There's gold in them thar junk-yards

Went to Victoria's Secret for Men (junkyard) yesterday and got parts for the rodmonster. I got a complete Jaguar rear diff. and all 4 chrome true spoke wire wheels for it. You know I don't spend much, and since I've been going to this place for all my project materials, I think I got a good price for everything. $200! Now it's off to the drawing board for a frame design. Dave

Went to an auction yesterday. Raining like crazy, few people came.
Bought a 36 Olds 2 door sedan for $125!
By the time I get through selling off stock parts on ebay, I'll have the car for nothing.
Now I've got another project for when I get the 54 Merc done.
We're not thrifty Dave, we're friggin cheap! hehe

Cheap? That ani't the word for it! Try building a twin engine roadster for $4000 or under! I have more to spend on it than that, but it's the challenge! Dave
