 Yup. That's what I was thinking. BUT if one did score a lot of parts and sold a few, the beer could be a business expense. Even a years worth of beer (or whatever) would be a minor expense when compared to the value of trailers full of parts. Especially anywhere east of the Rocky Mts.

 BTW, I had been fairly successful in ignoring the "voices" lately. This conversation has brought forth yet another bout of SchiZophrenia in me. I do miss the thrill of seeking Z treasure.

Trained bats could get into that attic and fly parts out at night.

This post immediately reminded me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This could turn into a lengthy conversation about the African swallow and in theory could it carry a coconut to the UK. Or more on point, bats with small amounts of flammable material attached to them released over a city. Drones, now that might work, call Amazon and see!   

Would a drone know the capital of Assyria?  

That's what scares me about drones, there all bidness.

This one will get the dash.

 

Holy crap Batman!

 I'm thinking lightweight parts. Early ash trays would be a great place to start.

I like all your ideas and I have seen hundreds of those bats up close and personal.

If someone is looking for an early ash tray, I think I have two or three somewhere.

I need the plastic door "handle" part on a very early ash tray if anyone has this part for sale.  The early lids were made from two parts, a handle and the main cover.

I recently found one of those handle parts in the glove compartment of the dash I pulled from a 12'70 parts car.  It's yours if you want it.

Thanks Mike.

I can send you something you need. Now or later. Just let me know! I have loads of stuff.

No problem, send me your address and I will drop it in the mail.  This is a very small step towards curing my Z hoarding problem.

If you come across one I am looking for is a series 1 unlit defroster switch, working or not, to replace or repair my old switch.  I lost the small spring that goes on the pin that actuates the switch, and that pin is broken. Here is a picture, before I lost the spring.
