Kenny J.'s Excellent Big M Adventure
Author: Kenny J. (Show all albums)

I took a drive up to one of the places where Forward Look cars go to die and donate their parts for the others still on the road. Here are some pictures from my May, 2009 visit.

This ancient air compressor still gets the job done.


The front of the former dance hall.


John erected this second building for additional storage.


And yet another Fury in John's collection.


On the way back to the Big M yard, we passed a California Northern freight going about its business. The trackage in this area is in excellent condition, allowing these trains to travel at a decent speed.


We put the '60 Plymouth to work as a torch holder.


If you saw the movie "Sugarland Express", you may remember a similar two tone green Buick. Before John acquired this car, it was parked in an East Bay yard where neighborhood punks pushed pipes through the fence to bust out the glass. John has the glass available for the car. He also recommends that its small block Chevy V-8 be replaced by a correct 322 Nailhead. I suggested that a 401 or 425 Nailhead might be better.


I'm sure some ambitious member will undertake the restoration of this Plymouth coupe.


It seemed the '67-'69 A body sedans would last forever. But here's one in retirement.


Another view of the white (formerly blue) sedan.


An abandoned paper wasp nest. I encountered three active nests, including one on the car we pulled the drivetrain from. There is nothing nice about these critters once you anger them. And it takes very little to get them worked up.


The deteriorated condition of the wasp nest seems to match that of the sheetmetal above. Imagine lying on your back, removing trunk rods, then suddenly realizing this is right above your face.
