She's LUMP! Restore or Part/Scrap? FABO Help!

-
Something I do.... after saying the Prayer of Thanks for the parts car....
I guess part of my Native American karma.... All things have life forces thing.
I always take the Fender Tag from a car that donates parts to my cars.
Just one of those things I have always done... the tag gets put in the car that is getting the parts story book to be honored for time immortal.

Just 1 more old mans blathering thought.

Later,
Bruce B.

PS: You may want to get with Waggin for Tech Support on this one!
He IS the Master of cutting/welding BIG pieces of cars ya know.


I sent him a pm and a link to this page requesting he take a peek when he gets a chance!! Will be prepping for show on Sat and Lump will be dropping back in priority now till next week. Will be prepping BOF, Foto, and possibly Baby too!:-D
 
welll Ya'll cross yer fingers that joeychgo will let me borrow the company jet to fly out there for the weekend and fitz the lump....whadaya mean we don't have a company jet????? ok ok gotta do this the hard way, git a blaircutter spotweld cutter that goes in your drill (awesome tool) get your spotwelds on the donor part done and seperate the excess from the good stuff. I'll git back with next step a.s.a.p.
 
Lump looks salvagable - not exactly a simple fix, but overall WAY more structurally sound than Fern... That is not an easy "pull" due to the nature and location of the damage, but not at all impossible. The issue is time - a shop will not want to spend much time working with Lump if there are insurance jobs to be done. If you can find a shop that is slow, you mght be able to work something out.

I hate to say it but - if any of your cars is a candidate for parting out, it's Fern.
Love your threads, I hope you find work soon!
 
Love your humor and tenacity !!!
Some very good/funny reading.
Nice to see someone actually trying to save a car. Seen to many rebuildable cars on here lately,that guys are parting.There not making these cars anymore folks !!!!!
Hope it all works out for you.
 
That spare tire reminds me of the ones on this dart.


Great thread BTW, I wish I had a parts car like that to get the wheel well arches out of for my quarters.

"blaircutter spotweld cutter that goes in your drill (awesome tool)":read2:

Is that just a fancy dancy drill bit with a flat cutting tip? If yes, where in the heck do I get one?? NAPY?:dontknow: Lowes? Auto Paint supply store??:read2:
 
They are on ebay and a good set will run ya 40 to 50 but better than the 160 Snap-On wants for the same set in the same black case.

Good progress to save yet another good one!
Keep it up!
Congrats to ABB too.
 
Got a call from someone who said they saw a flyer from the local cruz in that had on it "Vintage Car Location Services and Sales" (Just Fishin', no bites) and the guy wanted to know what cars I had for sale. I said well right now the first one will be a restored 4 Door Dodge Dart (Not really knowing which one yet)
He says "OH well I'm not interested in any 4 doors."

Well, what do you have in mind? 60's or 70's muscle 2 door mopar? I can find anything for you if you know what you want.

Nah I got a really mint Mustang Mach.

Well ya got the muscle covered. Looking for a crusier or rod?

Naw I got this and a that too! (Whatever)

Well then what did ya call me for then?

Just ta see what ya got.

4 doors, ALL 4 doors, and MOPAR A-Bodies to boot too!!

Well I'm not a mopar man, the Abodies are too small for me, and I don't like 4 doors.

Well,.....I guess ya got the wrong number or info or something, Have a good day! CLICK!:cheers::toothy10:
 
keep a eye on your toys, I had a guy call me about some parts, and a week later I caught the bastard trying to break in my garage,:angry7: the sumbitch thought I'd be in bed at 5 am instead of coming home from work, I did a little anger management on his face then for good measure I introduced my knee to his jewels, I don't think he'll be back:-D

DANG!!!:cheers:

5AM? Boy he would REALLY been surprised entering my property at 5AM. I already woke at 3:30, was at Dunkin at 4am, back by 4:15 or so, Dogs let out into property (1-145lb Rottie and a 30lb+ Beagle) while I'm reading FABO and drinking DD coffee in the house at 5!!
My Beagle would have tore him a new one!!:cheers:
Usually that time of day if I'm not already in garage I'd hear the dogs ruckus and run out with maglight and pistol in hand!!

He was lucky you were so nice to him!
Next time you see him at your neighbors down the street, on the way home from work, stop and give him a "Work Boot" express to the jewels from me too!!:cheers:

When younger in the AF and living off base, I was laying in bed, had changed to day shift for some weird reason, and heard the Ah-oo-gah horn on my custom van barley give a quick Ah! (early 80's)
I layed there and thought, that sounded like my van, I got up and opened front door to see the other side of my van the drivers door open, and 1 of my huge 75lb home speaker boxes exiting the van! (They hit the horn button barley cause the speaks were so big, HAHA!!) I run back in (only had underware on nothing else) grabbed my 12ga single shot (closest to door, wish I'd grabbed my 410 mossberg pistol grip, it had more than 1 shot but I didn't) and ran out of the house, round the back of my van and saw 2 guys barley fast heaving those huge speakers about 75 feet in front of me.
My bare feet were slapping the blacktop so hard and loud they turned (I would have shot already but I didn't want to hurt my speakers and I only had 1 shot) when they turned they saw almost naked me, running behind them silent but slapping bare feet and a huge a$$ shotgun, and they threw my speaks into the air 1 on each side of street with a loud thud thud!! CRAP! Oh you gonna be sorry you did that! They turned right down the next street and into neighbors yard, through and into my other neighbors yard (2 fences jumped, 1 big snarling dog avoided.)
When I finally stopped The whole hood was up. I was neeling in my nextdoor neighbors driveway, on all 4's, pukin, in my tighty whities, with a big a$$ shotgun still in 1 hand!!!
Neighbor;
What's goin on?
Call the cops, we been robbed!!

They said I should have took the shot, drug back speaks and hoods to propertyline, then call em!!! :cheers:

You need to set up some game cameras or something, motion detector lighting??!!!:read2:
