You both are incredible ty so much for thinking about us and the shot out. When Christina was worried about nude magazines, we both chuckled. And when you were in that office, I think we say a Canadian mounty box of some sort. So much incredible things to see and go through. And I agree with you Richard you would need weeks to get through that space. All the old parts and knick knacks are truly amazing. Great video, both of you.
Thank you friends. Hope things are going well.
@morewhattherust ups and downs, to be honest.
That's Crazy all that cool stuff it would be overwhelming, such a Awesome Honey Hole of parts.
Richard, I hate to tell ya bud, but you're starting to act older than you are....us old guys collect boxes and stuff "just because". So good to see you guys again.
So true Richard. We are gaining quite a collection of antique boxes.
Thanks for taking us back in time. So many parts so little time!
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
That is such a nice place parts for miles I am glad that you and Christina got all those parts hope you can use a lot of them
Most of the bigger parts we will definitely use next year! Richard is retiring from his 9-5 job at the end of the year and cars will be his new full-time job. Well...and fixing the 50 things around the house we've ignored to play with cars 🤣🤣🤣
Great haul, even if you only use a lot of it for display. Nothing cooler than a garage with old parts and signs hanging on the walls and on shelves. 👍👍🇨🇦
He did buy a lot of big parts. Master cylinders, distributors, water pumps, etc. Richard is retiring at the end of the year from his 9-5 and I'm ready to redecorate the office is old rusty, dusty car items🤣 he's worked darn hard for the last 40 years and deserves a cool office🙂
@@christinarust6957 I refer to my wife of 49 years as “ my prize “ . It is meant with the utmost respect and love, I see that Richard has also found his prize.
You're right Dan. I have.
Wow that's awesome wish I lived close california is alittle ti far from thet 🍯 homey hole man u lucky buns so jelly I'm glad u Two kiddos had fun
We definitely had fun! We were there a little over 5 hrs and didn't want to leave!
I remember my Dad bought parts from Tooheys when I was a teenager. He was the Station manager at the Main AAFES gas station on Ft. Knox Ky south of Louisville
Awesome Map 🗺️
Thanks Robert. It is very interesting. The city is so different now.
i remember the location when it was in business , also remember then commercials
You both did very good with the stuff you got. I can see why it would take days to go through everything!
Thanks for the video tour! ( I wish I could there).
You're welcome Vincent. Glad you liked it!
Glad you and Dalton hooked up. I mentioned you in his video. He was saying they were hard to find and it was right after your video of Tooeys.
Thank you for the referral. We are happy to help.
Yeah
what a gold minei can'under stand why someone don't go in and by up the whole ware house andput it back in operation great video
Wow, I'm really glad the word is getting out about Tooey's and I wish I lived closer because I bet there's a bunch of stuff I could use like a set of shocks, mufflers, 2.5" exhaust pipe w/ clamps & hangers and 67'-73' Buick 350 rings, bearings & gaskets 🙃
Thank you John.
Well, my experience with Glen was not positive. Called him, talked and he said to send a list via text photos. Did just that with part numbers, two pages worth.
He got the list, talked to him. Then nothing. Called back, left a voice mail. Texted. Nothing. Glen never called or text back.
I would've driven out, pulled the parts and paid up. But Glen was an @sshole & wasted my time. Most of this will probably go to the dump & scrap pile
I hope you go back
Hello Again From Mark In Kentucky. I forwarded your other video to one of my Ham Radio friends who is totally restoring his 1957 Chevy in which he was very interested in trying to find the correct parts instead of the newer parts that are being sold nowadays. Seems like I also sent Dalton a suggestion after watching one of his videos with his older Fords right after your first video in which I am very glad that he made contact with you.
I’m glad to see that old map from Louisville in which is even older than I am by around 10 years.
