Well what did YOU find in your LONG life of restoring cars?

Hey Charge It,

Did you know:

Many people are members here and on Moparts?

Many people post similar or the exact same questions on both sites in hopes of getting the most possible answers?

That I looked at your profile and see under the section "show last posts" you have 3 pages worth and that of the 30 on the first page, posts:

1,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,17,19,20,24,25

were all directed at mustanghater in a negative way?

I realize that the young fellow asks some foolish questions and can't spell to save his life but has he done something to you personally?   Maybe he has and I missed it or I just didn't do enough homework, if so - carry on.

I'm not usually one to stir up shit or pick fights, and that is not what I am trying to do here, but I am one for sticking up for people when I see them being treated unfairly.   I will not stick up for someone if they are being a blatant and ignorant asshole, which he is not.

Hey Pal,

If you want to help yourself with regards to the way you get treated around here, try proof reading your posts out loud to yourself before hitting the post button.  Ask yourself as you read it - does this sound proper and make sense!  Will others understand what I am trying to say? 

With all due respect, I have no clue as to what you are saying here.

When I was installing a new turn signal switch, I couldn't get the new wiring to pull up into the steering column. After shining a light into the column, I found 3 Coors beer bottle caps. That deep into the column, I figure they must have come from the factory. I bet my car was built on a Friday.lol

I believe the young man is referring to the unfortunate picture incident on his website- which he has repeatedly apologised for- and I think may safely be dropped as a subject matter. :eyes:

I have noticed, if few else have that 'mustang' is trying very hard to be less irritating so cudos to the guy :)

lets keep the teasing for when he deserves it yeah ;)

PS that was very mature & gracious of you 'Charge it' :yesnod:

'CUDA360

I bought a green '74 'CUDA a while back but it had lots of spoons with a white chrystal substance dried on them.
As I dug deeper I found some used up syringes :icon_smile_question:

I am told that guy got out of jail recently :rotz:

My car I only found mouse crap in the hood pad and my headliner, and junk the factory guys didn't want to clean out before they put in the carpet. I also found a slipper of mine this summer behind the rear seat.  I lost back in 88 when I moved out of college for the summer.  Too bad I threw out the one I did have about 16 years ago

My dad's "new" 67 we found .22 shells, spent and live ones; a page out of a book in spanish, and some other unsavory stuff when we gutted it.
Over?! its not over until we say it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!...Hell no! and its not over now!..(Germans? Pearl Harbor?...shut up, he's on a roll)

Interesting things found over the years.....

A pearl Necklace [ :icon_smile_shock: ok, stop right there!]   in the dash of my 68 El Camino
A Craftsman Torque Wrench behind the back seat of a 68 Coronet I was parting out [I still have it!]
Womens undies [70's bloomer style] under the front seat of my 69 Charger. It was also accompanied by a used Trojan & wrapper.  :puke:
A Sun Dried Rodent of some kind in the headliner of a 70 Camaro my brother owned.
A disassembled Ford flathead in the trunk of a 69 RoadRunner I bought site unseen from a Junk yard about 15 yrs ago!  

Too much other stuff to remember! :icon_smile_big:

Seems like most of us have found dead rodents. Here is the mouse I found huddled up by the dome light under the headliner of my '68. They must eat the insulation as I think only about 25% of the liner was still intact.

This was it.  Don't ask me what those triangle things are, I don't know.  But they were under the carpeting.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.

Cool key tag there Heavyfuel. I have a buddy that collects the Maine versions of those. Too bad they don't do those today.

Yeah, it was kinda cool to find those.  I remember my dad having one of those tags on his keyring when I was a kid. 

The set pictured was wired to the radiator support, I suppose in case the guy locked his keys in the car.  Kinda risky, I guess, since the hoods don't lock down, but those were different days then.
