Trash Haul #1

"Mystery Boxes & Engine"

Isn't it just awesome when you stroll upon a scrap score unexpectedly? My first happened today. I was driving home from school (still in my volkswagen passat.. no ford yet) and suddenly saw a flash on the left of my car. I saw the top of the engine and the exhaust, standing straight up and down. I didn't slam on the brakes, i found a driveway, and made a safe #2 pass to the engine. I mostly wanted the engine, but me being a new scrapper, i took 3 misc. boxes that were overhauled with metal. So, here is what i found!

The shoe thingy is for making shoes or putting soles on the bottom of shoes defiantly a swap meet or yard sale item, nice score. David

I was thinking the same thing, or maybe an old challenger. Either way parts for old muscle cars (especially mopars) tend to sell pretty well

It should say on the back what it's for. Looks in good shape.

Is that a Sterling Silver Spoon? Silver=wood ;)
