Elvira my not so neglected (because I drove her to town twice this week) 37 pu is now watching me play with my new toy. I just got a barn find 55 Hard top Oldsmobile 88 Holiday that has been sitting in a storage building for over 25 or years. It does need a lot of work & chrome. The rocket 88 motor looks new with clean plugs & turns over with a ratchet.
Also got some Ford parts in the deal like what looks like a 1937 Ford car rh front fender, (2) LH 1951 Ford Grill end pieces, several old rusted Ford distributor caps with rotten wires & Spark plug wire tubes and also what looks like a 51 shoebox hood. 55 chev grill, 54 or 55 chev hood, (4) 1957 Chev hoods, (4) fenders & (2) doors for a 1946 Pontiac, (4) small block chev heads, (2) small block chev intakes one with carb, 1 55-57 chev bell housing w through out bearing fork, 1 hydra matic tyranny. plus some unidentified parts. I have been having a lot of fun trying to figure out what I have & what the heck I will do with it lol it is kind of overwhelming. This stuff was left in a old storage building that was being torn down to make room for a new building. I was told I had to take it all, so I did (2) 16 ft trailer loads WoW. going to have to take some pictures
