Well, as the saying goes "one man's junk is another mans treasure" and I have found that this is 100% true. There is a buyer out there for just about anything and as PT Barnum said, "theres a sucker born every minute". Take a look at some of the stuff sold on Ebay, some people don't know when to quit. Besides, are you sure that hood was junk?, it depends on how talented you are to make something rusty and ugly into something everybody would like to have, even hoods with lots of dents and bullet holes can be patched and fixed up pretty good with some good Bondo work. Yes people time and time again buy up projects that they end up never doing anything with, but there are a few that stay with it and finish. I have a 1946 Farmall H that was just a rusted up pile of junk when I got it, but me and my grandfather spend most of one summer on it and the engine was so badly seized we had to take it all apart and drive the pistons out with a block of wood and a sledge hammer. Today we use that tractor and it runs beautifully. Oh and we sanded, sandblasted, and applied alittle bondo here and there, and made a show tractor out of it. I guess things are what you make of them.

Flax provided the fibre which w