Glad to see that Christina didn’t put a knot on your head after my suggestion about the 20 ounce ketchup and squeeze mustard bottles. The Heinz and Hunts bottles both have the exact same flip tops that only let the contents out when you squeeze the bottle firmly. I filled my bottle with water and tried to make it leak out and it would not unless the bottle was squeezed firmly as I mentioned before.
I think your suggestion was a great idea! I bought the clear squeeze bottle because our famous milk container 🤣🤣 isn't made to be squeezed, can't see how much gas is in it and wasted gas. But, a clear ketchup bottle...without doubt...100% fantastic idea!
Hello Christina, The mustard and ketchup bottles are made of some good quality plastic in which the acidity of the mustard and ketchup doesn’t affect.
I am going to forward this video to my friend that I was mentioning that was rebuilding his Chevy. Maybe some others as well.
A few years back, The stores room was sorting out the older parts that we no longer had need of for the equipment or vehicles in the fleet. Once the stuff was placed out on the floor - It was like throwing fish into a bunch of sharks. It was a feeding frenzy for sure.
Seeing all of those master cylinder’s in your video reminded me of a Huber road grader that was brought in for repair for no brakes. One of our older mechanics looked at the archaic looking single piston master cylinder and said that it looked like the same master cylinder that was on a 1963 Chevy - The cost of such things for heavy machinery is ginormous at best and the mechanic pulled the master cylinder in which after it was matched up at our local Carquest,
Sure Enough, The mechanic was dead on with his observation. My point is that a good deal of the older heavy machinery used the exact same parts for certain applications that was used on the cars and trucks and a whole lot cheaper if you can find what you need from other sources.
Awesome to see the old parts again. A literal time capsule. I do have a question though: How well do these parts age? Like the filters, gaskets, and rubber parts. Paper gets old and can come apart, gaskets can come apart, rubber dry rots, etc.... Do they all seem to still be in good enough condition to be able to be used? That's something ive been thinking about. Thanks for sharing, Richard and Christina! 😎
Hi David. It seems most of the stuff has aged well. I did find some rust and deterioration of parts that were near roof leaks, but otherwise things are OK. Even the rubber in the fuel pump rebuild kits looks new.
Good.job cool Boxe 😄👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thanks!
Excellent video Christina :) , Richard :) Muffler tool is to clean shave metal if tight Muffler inlet or outlet to rimmed out so slip pipe on easy in tight spot in fairly twist in circle ! Like file in ways too also easy to clean manifold with too on circle ports too if dirty to ! Hopefully helps to that tool but put Muffler in vise use on spot if intake and output too when perfect circle shaving on metal too ! Hopefully hints help Richard and Christina rimmer too also ! How knew used one was when at local garage business in 1990's had do complete exhaust systems for local costumer car had V8 ! Nice finds Richard and Christina for fix up stuff working on and costumer too that local parts dealers can't get for you!
Thanks for watching Andrew! That pipe cutter is going to come in handy.
@@morewhattherust sure will Richard :) just wear good gloves so not get metal in fingers and be worst than paper cuts are! Be Carefull to and you enjoy it too!
when i worked for Montgomery Wards we had a tool that fit in a air chisle that was called muffler removal tool make just like that except it fit in a air chisle and the one you got you hit with a hammer it would split the muffler pipe where it would slide off of the exhaust pipe
That's right. This tool is going to come in handy!
great video thanks for sharing
You're welcome Howard.
Hopefully some of these parts will benefit you in future Will it start Videos
The bigger parts definitely! Richard is retiring at the end of the year and cars will be his new full-time job!
That’s my family’s old shop :)
It is an amazing place. Mr Toohey built quite a business.
Gold mine I could sell all of this ...
In a few more weeks the dumpsters are coming. If you want to buy stuff to resell, now is the time.
I have a 2008 CTS, would they have an “original” driver side front head light assembly. Do they have something that new??????
I didn't see anything like that in the warehouse.
Thanks for your reply
Citroën parts?
I did not see any, but there is a lot I did not get to.
I shared the video to Facebook
Much appreciated Robert!
