Looks like u had a great time. Awesome finds. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab on. Weld on. Keep making. God bless.
Looks like you did really good --- Yeah --- we had rain - hail and a little snow Saturday and I see still the same for today ---- If you didn't say what the taillights were sitting just above the steering wheel -- I was going to ask -- but you did say they were '49 Lincoln --- I think they pretty nice --- been thinking might be nice on my Model A ------ Thank you for the video ----- Rodney
You bet, thank you! I have a second set of 49 lincoln tail lights for sale, not nearly as nice. Yeah i think fridays weather mightve been the best of the weekend although it was still crummy
Isn't Portland too crowded for cars? I'm surprised they haven't moved an automotive swap meet out of Portland by now because they don't even have enough room to house everyone, much less haul antique cars around on trailers, also there is less rust East of the Cascades. That classic junkyard seems too close to the big University for comfort too unless they have parts for RV dwellers. Lot's of room for both in Oregon, but maybe not in the Willimette Valley part, which also has rain and rust. I hear Antelope dislikes hippies and hippies dislike cars, so does Antelope like cars? and have lots of space for cars? at least more space than Portland?
@@tradrodsandcustoms Both cities have urban political and cultural values, which can be hostile to classic cars, but Portland is truly urban, where Eugene is not. True cities like Portland cannot provide enough parking, or enough air to dilute the exhaust, but can efficiently fill buses and trolleys, but college towns like Eugene do have the parking space and air, but can't fill buses or trolleys efficiently and so do need old cars whether they know it or not. I am therefore considering moving to Eugene, from North Carolina, in an old truck, bus or RV, trailing my old car; but I have no such thoughts about Portland. I like cars but am secular, like Eugene and not like North Carolina. So classic car swap meets have a future in, or at least near, Eugene, but no such future near Portland, even if 1 Portland suburb retains a majority of car lovers, old cars remain un-viable in major metros regardless of political support. Portland also lacks space for workplaces in general, including both auto repair shops and the shipping port, which may have to move down river, something LA can't do because the LA river is too small.
@@tradrodsandcustoms Perhaps the future of classic cars is in Antelope, beleaguered and spacious victor in the culture wars, with plenty of parking and air and a drier climate with less rust. and perhaps a leftover Rolls Royce or two?

@@tradrodsandcustoms Eugene is far less crowded than Portland.
