Default Trip to Bratton's yesterday

I could not make the yard sale last Saturday, we'll Jeff left everything out all this week for people who made appointments to come by.
Plenty of good stuff left, it's all leaving shortly because they need the floor space.
I filled my truck full, and have to go back for the rest of it. Jeff pulled out a pallet and I filled it up, 90% is going to Hershey. Anything to do with Generators I picked up for Steve B
I bought all the radiators, Shrouds, shock arms,New popouts, new headlight reflectors,horns. Even found a old airplane prop hood ornament.
Lots of good stuff left behind, the prices...make a Cash offer and buy it by the truck load! The Coupe is for sale also!
Tons of good stuff left.

Oh...so tempting to see what's left!


My "adulting" side says that I need to stop buying stuff and restore and sell the bits I have before I become a hoarder. Sigh...

I checked with Jimmy. He's the one who made all the mess. I won an award from Gay for the goodest space with the nicest stuff including her cold beer at 8 am as requested. (My pet skunk ate the wood award...)

I, so favorably, remember you cookin oysters fer us all. Clem

He holds these sales periodically to clear out items that aren’t selling and stuff that needs restoration before it could be used.

Nope Bratton's is still here, and these parts have nothing to do with the reproduction parts business. These are just old original parts that Walt and i have collected over the years, and we both have decided it is time to start cleaning out these old parts that are taking up too much space in the back of the shop.
