Uncovered Long Beach

Facade improvement work uncovered this great old hand painted signage along Anaheim Street.  I was lucky enough to spot it and snap this quick pic...I'm sure it has been painted over by now.

Some guys have all the luck.....

I crossed paths with this guy a few weeks back early in the morning.  I was on my way to the swap meet and he was headed to Fontana for some track time.  Guess who had more fun.........

Body Rot

I've seen this thing siting in a fenced yard for a time now.  Finally stopped to get a picture of it.  Neat and totally rotten

Timeless...

Missed doing a 4th of July post...maybe this will do.  The shield has been done over and over and over a billion times but it never gets old.  Check it out on this ancient Union Ice bag

FRADGUAL

Wood boxes are a particular fetish of mine and I like them in all shapes and sizes. They have been used for thousands of purposes, this particular being used by a serviceman to ship something home to a loved one, perhaps his wife or mother. The misspellings are nice but the reversed O and D are puzzling.

Home Built

Things are moving along at this estate sale, although I am getting tired of the dead animals! I found two more opossums and another rat today. Its just getting GROSS! Anyway we have this bitchen home built dune buggy for sale. Built before the fiberglass generation from a shortened pan of a beetle. Nice front suspension and tranny! LIVE THE DREAM $350.00



There's a good $500.00 bucks or so of VW parts here not to mention the awsomeness of the home built factor. This thing rules and should be put back in the sand!

Swap Meet Haul

I took a few days off from working my estate sale to get some fresh air and walk the swap meets. This is just part of the week end finds.
