you might visit a few upholstery shops and ask to see what vintage material they saved. i think that stuff is out there.

When you have a minute could you post a closeup photo? We are getting really close to replacing our current seat and this gets the wife's approval. I've been saving pictures or seats for quite a while for ideas.

Too many Irons in the fire this year Brother!!! Will have to miss Tahlequah...

65Gregg · 04-27-2015, 10:18 PM

those baby blues are just so photogenic...

ok, so, today i visited my favorite junk yard and made the mother of all salvage runs. there was this old military bus, army i think, like a large school bus, that was packed full of truck parts. i struck a deal with the owner and started hauling it off. could only make 2 trips today as it was pretty far from home but here is a tease of the score... i think there is around 40 grills and probably 2 or 3 more trips of assorted parts.

LOL-img here.

Question is, how to fit a couple into your baggage.

I am sure this was not as easy as Clem makes it out to be.

A lot of hard work goes into getting to he point where he is now with his yard.

Well do e Clem!!!

Thanks to guys like you, armchair mechanics around the world can possibly progress past certain dead end spots in builds.

duallyjams · 05-18-2015, 08:11 PM

That makes me want to come out to your place with fat pockets.

Bomp · 05-17-2015, 11:24 PM

What a score!
I look and look and look for stuff and to find out all I need to do is look in buses or army rigs??
You have sooooo much stuff,,,drool,,,, if you swung a dead cat you'd be hittin' somethin'

Any bumper guards??? hmmmm

Jeff La · 05-18-2015, 12:18 AM

Man Clem, you hit the lottery

Modges'66 · 05-18-2015, 08:15 PM

Dude!
You are simply outa-control!!!

not really the lottery but it was a decent score ... most of the stuff will need some massaging.

you're right but don't tell my wife... she thinks i know what i'm doing.

sigshooter · 05-22-2015, 10:41 AM

Looks like a few of your 4 headlight grilles are missing the headlight rings, I just happen to have a set that I am fixing to throw away because I will never build a 4 headlight truck.

**clemdaddy** · 05-22-2015, 11:04 AM

sure do... bring 'em over saturday.
did we get caps for cotton? if so, that doubles the reason for a beer...

sigshooter · 05-22-2015, 09:32 PM

I havent had a chance to call or go by and talk to the guy on the hub caps again. I will squeeze it in soon, I promise :-)

mjh1965 · 05-19-2015, 01:35 AM

Thanks clem I would love a 60-61 twin headlight grill . I think we can bring one home on the plane if it's in a ski bag . Rian plans to bring his mouldings home in one . We are going to look really strange in shorts and ski bags on the way home . I don't think there is snow that time of year .
