I doing some welding art with auto parts, If you have old worn out broken, cams, cranks, gears, pistons, and rods. Please send me a message. I making tables and all kinds of stuff in my retirement years. Even old rusty hand tools are welcome.
Check out your local auto dealers. We have a scrap truck that I get my stuff out of, also my techs know what I'm looking for and save the stuff on the side for me. There is a warranty window period for holding onto warranty parts in case they get called back to the factory and after such and such time dealerships just empty out all their old stuff into the scrap pile or garbage. Here's a link I made a few years ago on things I make and some other guys shared their stuff, too. http://v8buick.com/index.php?thread...ke-anybody-else-do-this-kind-of-stuff.319026/
A friend of mine just stripped down a '65 Chev 283. I have all the valvetrain stuff from it. Cam, Timing chain, lifters, etc. You pay shipping and a bit extra for packing it, and it's yours. Dave S dona Ana NM 88032
