    "NEW PICS ON PAGE 3"

    Today in about an hour or so a buddy and I are going up to the hills where we stumbled across this, Iv got a battery powered sawzall, the plan is to cut it into pieces and carry it up a 100 foot rock face. its gonna be scary, plus I think there is either a bear or cougar den on the trail down that is either vacant for the time or??? Looks rust but the metal is REALY good! for whats around here anyways,

    Here is a shitty camera phone picture,

    VNCduke here on the hamb led me to it, back in the day they would push these cars off a hundred foot cliff when they wanted to get rid of them. Lots of other stuff down there, Its a real sight. Ill be taking my digital camera down to get more shots.

    Before you chop that up consider using a block and tackle set with a tarp, I've done that in the past, you'd be amazed at how much weight you can move. Take your time and be careful bubba! I'd offer to help, but I'm pretty much useless right as of late.:D
     
  10. Plymouth? Chrysler? It doesn't look like Ford from here. No matter, It's definately worth dragging out. You ever wonder how stuff gets in the spots we find it in?
    Thanks, Mike

    Just be careful man. The best part about hot rods is the danger. The best part about your hot rod is just getting the damb thing...... Good luck!

    Remember to wear your tennis shoes....

    Two guys were sleeping in a tent and heard a terrible ruckus in their campsite. One guy unzips the tent flap a little and looks out, he then closes the flap and reaches for his tennis shoes and says "there's a huge bear in our camp" second guy chuckles as the first laces his tennis shoes up and says "you really think those are going to help you outrun that bear?" first guy smiles and says "I don't have to outrun that bear, I just have to outrun you."

    Good luck, looking forward to lots of pics.

    Previous one is correct, you just have to outrun the slower party, if there are two there, one probably not coming out... playing dead, sorry if I saw a bear coming at me, I probably would be dead, chit in my pants and have a heart attack...

    Good luck, the climb itself would be fun but sawzaw in tow and that car....
