Hot Rods -15 below.....lets for to the junkyard!!

So its cold up here, and we needed some parts for some projects, so we decided to go to the junkyard, woke up, 15 below, what the heck!

we got a 54 plymouth belvedere dash for Stacies roadster and i picked up a late 50's gm generater and genarator brackets and short water pump pullys, and a fan and a few other trinkets it was fun.

We went to French lake Auto parts, if your local and you havent been there, your missing out.

It is family owned and run, 396skip here on the hamb is one of the sons and a great guy, if you need something pm him.

Man that is too hard core for me...I would have had to have brought the torpedo heater and a long *** cord. I don't mind cold but that's rediculous. props

 

15 below...hell no...it got to like 18 last night and i thought i was gonna die...

 

You guys are killing me with all the whinning. It was a whole 67 out here in Cali.

 

Wind chill here right now is -21...and I just brought the garbage out barefoot in shorts and a t-shirt...Minnesotans are tough...

 

******** man. It was around 9 in KC today. I didn't hit a yard but i did get a tat and that was mercifully indoors.

 

I do the same thing, people think I'm nuts.

 

Man on the coldest days around here the u pullit yard is so busy it's crazy,looks like some good scores. Nice complete dash!

 

15 below! That's nuts!

Couple of us were thinking about going to the Pick-N-Pull this weekend but decided against it since it was in the 20's.

Nice score!

 

or just plain nuts...

 

In some places they have other wordws that describe that

 

Wish the wrecking yards around here had parts like that. Our local Pick n Pull has all the Taurus and Cavalier parts you can handle. Not much good for a traditional rod. However we got above freezing for the first time in the last month today.

 

Check this out! This is at my buddies shop here in edmonton alberta canada. We had to dig all these cars out to get to the shop door.

At 15 below you guys can have everything in ever junk yard in the country. I've done my time freezing I'll fight the mosquitoes when it gets warmer. of course you can still post what you find and I'll feel free to hate you

I would go out in that for parts. I was just in the shop working on my 60 gmc and it's pretty cold here. Not 15 below, but pretty dang cold.

 

i went today and the old man at the yard wouldnt let me in and its 25 here

 

any day is a good day to go parts shoppin. but , damn , that is cold!

 

damn ya'll with warm weather just don't know the fun of cold it's 2 am here and -2 and were expecting to hit -8 before morning and I'm up early getting ready to go set up deer decoys and get my self climber latched to a tree ((( right off the river ))) with 20 mph winds I'm figuring on atleast 23 below zero wind chills and I'll be in the stand by 6:30 and hunt untill 5:20 pm all day ((( last day of muzzle loading ))) and I take no Coffee or anything just bundle up ((( but not to heavy or bulky because I have to climb a tree ))) I hunted this morning ((( jan the 9th ))) my 40th birthday and never got too cold to quit ... Damn writting this and reading this makes me thing I need better hobbies and perhaps a few brains ... LOL ... FOR YOU OLD ****S THATS LOL = Laughing out loud ... damn speaking of old ****s thats the first time I ever typed that I'm 40 guess I'm there too ...

 

Down here in Florida I do my junkyard divin on the cold days, it was about 30 here this morning and we were bundled up diggin thru the junk without a worry about draggin up a snake. Spike

 

***AS...-15 and -21 holly ****ers. can a human go out side in his shorts in that kind of weather. i don't think so. i think the government should be looking in minnisota for alian beings...POP.

 

-15 would be pushing it, but I spent Thursday afternoon in the you-pull-it, Friday afternoon in the you-pull-it, and Saturday afternoon outside working on an O/T van. I think it actually made 30 on Thursday, but never got past 15 today. At least I finally got a fricking exhaust system put together on something, after swapping both manifolds out.

Those Plymouth dashes unbolt?

 

that's the only thing good from cold weather. just a few weeks ago walking to the mail box i just about stepped on a rattle snake in the middle of december on about a 50 degree day

 

When your hands are super cold and you bang them on something super cold. OH MY GOD it hurts

 

Yeah, Mopar dashes unbolt...if you can get the rusty screws loose...I wanted to take the dash on my '40 out to give me access to recess my firewall easier, but I'd have to remove the windshield to drill out the rusty/stuck screws...

 

- 15 is a little cold .I did 22 degrees a few weeks back and it wasn't that bad .Wind and sun are very big factors ,I guess if you dressed warm enough and there was no wind you were fine ,I still think you guys are crazy.But who am I to judge.....

 

I can not even imagine that. I have seen snow once in my life (1985) and this whole town shuts down with the first glimpse of ice.

 

I wish we had a decent pick-n-pull here.
You could get an extra tan offa the chrome.

 

I dont need anything that bad from the junkyard that cant wait,usually what breaks this time of the year can be bought at the parts store and I have enough vehicles that one can sit untill it gets above freezing or the sun comes out,the last time I went when it was below 20 I could not get what I wanted since the ground was frozen.

 

Jeff,...all I know is you Mn. guys are so lucky to have Windy Hills AND French Lake; you guys already have an idea what heaven will look like....but it'll be 75 degrees all the time!

 

I've spoken with Floyd a couple times-great guy. They have a hood and two front fenders along with some odds and ends I really could use but they're big and don't know how to get them to Tennessee without spending a fortune.

I haven't called in a while cause I figured it was so cold and the snow so deep there this time of year that one couldn't see any cars.
