Me and the missus were goofin off after a BBQ down in Big Basin. We were looking for our 'make out' spot and happened across this bug shell sitting out in the forest.
Look what I found in the woods

I was thinkin the same thing, those ragtop roof clips are worth a little money. All you need is a battery powered sawzall :mrgreen:karfer67 said:
But if you took the top off, how would you keep the leaves out? :lol:

That's exactly the same thing I thought when I saw the picture. Knowing me, I'd already make plans to come back with a battery operated Sawzall, an extra battery and a few blades.
Looks like I'll be back to this spot soon with my friend's Honda generator and a sawzall for real!!!
I love finding stuff like that, I spent most of my non working or schooling time last summer wandering the woods on bikes. Found a ton of old stuff, I tend to mostly keep it a secret since I don't like seeing cool spots blown out, but here's some photos:
Speaking of bugs, my favorite old car dumping ground in Tacoma WA has an old bug with a really small rear window on it. I know that's one of the earlier ones, but it (like everything else down there) is completely rusted since they're in a swamp. There's probably about 15 total cars down there, jeepsters, few datsuns, packards, couple bugs, and a bunch of stuff cars that are so completely thrashed they're beyond recognition. It's easily my favorite place to hang out by myself. I took the seats out of the Jeepster and plan on using them for a '59 Glaspar I'm restoring.

always nice running across things like that :mrgreen:
i got a stromberg 97 out of a shoe box that was dumped off a cliff and left for decades(yes i did ask the people who owned the land if i could scavenge parts before hand to avoid police or getting shot) to rot...
and i bet the gauges are still in that one(along with the steering wheel).....hotfoot said:

Nice! I'd love to find an old Stromberg out in the woods. I've picked through all those cars and they've been stripped decades ago. My main theory on how they got there is that they were stolen, stripped, and dumped. They're all missing engines and trannies, I think one still had the block but that was it.
