somedays the windshield, and not the bug!
Visited the homestead in Indy last week and helped an old neighbor out. He's pretty down in the health department and he was a neighbor for years. It involved some heavy lifting and a lot of yard work. Afterward, he said he had some old parts he's trying to get out of the house - yes, the house - and said I could pick thru them if I wanted before he had them hauled to the dump. Glory be....
Yes, that's an M20 at the top of the pic. The stash included 8 PO3's - 4x stainless (dirty but cherry condition, incl original black still intact) and 4x 69-72 chrome (umm, not so cherry...), as well as a Hurst shifter, scattershield, and some odds and ends. The other stuff is actually my own stuff that my pop was wanting to thin out the barn with... so I helped him out as well. Found my first car's wheel covers (57 Bel Air), my first truck's wheel covers (72 Cheyenne PO1s - but am assuming the one that popped off on the way to high school is still in some ditch in Indiana), some 56 Chev wheel covers that I have no idea where they came from, and a set of UNOPENED Thrush header glass packs that I never ended up installing way back in the day - still in perfect shape, to include the decal that came in the box. That's just cool.
So, the moral of the story is you never know what a good deed may turn up.
