Re: When do parts become junk ?
Any part for any car can be reworked. Its a matter of value.
Why spend 250.00 repairing your old spindles when good used ones cost about 50 or so? If the spindles were for a high-end Packard or other fabulous and rare car, repairing the spindles is many times the only choice.
The bad thing about tossing the old Model A parts is that one day, believe it or not, the plethora of original parts will be gone. Then there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth about tossing all those parts.
So, its about value, unless you care what happens to these cars 100 years from now. Is it about you, or about the preservation of history?
