Default '56 vette

i wonder how much damage was done to that '56 vette if he used a blow torch on that fiber glass body. only a real nut case would do something like that.

It's my feeling that even if successful in locating the vehicle...ground conditions and electrolysis from dissimilar metals in the engine....would render it useless. The pistons would be so galded to the cylinders and bots so rusted in place that I don't think it would be worth the bother.

Look for old boats with inboard engines. I once found one of those with a 1956 Thunderbird engine in it. I am thinking it was a supercharged 412 CID?

ughhh....it wasn't buried. It was sitting in somebody's back yard.

Default Finding A Burried Car?

Although a regular loop should find this, use the largest loop available. Also don't use the regular swing method of searching. Search in a straight line and then move over about 3 feet. This will save a lot of time especially if you are covering acres of territory. A probe will help but any large target should be investigated Hope you find it!
