54Illinois Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) It never wanted to leave. Found as I took the window garnish on the 54 Savoy off. While restoring a 62 Thunderbird, my dad found a dog biscuit in the exhaust manifold. Edited October 20, 2011 by 54Illinois Quote

Dan Hiebert Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 My Terraplane sat in a barn for 12 years before I got it. Nothing got inside the cabin or engine, but everytime I work on the undercarriage "things" fall out of the frame - Fuzzy little buck-toothed mummies, nut-shells, whole nuts (not the one crawling under the car, mind you), tweety-bird eggs, etc., and even a wrench once.

Vintage Metal Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Speaking of mouse...or rat, I remember driving behind a 55 chevy wagon I bought, it had holes in the floors, we stopped at a stop sign and right at take off a 2' long rat leaped out and took off running! (I swore it did a cart wheel when it hit the ground before it took off!) When I got the car home, I got in it days later, started it and was pumping the gas to find 2 mice on my shoe after climbing out from under the dash...from inside the radio... I was a bit freaked out! Quote
Don Coatney Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Winter must be coming early. I have some open D-con in my garage. Yesterday I found a dead mouse in the middle of my garage floor. Quote
pflaming Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Find a lonely cat and feed him in the garage. No more mice and you'll have a companion. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 two problems come to mind with the cat..number one is that the suckers get on top of cars..thats a killing offense..second..if I place enough weight on their neck to prevent them from jumping on the car..the suckers can no longer be effective as a mouser...so..as did Don, buy some D'con and take the cat fishing..

oldodge41 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Posted October 22, 2011 I have always had problems with mice getting in the headliner of my Dart. The poison in the '41 is usually untouched but disappears quickly in the Dart. Last year I built a bucket trap with peanut butter bait and a used motor oil receiving pool. Thought it didn't work and went to dump it out, it had three mice in it. In all last fall and winter it caught about a dozen mice and the poison in the Dart was left almost untouched. Quote
