Help identifying some old car parts?

What are your plans for the grill?
I could be interested

[Bill]

The grill, front bumper and hood sold really fast on Craigslist. I had a guy drive 3 hours 1-way to pick them up. Makes me think I could have sold them for more, but I agreed to the price and a deal-is-a-deal. He said the grill and bumper are 37 Ford, and the hood was 34 Ford. I have no idea why all these different parts were dumped together years ago in a canyon in San Jose.

That tailgate depending on the width. It could be 40 to 60 in year.

I feel a project coming together. I have the old door with a great patina, an angle grinder and have always wanted to make a Czech (Bohemian) twin-tailed lion to put on the wall. My wife said if I got it as a tattoo she'd leave me- so I'm not playing that card .

Something like these with a twin tail, finished project would be around 24" tall.



Or maybe a boar?

A local guy and his wife took all the old Model A/T parts off my hands. He's in a local club, and said when guys find old stuff like this, they make it available to the others to take a piece they may need, so it should not go to waste.

The old, rusty 1/2 door stays for my silhouette project, I need to think about what I'm making.

And unless I can find a TBH express going east, the Chevy tailgate, complete with old CA bullet holes is shipping FedEx to Shaft Slinger in Texas for a headboard for his son's bed. I want to see the completed project posted in the DIY section.

My yellow duck hunting buddy stays here.

I need to figure out what to do with the blue wine making barrel, 1/2 full with grapes that 'turned' on the fermentation in my daughter's first try at making wine in the garage. I'm thinking pouring it out and coming back early the next morning to see if the pungent odor attracts pigs?

The odor for pigs I bet would work.

Well folks, the Cali Chevy tailgate with 3 bullet holes is in Texas for a boy's bed headboard. Another great story from TBH.

The funny part is I told Justin, and he sent me a check for the shipping, addressed to:

The People's Republic of California and my zip code.

.....and it got delivered to my mailbox just fine. It reminds me of the court scene in Miracle on 34th Street where they prove that he is the real Chris Kringle since the USPS delivered the letters to him.

Without a picture- it didn't really happen!

The actual envelope says socialist on it. The lady at the post office looked at me funny and had to read it out loud to make sure it said what she thought. I just stood there and smiled.

There's the proof this is a Socialist Republic!
