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

Sheeeesh!!!!

It's a joke.... get it!

 

I am sorry no insult intended.

Here is one of my favorite N. Rockwell.

 

Covico steering wheels,American Racing magnesium wheels,big letter Hurst handles...ect. Cheap ones only;hence I havn`t bought any lately!

 

60-61 C10 hoods and anything chrome

 

Old heaters, steering wheels, art-deco marker lights, WWII aircraft parts, Wide 5 wheels....mmmmm wide 5's

 

I like T and A....I mean T's and A's.........hee hee

 

With some of the stuff I've collected over the years I figure I may need to start uncollecting and down size.


I sold some stuff on ebay a while back which kinder helped but mostly it was the small stuff.

One sale of something big and you notice the space that you free up.
Similarly, with collecting stuff, if they are larger items, next thing you know you got no place to work on stuff.

 

I like to buy 33-34 Ford coupe parts, they hare stored every where in my home.

 

Im a sucker for old guage clusters

 

Ford wire and wide five wheels

 

If you asked my old lady she'd say I collect everything.......But I guess anything flathead would be my soft spot ....

 

supercharged Oldsmobile engines

running a 4-71 blown 303,
got most of what I need to make a McCulloch work on a 324 in one project
a 6-71 blown 371 in another project
and have a line on a 6-71 blown 394 for a project I don't even have yet

 

40 ford clocks, gauge clusters and dashes. Have way more than I can ever use but still keep buying them--must be nuts.

 

alum intakes and carbs. I have 3 intakes and 5- 4bbl carbs all for one car. they are at least different cfm , brand or style. I also have enough parts to build 3 complete engines for my AMX so I guess engines are also my weakness.

 

i collect alot of stuff used to collect more when i had a better paying job but now.. i buy small parts for cars that i dont have but would love to own that find at swap meets for under 10.00 or so parts like hood ornaments, headlight/tailight bezels grilles and other stuff

the prizes of my small parts colection are the grille bezel from a58 edsel,the grille from a 55 chevy the driver side corner of a 57 chevy front bumper and apair of 40 ford tailight bezels

 

G'day all, I guess my main obsession is Chevy V8's and trim parts. I honestly don't know how many engine blocks I have. We have had to start keeping them in van bodies. Both small block and big block. From 1955 265 to 2002 8.1 and everything in between.

I also have a thing for ram style intakes including several different cross rams for small block and big block and even 3 sy1 smokey rams. One of the sy1's has never been used and came from the Smokey Yunick estate auction. Told my wife she would have to bury me with that one.

I've ended up with a stack of 32 fenders collected over the years, which is odd since I don't run fenders on any of my cars. I guess if it fits a 32 Ford, I collect it. or Model A.. or 33 thru 36..

 

Nailhead speed parts.....

 

A few months ago I wanted a 36-38 Buick 6 bolt trans that has been machined to accept a Ford torque tube.
I now have 4 of them and I don't now why. I know I only need one. And I'm still looking for more!!

 

Blowers, mechanical fuel inj., aluminum blocks/rods, any kind of old metal or wood box is cool. I know, I'm sick......

 

Betty Page posters, louvers and old rusty hand grenades !

 

Old orig. or aftermarket glass Tail lights and Marker lights
Old S-W guages

 

Tend to stock bikes.. Especially Choppers

Speedy

 

And Keystone valve covers. Now I have three sets of them all for a SBC (Non staggered) and 49 ford dash knobs. I have a whole bucket full of them

 

Large logo 97's. Not sure why I like them. I actually just collect the parts and pieces that I see at shows.

 

Fords and vintage ford hotrod parts.
