Guest rickomo1 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Been refurbing cars for about 20 years as a hobby and i am curious who can tell me the record for mouse carcases they have found. I am up to 20 in my collection and am thinking of recycling them as glove box light holders or hood ornaments with lights, any other suggestions????

1937hd45 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I've got a fully mummified possom, that came with a barn parts buyout. Very impressive, my vet thought it was museum quality. I can post a photo if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mmuehlba Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Yes that is a good idea and I think I might take out the back seat now and get it all done at once . Thanks Mike .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Had a live rat come into the shop in the trunk of a Healey 3000. Chased him around the shop for about a week. Finally he jumped out in front of one of my employees who instinctivle kicked and actually killed the thing. Also learned the hard way to beware of Packards that buzz when you push them inside.

Peter Gariepy Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I bought a car that had a "smell" to it. Upon removing the rear seat I found not the remains of "pack rats" but their droppings. Literally 1 inch thick covering several square feet. Ended up getting it out with a putty knife.YUM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Huston Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Back in the late 70’s my brother was driving around in a 1965 Cadillac Coupe Deville. As was his habit he finally ran the car into the ground through lack of proper mechanical care and then parked the car behind my dad’s barn. Fast forward to the 80’s my dad got sick and tired of all the cars behind the barn that my brother abandoned over the years and started to get rid of them. A fellow bought the Cadillac and wanted it delivered. I helped my father load up the car onto a trailer and deliver it into the new owner’s driveway in a nice suburban neighborhood. As my father and I were in our truck preparing to drive away the new owner was opening the hood of the Cadillac just as we looked back we saw a skunk hop out from under the hood of the Cadillac in front of the startled new owner. With that my dad hit the gas and got out of their as he said: “Not only did I get rid of a junk Cadillac, but I got rid of a skunk also”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novaman Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I had a chevy II that both rear quarters were filled with snake skins. Glad I didn't find a live snake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Walling Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Matt, I think that what you found was the results of " If you think that you are going to come in this house with that greasy smell on you, you better think twice!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
