Went out to the mother in laws farm
Sounds like there is a sad story to this. Was there a death in the family? How did these cars, trucks, and bikes come to be sitting there? There are some nice projects in those buildings.

The father in law had collected them over the years with the typical "I'll restore them someday" idea but he never took any steps to keep them protected from the weather and they all deteriorated badly over the years.pantera1 wrote:Sounds like there is a sad story to this.

When he died everyone got to pick something and my wife being second oldest picked the Mercury since it was the car her mother rode to the hospital in when she was giving birth to my wife.
The only thing not technically claimed were the bikes and for some reason it seems that they'll sit there until the building collapses on them.

I'm pretty sure every farm I've ever seen has had a bunch of old shit laying around.
I will try to get out to my Uncle's during the summer to take pics of his car rotting museum He usually drives stuff til they either fall apart, or blow up. Then they make there way to the back of the yard. I'm sure this has been going on since his parents lived there and did the same thing.

3 Fords, 1 Mercury, 1 Honda, 1 Yamaha
Those bikes need a good home. There are at least two of them I could make all shiney again. Keep working on her Steve! (or give me a phone number.......)FORDSVTPARTS wrote:
