" It's a small plastic ring w/the "flip" picture in it " look at it one way and its John F. Kennedy pix, and then turn it a little and it has an American flag with " for president " "John F Kennedy " and at the bottom 2 dates I can't read....... "I think the last is 1969 ?"

I just love it when you guys talk "dirty"...

Any you were expecting what? It's always interesting how much crud can build up in the weirdest places on vehicles...

I cleaned the Stude before we got ready to weld on it, scaping the stuff off the fire-wall (which is really yucky), and removing 50 years worth of oil, grease,etc. from the engine compartment...so I know where you're comin' from...then we sandblasted the body, so we could shoot it w/ pimer and now we have 100 pounds of sand in all the nooks & crannies...

AND THEN, once it's done, you'll clean it all the time to make it look good...it just never ends, does it?

Cool find Treekiller...I found a penny from 1951 in our friend's 53 Suburban...not much, I know, but at least it wasn't a dead mouse!
I've also found old license plates, circle track race tickets stubs, photos, and other stuff in some of the other cars that I help with...I've got my hands in everything!

Cool finds in cars, my galaxie, I found a Best buy ball point pin and a bunch of pictures of spring break in cancoon the preverted old man that owned her before me took, that was pretty cool.
I was building a Nova 2 once I removed the back seat I found an OLD Montgonery Wards brand 20GA side by side scatter gun, the modle was the Hercules, it's worth about 700 smackers.
