Fuel Lines

Well its late October, leaves have turned different colors of reds yellows and browns. Another summer has come and gone and winter is knocking on the front door. The crisp cool air seems to provide me with more attention and motivation. I had a opportunity to spend a Friday at a local scrap yard looking for odds and ends for the Coronet. The gentleman that runs and owns Classic Auto Recyclers In Langley is a great guy to have a conversation with. I've dealt with him in small doses in the past but he seemed occupied and the conversations were always very short. On this day however I was the only one around and business was slow. After I mentioned what parts I was looking for and what they were for he remembered my previous visits.

      The yard was full of older cars and trucks ranging from 1960 to 2000 and a couple of 50's era cars that were stripped down to a nub. Places like this are getting harder and harder to find. Most of the scrapping business run 2000 to current date. This is a small block goldmine! After a tour of the yard and getting to know a little about each other he asked me if I brought any tools. Lucky for me I always keep a few tools on hand. There was a small amount of trust on his part after our conversation and I was allowed free reign of his little goldmine. After a very reasonable fee for my hand full of treasures we spent another half an hour chatting about the ones that got away I was headed back to the garage.

      The 1950 Dodge Coronet now has complete fuel lines and a electric fuel pump. Its nice to see a lot of the small things being crossed off the do list. Motor mount bolts, power steering bracket and fuel lines. As I get closer to paying off my truck I get more and more excited knowing ill have that much more cash to put into the Coronet. Going to ask Santa for Gauges or maybe a shifter for Christmas. Well I'm going to post a couple resents for your viewing pleasers.
