I forgot to post about this a few weeks ago\u00e2\u20ac\u201cI sold my droopy secondhand Harbor Freight engine stand on Craigslist for $40, after it proved it couldn’t stand up to the weight of an International 345 (advertised weight: 700 lbs.) I got it for free about five years ago after helping a friend load a storage container for shipping out west, so it never owed me anything, and it’s good to have space back in the garage. That money goes into the project fund.<\/p>\n
Another friend posted a pile of parts for free on Facebook, so I’m going to head down to Annapolis on the weekend to pick up the only sheetmetal I don’t have a spare for: a hood. He’s got two in good shape, so I’ll add it to the collection:<\/p>\n
| Driver door<\/td>\n | Tahitian Red, great shape<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Passenger door<\/td>\n | Tahitian Red, great shape<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Driver fender<\/td>\n | Winter White<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| <\/td>\n | Shitty blue repaint<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Passenger fender<\/td>\n | Tahitian Red<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Tailgate<\/td>\n | Tahitian Red, in great shape<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Windshield<\/td>\n | Light Buckskin. Minor pitting<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| <\/td>\n | Tahitian Red. Minor pitting, still has glass<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Front grille and valance<\/td>\n | ’72 model year, Frost Green; in great shape<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Cowl cover<\/td>\n | Winter White, in great shape<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Inner fenders<\/td>\n | decent shape, need some rustproofing and patching<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n I’m really, really tempted to replace some of my sheetmetal with spare parts so that I can go for the full harlequin effect. I wish I had a good door in a different color.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I forgot to post about this a few weeks ago\u00e2\u20ac\u201cI sold my droopy secondhand Harbor Freight engine stand on Craigslist for $40, after it proved it couldn’t stand up to the weight of an International 345 (advertised weight: 700 lbs.)
