    ^ LMAO. Thats in Spruce Grove. Its in Central Alberta, there isn't too much at all north of there, just bald ass prairie and perhaps a few medium sized cities. Their cars & trucks all listed here. www.kustomking.net

    Here is the link for that specific car, yes its a '37 Packard. It'll be sitting & rotting for a *LONG* time though, as they want $9k for it as it sits.

    Those goofs want an absolute mint for their stuff. Its pathetic.
    I dont even bother checking if they have anything I'd want, since I'd be paying 2-3X what its worth even if they did have it.

    If you checked the car classifieds for my thread "FS: 900 unrestored cars & trucks". Their one of the places I mentioned in that detailed listing.
    EDIT: here is the thread right here.

    Can't quite tell from the pic but is that a short or Long wheelbase? I recently picked up a '49 LWB that used to be an ambulance...

    In WV the ecos aren't such a big deal but the tax man is. I know of one yard where old cars were scrapped out after aerial photos and counting the cars laid an unpayable tax bill on the yard owner.

    I took a quick look at KustomKing...they must have some pretty knowledgeable people working there. I looked at the '58 Chevy's to see what they had. Two ads list a 4 door wagon, which both turned out to be Nomad's; one listed a two door Nomad, of which none exist, and a '58 Convert was a '60. I didn't go any farther...

    I was there in person last week, they were quite arrogant too...

    I guess they don't want customers.

    Cool...I have yet to see another LWB like the one I have, it was an ambulance long ago. They are definitely hard to find anymore...good luck!

    These are the only two pictures I managed to take cause I forgot to take pictures until my way back up the gullies. But there are loads of car carcasses lying in the middle of the bush around this area, they have been beaten to shit by generations of weather and children. It makes me sad to go in there! I'll try and take pictures of the better ones the next time I go up there.

    Any idea what that cab is off of?

    It's a late 36-38 Chevrolet or GMC cab.

    That kind of damage is usually caused by adults sadly, kids knock out windows.

    Some Edsels found at a closed yard. Luckily, I struck a good note with the Amish guy that bought the property and he allowed me to scavange parts before they were scrapped.....

    ^Neat!^

    I just brought home this incredibly rusty 59 Edsel Ranger 2 door hard top the other day, poor thing has the entire bottom of the frame rusted out, I've never seen anything like that ion person before, but it turned out to be originally from Toronto Ontario... so that explains a lot. I got it for the hard top parts to convert a 59 Meteor 2 door wagon I have.
