Here are some pics I took last week (Oct 09) of a yard filled with project cars, trucks and customs waiting for a new owner. The prices were not too bad. . . .

Ok, that's it. We are officially going to remove Montana as one of the 50 States. We just know you guys sit up there and snicker because you have all that tin and we have nothing!:p:p:D:D
I can't stand it.

Sorry, these pics were resized to like 3 x 5???:CRY: and I have really slow dialup internet. Maybe one day, maybe.
Severson should jump on that 56 2dr wagon.:LOL::LOL::3dSMILE:
Had one of them...I want a '57 2 door wagon!!!!! Still not much luck finding one of them around here.....Quote:

a rodder's dream...with limited rust!:LOL:
Yikes that T coupe looks exactly like mine, maybe I should go out in the shed and see if mines still there.:LOL:
Ah...... just where in Montana is this?
You got that right!!!!! Got to get me one of them someday... Somebody down there by Richard's house (the land of no rust) must be saving me one!!!!!!Quote:

Ohhhh. What a tease! If I weren't so old I'd move out there---------
I'm not sure if this is ironic or just weird. I've had this pic in my file of curiosities for a couple years now.
That '56 Custom Ranch Wagon gets my heart pumpin'. 312 T-bird special engine, next you'll tell us it's got 3 on the tree (although I'd even take it with the Fordomatic). Hey, my birthday is less than a couple months away. Maybe you guys could take up a collection and surprise me......................
Hey I can dream can't I?
I like the Edsel

Again Joe, good to see you back in the mix. Yeah, but there are others out there too. Here's one that wasn't likely built by the same guy, but looks like they went to the same design school.:whacked: The side view only looks a little weird, but the front........................:rolleyes:Quote:

That is so butt ugly it's beyond description. :rolleyes:
Ha Ha. must be the same guy that built a Skoda based limo in his backyard a few years back. the owner (from the Czech Republic actually) said: "it was build within 3 days and much barrels of beer!"
Lotsa
To get Mach's thread back on topic here's a way to envision that Custom Ranch Wagon.
Good thing I live too far away or my wife would really be mad at me.
Here are a few more.
That T-coupe would be fun with real steel after all my messing with a 'glass body but I am tapped out and just hope to finish my '29. My family had a '55 Ford two-door wagon and swapped out the 272-Y when it got old and replaced it with a 292-Y from a dealer. It took a week and a comedy of figuring out eight plug wires which we disconnected without marking them. After all of that the crank pulley wobbled when we started it up due to a bent crank and to our relief and amazement the Ford agency from which we bought the engine honored the guarantee, towed the car to the agency and replaced the 292-Y in one day at the agency which amazed us since my Dad and I had sweated a whole week to try to finish the swap! On second thought the Model A Tudor with 16" wheels would be a more sensible starting point and still real steel!

What is the white roadster?
Kinda has the look of immediate post war Pontiac, maybe Buick, tin. That's a '39 Chev next to it, and much of what's been pictured has been grouped by manufacturer, so likely GM.............though that's a Model A rear cross member on the front bumper.
I could spends days there, snakes or not.:)
I was thinking Cunningham?Quote:

There was a fad/trend in post WWII U.S. usually referred to as Sports Customs. The idea was to build a sporty, low slung looking car from a more mundane sedan. For more info here's a Hemmings blog on the subject; http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...a%3DN%26um%3D1
These were popular enough that a number of articles appeared in Popular Mechanics, or maybe Mechanix Illustrated, probably both that did "how tos" on this style of car. As often happens, how well they turned out depended on the skill of the builder.
Some more. The white roadster is some kind of custom. There are several there including the 38 ford pu. I couldn't believe they are just setting there. Even as ugly as that pu is, it has a lot of work in it. . . .
Well that rear picture of the sport custom answers a question.........it's a Buick.
I like the 56 2 door wagon or the ranchero behind it.
The old cars placed in a lot, as they are there looks really nice. Nice pictures.

Are these pictures/post made for big screen TV? Can I downsize?
Now back to your regular scheduled program
Thank You,

Hey,
Montanas got kustoms thats a definate. I worked for a farmer up in Poplar about 15 years ago and come across this group of cars in the back 40. There was a 50 Mercury with a chopped top (dented chopped top) and a Henry J. There was also a Special Edition Vega in an enclosed hay stacker (can't think of the name off hand. Usually I know it cuz it is a popular name.). They would not sell any of it though.
So does Nd, SD and WY. Just gotta be able to get to the back 40 or if your lucky enough, knw people who fly National Guard Black hawks on training missions..:). Since I am in he guard.Quote:
