we found a black widow on the inside of the upper back seat portion and also one in the hole where you tighten the shock nut down in the rear.. i almost stuck my hand in there until i saw it... the acetylene torch took care of him tho

possums arent so bad

there not vicious, and even though you might not believe it, they are immune to rabies

so you dont ever have to worry about rabid possums

I had an old golf cart that I was working on with my friends and we found what would prolly amount to about 5 pounds of rat droppings. Anywhere we looked or opened or took apart, there was rat crap.

All I found in the stang were random sauce packets and cig butts.

The part about the letter in the 1940's sedan reminded me about the song......"Riding with Private Malone". If you've never heard it.....download it and listen to it....tall about a tear jerker.

Well, I didn't find any animals in my car. But i found lots of RUST! haha. Well besides that there was a small pocket knife in my heater box, some bazooka bubble gum wrappers somewhere, some receipts, and thats all I can remember. Nothing toooo exciting

How did the possum live in there? did it like eat the straw? lol

Yep, that "Riding With Private Malone" song is an awesome car song and yes it's a tear jerker. But hey, my two kids still teasetheir dad (me)about crying when "Mighty Joe Young" died while watching it on the big screen in a movie theatre. Guess it was that time of the month, seems like I had just found out that I was going to need full floor pans replaced in the car that day too. Very emotional day.....

I'm hoping some folks may write in showing their buildsheets they found under the carpet or a note from a previous owner. I read on the HAMB site, a guy found a note and it was from the fella that hadrestored his car 30 years earlier. Can't quite remember what it said.

+1 That song is great, love the music video too (nice Corvette in it). I haven't found anything of interest in mine unfortunately, just miscellanous nuts and bolts.
