    Just picked up a couple more projects and a ton of OEM parts. A buddy came across an old auto repair/supply shop in west Texas. The place has been closed down for years but all the NOS inventory and spare parts have been sitting around for 40-50 years or more. The parts are all for 30s-40s vehicles.

    We ended up buying everything. Now just have to pick through what we want and sell the rest.

    Here's one. 1935 Plymouth 2 door sedan. Found a 37 front clip for it.

  25. yup, ive heard a rattler before at my girls parents house, one of the scariest sounds you will ever hear, besides a shotgun being loaded. you do not know whcih way to move or run because you might step on one, after that experience i learned to look at the ground when ever i am there.

    Looks more like around Andrews or Kermit. That stuff has been on the shelf a long time, the boxes are crumbling from dry rot.
