Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

heh heh...

 

332 Thunderbird Special out of a '58 Skyliner

 

Those seats bring a little money these days,someone brought me a set to install reproduction covers and foam that looked like it they came from a junkyard car like this but were too rusty to work with.

 

This was a sad sight, oh wait...there's tarps on 'em they'll be fine

This Ford F4 was sitting and was going to rot .I got it last week .It has a 56 buick nailhead under the hood.

 

Here are a few more I've come across this summer.

 

You need a two-speed rear or a Brownie and that Buick-powered Ford would really go.

 

growing up we used to visit my uncle's farm back in the sixties, that had a junkyard/pig yard together, he had many cars and trucks and lots of hogs that used the old cars for shelter... made searching for parts interesting trying to avoid the slop...

 

It needs a water pump which will be here soon and I'll see how we'll it goes with what it has.... I can't wait

 

froghawk - now that was funny.....

 

A buds yard art. Had a touring body on it when it arrived.

 

Wow, I like that. Old race car with some neat History. Hope someone saved it.

 

Not only it was saved, it was restored.

This Jerry Malloy Sprint Car sat outside this closed down dirt oval for over 25 years.

 

Incredible story. Thanks for sharing.

 

Great save. It's appalling that it was ever allowed to deteriorate to that point though.

 

I wonder what flattened that truck that barn find posted. Heavy snow? Rolled off a cliff? Crazy.

 

Me too. Maybe a combination? It is in Governor Basin in the Colorado San Juans. The roads are trecherous enough around there that roll-offs are common. Snow's heavy, too at that elevation. Rocks could have bashed in the stouter parts of the cab and snow finished it off after it sat winter after winter. There are no axles under it. They could have been robbed for soem other utilitarian purpose. Or the ambulance may have been drug there as a shelter or toolshed.







I don't see any bulldozer track on it.

 

That car needs to be restored,,,,Thats one of Marty Robbins's stock cars, he was a famous singer and drove stockcars

 

It was. Read my post @ #7171.

 

thats a small base carter WCFB carb. I used to get them and put then on Y block fords. it will dolt on to a teapot intake. It looks like a good engine swap. We have a dump truck the same body style. Someone Took out the flathead six & swapped in a Y block292. There isnt a much clearance as you have. They had to use a block off adapter and hoses to remote mount the oil filter on our,s. I would rather have the nail head.

 

LOL Dam, how did I miss that ,Sorry about that
