Default Re: What is this collection of parts worth? (1946 NOS)

I'm sure a lot of you feel like I do when I look at this post. I have spent a tremendous amount of time this winter cleaning up and organizing 40 years worth of old flathead era common, stock mechanical parts, that it seems will never be put to use. 3 3/4" cranks, exhaust manifolds, heads, on and on. Sad that there aren't people tripping over themselves trying to get ahold of this stuff. I just moved most of the big heavy stuff out of the shop into a nice dry lean-to shed to get a cleaner garage area to work on as I have 2 transmission pulls to do this spring and the mess was overwhelming and hard to sweep around. It's sad to read the opinions on price in this thread, but I know we saw it coming. Good thing we did it for the love, not the money. Can't wait to get in there over the weekend, with luck I will see 90% of the floor of my garage area by Sunday afternoon and finally sweep the floor.
