I know I have a problem, but my role model has (80) model A engines and probably as many desireable carbs you would see at a whole swapmeet.

I have only bought at prices I could resell for more $ or sell to my friends to make my purchase price back and help them out.

 

Any time I see an add that says "Model T&A parts" I always jump at it hoping that....

....never happens.

I have a yard full of crap, but no visit from Heidi Klum so far.

 

Yeah, I forgot to mention an issue I had a few years back where I was buying every model T coupe door hinge and latch I could find. It seemed like I ended up with way more than I could use.
In the end I just bought another body to use them on, crazy logic I know...

 

Ha ha...
Way to go dude!!!...

 

1932 stuff, old Ford column locks, racy 1950's fuel system parts from Eelco and Moon and such.

 

For a while it was 8-track players. I've graduated to cassette decks nowadays...that, and EG stuff!

 

I should have known a Sock Fokker would pickup on that! HRP

 

Sloted aluminium wheels. I traded for another set last week and now I'm looking for a car to put them on? It really is a sickness.

 

Inliner stuff, intakes, aluminum engine parts, bits of Model A bodies.


Collector, Hoarder, whatever; you know you're in deep when you find yourself buying parts for project cars that you don't own already.

( Hey, this would really be cool on a ..... )
