Matt, you just go along to help clean out the barn? Looks to be a pickers paradise.

I did grab a few things off the guy while I was there checking out the car. 1962 406 Ford tri power setup with thunderbird air cleaner, a Cal Custom scoop, and an NOS sun gauge cup. The rest of the cool vintage parts he had went with the 1957 Chevy.
