    I've watched many strolls through old cars on youtube and 13:24 I see a 2 door '38 Chevy....Not many of that year anywhere..I have a 4 door Aussie Holden bodied '38 and even less of those seem to be around.

      ZIGgassedUP Hi Zig, I had a '32 chev. in Sydney in 1961 with a badge on the side saying "body by Holden". Mick, now in Melbourne.

    I've been thinking about your situation It may be time to open not a larger store, but a whole 'nuther store. An old car dealership would be perfect. Focus that store on transportation related stuff. Even use a couple of the garage bays to start a vintage parts biz, disassembling all these vintage rides you come across. Parts is where it's at, the money for parts is way better than even restored cars in most cases. That would give you a place to keep things like that inspection car you let go way to cheap and lost money on. Certain things have to be held for a while until that one right buyer comes along, auctions are not the answer for everything unless you find specialized auctions for specific things. I don't know if where you live can support such a business as a store related to petrolianna but it does work in some places. Parts can be sold via the net anywhere, and shipping is not that big of deal for rare parts. They will pay the freight and then some if they have to have that part.

    Re oil cans: What is the price difference if the can is open and empty, versys if the can is still sealed and filled with oil? Say it's a 1960s can. Is the price mainly in the rarity and the graphics and whether it's open or filled is mostly irrelevant?

    That "airplane" motor and Hoover Hydraulic propeller may not have been on any kind of plane. They used to make a snow machine, basically a lightweight body on skis, powered by air like an airboat. It's from late 30's to early 40's Intended for military use but they never really went big time. More as vid progresses.

    you could take one of the older cars if the frame and body were solid enough and make a rat rod out of it.that could be an interesting project though.

    • @tootall5559
      @tootall5559 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      really? you'd think they'd use many metric tons. Of course, most Americans think only of snow, ice and cold when we think of Canada. With a lot of snow and such, you'd think heavy rust would come with it, but there seems to be a lot of old stuff that's been left outside that has only surface rust. I'm sure some is quite rusted, but stuff from the teens and 20s of last century that isn't just rusted away doesn't seem right to me.

    • @MrShene123
      @MrShene123 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      In the western provinces they use more sand & pea gravel than salt, it works better and doesn't cause rust, when I lived in Ontario cars would turn to dust in 15 years.

    • @tootall5559
      @tootall5559 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hmm, well one would think the weather alone would do it, but apparently not all that fast. Some of that stuff had to have been setting outside for many decades, yet it's still there. sorta anyway. I tell ya, if a guy had a place to do the work, buying the parts only cars and parting them out and reselling parts would be the way to go. Guys that want original parts will pay the price.
