The little coupe that the business partner of the guy I purchased my gold RS from was getting ready to paint in a makeshift booth next to his barn. In the barn were several cars, among them a 66 Corvette that been a SCCA race car was being restored to original. There were also several long blocks, one of which was an "MO" motor out of a 67 Camaro. (I now have my doubts that it really was an "MO".) The Camaro pictured above came with front discs but were non-power. It had manual steering, deluxe buckets with headrests (long gone by the time I got there), and a 3spd. He had purchased it from an estate sale. It had been in storage for almost 20 years in a storage locker.

Here is some odd rigs I found yesterday..most of you will laugh fact is there pretty cool and way ahead of there time these are DKW's they are front wheel drive and sport a 900cc 2 stroke motor in them..yea I said 2 stroke..they are really quick little buggers and being german made are a decent piece..these are pre Audi same Co.... the little red wagon is a 1960 and the van is a 1959..the van is a marvel to look at, he was having trouble with the stock motor..so that was pulled and he pushed in a snow mobile motor did some fabricating and drove all over the place like that for years even up into Canada..the pull start flipped apart one day and it has sat since...

also found a '68 chev scooby doo van that was in the middle of getting a smallblock for power, batts died in the camera before I could get a pic.

these two brothers are something else they tweaked everything they owned for speed/hp they were not drag racers just enjoyed the mental challenge of making stuff work better in there eyes...the sad part the older brother drank himself into the grave two years ago and the other guy in the pic is short a little today not sure if it was from taking care of his bro or what...when I could get him to focus and talk he had done some encredible things to share he had done in his life with his brother...I could on for hours telling you stuff...here is some quick pics I took before dragging the buick up the drive and across the street,no keys and locked up tight..blew these guys minds when I slapped a chain on the Buick in the middle and yanked it outa there with the Dodge, a little drizzle made it a little easier https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

and some pics of the basement..it is really cluttered with junk..but down there is a mill, huge lathe..ton of tools and the guy even had his own foundry in the back..the pics did not come out very well but it was a thing of beauty!! if they needed something wild they just made it!!

I would have welcomed owl poop over what I had to endure...I hate rats!! wizzin and poopin all over the place!!, the place had been over run with them for years and these guys just lived with them for awhile..ahhh the stink!!!..I think I can still smell them, dang they can wreck stuff in a hurry, YUCK!!
