When Parting Out a Cadillac, Happiness Is.....

[Jason Edge]

I just started pulling apart my 45th parts car .... I like to call them donor cars .... and thought I might start a thread on things that make my day as I go along.  The one caveat is the fact I am now retired and don't have to rush at anything, and can stop and smell the roses... ah I mean grease... along the way.

So with that here are some things that "tickle my bippy" as I go along with this last car.  Of course with 44 Parts Cars behind me I could fill up pages from past experience, but thought I would post these "New Happy Items" as I go along!

SO... HERE GOES:

- WORKING T-3 HEADLIGHTS!  ... just love pulling those original style T-3's that work! 2 of the 4 on this car were T-3's and both worked...of course they were the less-in-demand 2 prong inner high beams, instead of the outer 3 prongs, but you take what you get!

- 3 WORKING HORNS! ... Yeah I like things that shine bright and sound loud! Guess that is why I have been to see AC/DC about 15 times!

- 3 of 4 NICE HUB CAPS! .... This car is a complete rust bucket in some respects (e.g. hood and trunk lid are toast), but it has some really good stuff. I always tell people when you dismantle a car, and know they breake down into approx. 5000 parts, you are going to end up with some good stuff!

- NICE CRACK FREE DASH .... SEE THE PICS IN FORSALE ALREADY POSTED

- NICE COMPLETE CRUISE CONTROL DASH SWITCH/WHEEL ASSEMBLY ... THE THE PICS.....

-  WD40... GEESH I LOVE THAT STUFF.... I have to remind myself to take the extra 5 seconds to spray all the forward lamp harness connectors...MAN THAT STUFF WORKS

- DARKNESS. NO PROBLEM.... THAT IS WHY THEY GOD MADE 20 VOLT DeWalt LED LIGHTS!  Remember those old corded lights.  I have almost forgot them thanks to the Battery LED lights

>>>> SO JUST GETTING STARTED ... but thought I would share some of my perspective. Other's feel free to chime in. I'll post more as I go along.

Now imagine that beautiful piece on your wrist or hanging around your neck? Everyone would think you're the "MAN".

I could see someone custom making a small clock out of it, now that would be cool!
