    I seem to collect more dashes than anything. I've got 8 32 dashes including roadster and roadster pickup, 3 33/34s and 4 36s including a 36 roadster dash. I've got several 32 firewalls and at least 20 32 fenders. I have also tried to corner the market on 49 ford chrome round dash knobs too. I have a whole bucket of them. All of it comes from one point in time or another that i needed something and couldn't find it.

    Muncie 4 speeds and Hurst shifters. Have several completely rebuilt units ready to drop into the next project. Built lots of them from baskets of blown up parts. I really like vintage wheels also if reasonably priced.

    Say why and anything, and any early Mallory parts. Got a cupboard full of NOS Mallory dual point kits, brass condensers, flat caps and service parts. I love the graphic styling of the name just as much as the parts sometimes!

    When I owed my '50 Ford, I searched for a '53 Olds grille bar and couldn't find one. Since selling the car, I now own two for no reason except "someday I'll need one"

    I also like chrome parts still in the original boxes, like Cal Custom or Badger parts such as regulator covers, chrome pedal pads, etc. The boxes look cool sitting on the shelf.

    Really, you don't like whores, er...whorders, oh wait, gotta grab my glasses. OK, whatever, you had me worried there for a minute. :p Personally, my issue seems to be with whatever I need & can't seen to find. Because as we all know, as soon as you find & buy whatever it is, several more in better shape & for less money fall into your lap. But it never hurts to have a spare or two. Or three. Right? And I no longer refer to it as whoarding, I mean hording. Ever since I hit sixty I tell people that it's just part of my new "estate auction" project. :D

    I don't realy collect anything other than what i need for my car.
    I have been searching for a stock clock for my 39, but can't find one. Hint Hint!
    I have the clock glove box door, the bracket and can that it sits in, but no clock. Want to part with one ? it doesn't need to work, just look good in the door.:D
