Customs Crazy Big hubcap and wheel cover collection

pm sent

 

Look at that. How did those two mint OPEL Manta/Ascona / Voyage hubcaps get in there. At least $30 to the right person.

 

Those dog-dish truck hubcaps have value, I'd definitely grab those if they were available to me. Most of the full size 70's and 80's stuff is scrap metal but again, if I got offered a shot at that pile (within driving distance), I'd definitely be a buyer.

 

This place might buy them since they have a web site selling them:

Those plain Jane no value hub caps should probably just be scrapped then you would only have to deal with some that you MIGHT get rid of.
I have a collection of about 50 that I got tired of taking to swap meets and advertising on Craigslist, only sold 4 or 5 and those were the spinner and wire caps, the others I just relegated to wall art or home made clocks.

 

We have plenty of weird types around here but damn few artistic, more like autistic. I used to think my neighbor was kind of normal until he bought a MG with an wiring problem.

 

My skin is a lot tougher than that, it has to be since I am a redneck,beer drinkin, cigatette smokin hillbilly in todays political correct world. Don't get me started!!

 

I tried this with roadkill once but the possum was so greasy it wouldn't stay on the slick stainless!!

 

Something like this??

 

I'll make you a smokin deal on the lot if you get out my way. At first glance most of them look nice, but very few are in perfect condition. The hoarder in me is having a hard time scrapping them though....

 

Swim careful, there are a few sharks in the deep end of the pool.

 

I have a few of those.

 

Sombrero?

 

I wasn't trying to offend.

 

art is the place for those

 

Any of you hubcap guys have any 63 Chevy SS hubcaps that are in prestine shape you want to get rid of? I’m your man.

Bones

 

It's all good, you didn't offend me. I like to mess with my H.A.M.B. buddies once in a while. When I get really pissed every body knows it. My wife says I have a warped mind, I think that's because she don't get me most of the time.

 

I have a bunch of them but none that I would call prestine. They tend to have pitts on the spinners and crummy plastic centers in this part of the world after 65 years. But thanks for asking!!

 

Just to show how bad my addiction is, I see some caps in this bunch that I would like to have. Is there a hubcap help group like AA?

 

Yes. It's called "HA" for "hubcaps anonymous".

 

So if I have it twice as bad it's HA HA?

 

Put an ad on Craigslist (AKA Creepy list) sold about a quarter of my pile of 400. Got $2.00 each for them. Advertised them as "man cave" art. Put rest on creepy list for free as scrap. Disappeared within an hour. That was last month. Some how approximately 15 new ones have appeared since.
Used to chuck them out in the woods behind the house. When I logged out a couple of years ago, the logger took a whole truck full to the scrap yard.

 

I tried that a couple times, all I got was a few flakes. One Ahole told me if I would load them in his truck and pay him $50.00 he would haul them off. I will keep working on a master plan. I am thinking about making a giant hubcap man with a big radiator hose for a male sex organ to shock the church ladies. Maybe I can take orders for yard art?

 

Just had a brain storm after having a few beers Take one wheel cover, knock a small hole in the center, cut 8 inches of a broom handle, thread a lag hook thru hole into end of handle, knock a hole in the center of a junk dog dish cap, and screw it to the bottom of the handle and bing -bang-boom you have a genuine man style bird feeder that any lady would get moist in her lady parts for What do you think? I can even take special orders for most car makes. Don't try to rob my idea as I have applied for a patten on line to keep my billion dollar idea safe. I knew with enough beer to motivate me I would come up with a brilliant idea some day!!

 

Next idea--one time only automotive art flying super disk, no wait-- shot gun trap targets, then when they are shot all to hell sell them to dare I say it r** rodders. Damn, I need to drink more beer more often! I forgot how smart I can be with a little inspiration

 

Hang them by valve stem holes 10" apart...wind chimes all the neighbors will love.

I was thinking you might sort the out by make and maybe decade and put lots of what ever number on Ebay with a starting bid that covers the time to do it. Something like lot of 40 1960's Mopar hubcaps several sets in the lot., driver quality. That might appeal to some one brand parts peddlers.
On the other hand 20 cents a pound for the rough ones buys a hot rod part or two and that isn't all bad.

 

Yea, already tried that. That's when I got the idea for shotgun targets, my neighbors don't play that. Some folks have NO appreciation for my inventions.

 

Hey, if it helps I want some 40s-50s IHC 1/2 ton dog dish caps.

 

I have a couple of them but they are in really bad shape, as in beat, cracked and rusty as hell.

 

Thanks for looking
