    Anyone figure that the ones that are rusting away are making those that are not more valuable?

    cool pictures, thanks. I have been wanting to snoop around in there forever. Yes, that stuff is rusty, and its a shame, but how many guys "save" this stuff, just for it to rot down under a tarp right beside their garage? You get the old" im gonna finish that thing one of these days". This guy knows whats out there, and he knows you cant do alot with it. I would say the stuff not for sale because of having to deal with jackasses, not just to let old cars rot.(my opinion)
    This guy has nice rods, its not like he's out of touch, and thinks thats all choice tin. Like corngrower said he wont crush it, and he does not need to sell it$$$$(thats his business) it bugs me when guys let old cars go too, but i could look at pictures of old junk yards all day.You cant save em all, I have enough trouble saving mine. thanks again for the pics.

    Not trying to steal the post but a few have been asking me about the junkyard run we are making. Some said they tried to PM me but couldn't get through. Sorry about that I had a option checked in my PM options that shouldn't have been. If anyone wants to go on the yard tours my pm box will take your measages now. By the way these are going to be rusty too.:p
    Later guys.

    Man, if some of you guys think there are not even any parts cars there, you damn sure need new glasses. There are even a few builders. Then again, if you're a yuppie who has someone else do your building for you, you probably wouldn't know the difference...............

    Sorry Brandon. I just seen this. Donnie Hennard still has the place on 11th St in Newport. The old yard on Rt 10 is open but not much in there. Chuck Hickman is working the yard now and renting the top part from Donnie. Chuck is a scrapper and not a car guy. He drags them in and ripps a few parts and away to the crusher for scrap price.

    "corngrower32" : Certainly looks like Eric's yard? If it is, that is a long distance away from your town....
