I love this kind of stuff

Post by Low Bucket » Tue Jun 14, 2022 2:18 pm

When I was a kid I stumbled across an old Model T in the form of .....a sawmill! Ha ha :lol:
I didn't really know what I was looking at at the time but over the years I've come to realise... :D
I was visiting my Aunt in the small town I grew up in and decided to go exploring...after meandering around on some old dirt roads I came to a dead end with a thicket of woods. I decided to just hike on through instead of turn around after a while there were abandoned cars sticking out of the berm at the side of the road obviously a dumping ground that some huge Cat had cleared into unidentifiable heaps of twisted steel...veering off to investigate I came across a swampy area with lots of thin trees growing very close together and recognised 3-4 whole cars... one was a '36 Ford 3 W coupe upside down in the swamp, the others were 37-38 sedans...then I suddenly walked into a clearing that was someones yard! :? :oops: brashly I knocked and scared the bejeezis out of the owner...who at first grumpy later told me I could have the cars if I could get them out of the trees/swamp :roll: but I was 12...it would've taken a chainsaw and a crane. Of course I wish I had now...
Leaving their driveway I attempted to track my way back through the trees but ended up coming to another clearing this time no house or any other signs of habitation but a really old wooden log construction open sided Saw Mill...being a car kid I instantly recognised the T radiator/grille shell & Ford flathead 4 that powered the giant saw and as I was leaving I found the rusted front a rear crossmembers and springs lying on the ground where they had dismantled the old T...the frame and axles probably became a log wagon...

I saw that this am, then I saw the price. Think it is wishful thinking or have been hitting the corn squeezing's! :lol:
