Exploring a Junked 1930s Vintage Car On my Property

It is alright I need to know what I need to improve on I will take all comments good or bad just don't go overboard like the cache thread where EVERYONE had to say SOMETHING!!!

You're way ahead of me already. I haven't got a clue how to post to youtube. Slow down and try standing in one spot and slowly panning with the camera. Stop and zoom in on the important bits you're trying to show. It's all good.

I just found an app called VideoShop and I can edit cut paste combine videos and all of that I can change the speed and pause to change the scene I will use it in my next video which will be in a couple days

So you think it is a custom car

The thirties and years that followed were awful tough on many folks. Doodle bug tractors showed up built from car parts. Cars were cannibalized to keep other cars running and few things were really discarded but rather saved just in case they could be used. A pile of metal on the farm was a resource for material.
Too in time, two world wars and their effect on resources taught many people to use stuff up till it was not fixable, then use it for something else. That old car or cars on your site was not forgotten and just dumped, someone knew right where it was if needed. War efforts collected such materials at times too so many such items were hauled away.
Part of history. Here is a couple articles that make your find a survivor, possibly saved for a reason....

Jolt, that's a very unique find!! It looks like you were shooting the video with a phone. If you are, turn the phone sideways instead of holding it straight up. It fills the frame better. The VideoShop app should allow you to turn the video to the proper orientation when you edit it. As the others have said, take your time to shoot each item that you are focusing on.

Looking forward to seeing your next video.

habs

I am amazed you knew I was filming on my phone I am uploading two videos on YouTube as we speak they will be ready tonight or maybe tomorrow I know both will be in Bottles and glass section (for now I might change my mind later)

Wow, the front rims on that tractor look like thr rims from my '35 Ford roaster that I had back in the '50s. Frank
PS, The Germans also recycled!

I looked at it again yesterday and I think all the parts are 1953 dodge and I don't think it is a custom car anymore.

Very cool to have that on your property, I would love to have something like in on my property. I do have an 1890's trash pit full of antique bottles on my property though.
Here is the link to my post on it: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/today-s-finds/386894-1800s-trash-pit-my-yard-tons-great-finds.html

Also, whenever I take a video, especially on my cell phone, it looks like it was taken from a roller coaster, and makes you car sick to look at. So you are not alone lol.

 

[jolteon]

Thank you I thought I was the only one who had one on my property

 

[jolteon]

That is very cool you have that also

 

[jolteon]

How should I dig it I have been told that the hub caps I should collect I found one how should I look for the others?

 

[jolteon]

[jolteon]
