Outdoor Car Storage or I'm Going to Fix it Someday
Not for sale because I'm going to fix it someday, might be a good title for this picture. I found this a while ago on the internet, and this is the most extreme case I've seen of poor outdoor storage. Wouldn't this make a great picture for a 1000 piece puzzle.

Re: Outdoor Car Storage or I'm Going to Fix it Someday
You have to be careful with this one, We all have the hopes and dreams to drive or work on one of our favorite cars but life gets in the way. Some of us are just hanging on to the dream too long. Its really hard to let go of a dream. Its really hard when you have kept that car for 30 years hoping that you will have the time or money to work on it and neither one comes through for a varity of reasons! Reality finally sets in when health goes bad or age just sneaks up on us. We will all be there someday, some sooner some later.

Re: Outdoor Car Storage or I'm Going to Fix it Someday
This is a darn shame: '39 or '40 Dodge, with the headlights set close to the grille. Rare model of a rare year(s). Last edited by Special Coupe Frank; 12-15-2016 at 03:56 PM. |

Unfortunately when the owner dies they get carted off to the scrap yard.

Re: Outdoor Car Storage or I'm Going to Fix it Someday
Tom's picture is quite like what you would see on one of the Hawaiian islands. In the less traveled area on Maui you will see any number of cars and trucks thickly covered with growth. I never found anything interesting, mostly stuff that was very tired when left out.

Re: Outdoor Car Storage or I'm Going to Fix it Someday
Cant tell if that one on the right is, "Rock Moss Green" or "Kewanee Green".
I say just leaf them along and let them patina some more. |

Re: Outdoor Car Storage or I'm Going to Fix it Someday
Great photo Tom, it would make a nice 1000 piece puzzle. There is a company you can send the picture to & they will make a puzzle out of it!
I refuse to end up being "that guy" so I am adding 16x85 on to my shop as we speak!

Chia cars! Much cheaper finish than paint!

Re: Outdoor Car Storage or I'm Going to Fix it Someday
These "Savers" never seem to figure Rust into the equation. When I lived in Jackson, NJ, I knew a guy like that. He had stashed away a 1964 Studebaker Avanti but what he didn't figure on was rust! Then I met a guy who was looking for the Avanti and I sent him over. It turned out Jackson's soil is your basic beach sand and the old Avanti just started settling in. By the time friend #2 got to look at it the frame was just about on the ground and the rust owned it. Friend #2 priced a new chassis for it, Somewhere in the neighbor hood of $4000.
