Before you know it we are on our last day and the leads are still pouring in. In this episode of " Barn Find Hunter," Tom finds some unique barn finds where you least expect it.

      As far as I can see he isn't a mechanic. He just likes chucking things together so they look like a veehickle and then expects someone else to come along and finish the job.

    Tom what a simply brilliant episode, I am a great fan of your blogs, since I was a kid (I am now 80 yrs young) have had a love affair with American cars, I dont know what it is but I have this fascination with car lighting, And the one I remember so well is the Chevy Impala with those rear synchronising indicators, I believe that the T Bird in late fiftys early 60s had them to? I am an English man living in France, and sad to say do not see to many American cars here. Just to see a Chevy with that rear lighting in action would make my day. Keep up the great work Tom.

    The tradition of the doodlebug is still alive in Sweden. The legislation that you can drive a tractor from the age of 16 was the death of many Volvo Duetts, being converted to short pickups with solid rear axles, dual gearboxes and a red reflex triangle in the rear. Epa was the swedish name given to doodlebugs from a old discount store. Today Volvo 740s are the most common builds, but with suspension in the rear and speed limiting cutout boxes to the ignition instead of a screaming motor on high revs.

      Easier said than done. Find a project with the best intentions, life has different plans and you can't do it but hold onto it with hope and in the meantime accumulate others as someone discards it or other means. There is never the intention to have multiple unfinished projects but we often overestimate our own ability to get things done....and then of course there are hoarders which I kinda undertand that line of thought too unfortunately lol
