So, I didn't realize this Parts Safari business is part of a work release program from the local jail. Good to know.

Thanks for letting us know about the focus when on a mission. I'm glad that you both are able to locate and rescue pieces & parts before the earth reclaims the old iron.

Yep, looks like that dash heater vent is going back to Florida come hell or high water. And I'm sure the stainless radio trim was next to come off.

My friend has a Jeep FC150 cab-over that he stuffed a Ford 289 into. When driving, your right armrest is practically the valve cover for the left bank of cylinders. The cab is pretty big inside if you disregard the engine being in a most inconvenient location.

Does anyone know what that turquoise & white car is in the first picture? It looks a 1960 something-or-other. Nice roof line on it.

It looks like a panel truck someone picked up with a backhoe bucket.
