MGA???

"I don't have no MG stuff". I can fix you up with a 409...BBC...or a 3 hp Johnson outboard

I don't know about marketing skills...but Dennis is probably right. I'm warming up to selling stuff...I'll never use it all

Anyone have children...grandchildren...great grandchildren to entertain?View attachment 78987View attachment 78988

I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. My plan was to go steal the local park Space Shuttle kids ride on a large coil spring but they removed it before I worked some magic. Where did you find the coin operated horses? I rode one as a kid here in Iowa that bright yellow and black. I always thought I was riding the Iowa Hawkeyes horse. LOL!

The single horse is a "Sandy" and is cast aluminum. The double is early fiberglass. Both from the 1960s. I bought an assortment of the coin vends from a local dealer 20 years ago. There is a second Sandy...and a woody wagon. The second horse and wagon went to the granddaughter...I have another mechanism that I intended to do as a Cushman scooter. So much for good intentions!

I'm always looking for more 409 blocks to build just an fyi

We need a 409, Brian needs some competition for that Bantam he's been showing off.

How about an 1000cc Austin motor? I only have a block, head, oil pan and valve cover. No rotating assembly or valves. Just the main castings basically.

Russ could have been on the Hoarding Channel!!!!!!!!

 

[Don Jacks]

More like a 409 saviour Phil.

 

[Phil Reed]

Those belong on blocks, in cars....in my garage. LOL!

 

[La Hot Rods]

Why your garage?

 

[1964SuperStocker]

Why your garage?

Because I love taking on more projects than I could ever finish. I try not to keep anything I'm not going to use soon. It's hard though. Been doing good selling stuff off then I find a freshly built set of 690s for a $1000 and my pile of parts grows again.

With all the available time I decided to clean the motor room. What a pit! When you clean you find stuff...some good some not so good I've discovered an 814 block...hipo exhaust manifolds...and two rolls of masking tape that I didn't know I had. I really appreciate the tape...I was out and not wanting to go to town
