I live 20 minutes from French Lake and quit going there.No challenge finding what you need! So much cool stuff it can be sensory overload.The head man,Skip,posts here now and then.Great place to spend a day.

Skip's on some Professional car boards too, I think. Seems like a hell of a guy!

French Lake is on my "places to see before I die" list...

Here are my long forgotten 54 Austins. When I got them ages ago the four door was decent, one vert was good enough to fix and the other vert was good for parts only. I did the bad thing of tarping them and letting them sit for many years without even checking on em...tarps rotted away, weeds grew through em, and rainy Washington has eaten them away. I ran into a guy that had a vert on a trailer at the Monroe swap meet and told him what I had. I drug em out so he could check em out and take them for parts, but he never showed. They are back in their places going home to mother earth. Sorry.

Here is one that sat alongside a major highway under a tarp. I finally saw someone there one day and stopped. It wasnt for sale of course! The guy was going thru a divorce and didnt know what he wanted to do with it. Then it disappeared! I think aliens got it!

Hey isn't posting pictures here of cars that can't or can be bought

and

then not telling anyone where they are just as bad as those that say "Not for sale someday I'm going to restore it"? It seems that if you want to keep it for yourself as a "someday I'm going to buy it" Then keep it to yourself and don't post it...
It's a wicked tease! Almost as bad as the guys who park these things that are not for sale next to a road just so they can tell people it's not for sale... besides the more people ask if it's for sale makes the car all that more expensive when the guy finally decides to sell it... "listen here buddy!! I've had a hundred people after that car, so it's gonna cost you just to take a look under the tarp! I got it.. and you can't have it!
...effin Pricks.
