A group of us went junk yardin again today. We hit two of the yards close to me. The first had the best selection and we all took something home. I got a Wippet grill and rad and some hubcaps. Sawzall again took home the biggest pile. We have no clue who this guy is!!!! Clark
This was fun...those yards are pretty cool..the first was far better, but also more crappy to walk through. My legs hurt...must have put on another 15 miles i swear...but it was all worth it...i set of finned cal custom covers (thanks clark), a set of international covers, a gmc 6, some holley 94's and some miscellaneous junk...pretty fun...A definite again..ps. larry thanks for showing me the updated crib, you too clark.. thanks for everyone who showed up, was a blast meeting you guys, and look forward to doing again.
I missed another good trip! We had 8-10" of snow up here in the great white north. Roads were covered. It takes me 5 hours on good roads to get there. With my truck it would take me 10 hours in the snow! Did that Wippet have fenders on it? I know someone who needs all 4.
Great trip guys! Had a blast! Look forward to the next one. At the first yard I scored a complete set of '54 Packard Tailight assemblies. 20.00 each! sweet... Also found a spare tire cover that will make a great back fender for the chopper. I think the first yard was the best. The second yard is getting bulldozed into piles. Its sad to see a great old car four cars down on a pile. Saw a '68 GTO that way. Took a ton of pictures (mostly art farty shit). Lets see if I can remember all the names.. Sawzall Scarry Larry (there..your name is in print ) So-What -LINK- Assgasket (where do you find CBGB shirts?) Nappy (The artist formerly know as "meanestlink" Tokyo ( He was a big hit at the local convenience store..If I only had a People magazine for him to sign..) Curtsix ( What happened to Action Girl?) Who else was there? I know I missed someone... After the second yard it was pizza at Scarry Larry's place. That place is art in itself. Nice job Kim. I still can't figure out where to buy those DQ signs? I mean, where do you find a sign like that? After Larry's it was off to the So-What shop.. Got to actually see a part of Clark's collection! Get to work on that Bubble Car (TM)... Then back to Sawzall's and then home. Started my day at 5AM and made it home by 11;15PM.. Its a great kind of tired. Glad I got to see everyone before winter sets in and the winter projects begin.. Spike
Thanks Clark & Larry for givin' up your secret stashes, it was a fun day. I snapped a few photos, too- Sawzall falls for the 'trick door'... Some parts of the first yard had thicker brush than an East German chick... Soooo much cheap stuff at the second yard it was like junk yard Disneyland... Think I'm gonna go back for this grill and hood, might be fun to try to modify it into something interesting... Some cool fins... There was some bike stuff hidden in the second yard, too
Oh, man. The whole day was mad clutch! I had a flippin' rip-roarin' time! I really appreciate the effort from those who put this together. I haven't been in a boneyard since, like, 'Nam. And I havn't been to yard that cool ever. Lots of good old shiz-nit! I had a great time, and now the WIFE is jealous! She wants to go to the next one. Guess I had too much fun It was really cool getting to meet some other hambers; curt6, scary larry, assgasket, Nappy (I met him prior to the "great HAMB name change of 2003"), etc. One of the highlights for my year for sure...do I lead a sheltered life? Looks that way... I gathered up many new articles for the next installment of Rod-n-Keister after spending the day with these clowns ...Gotta thanks Larry and Kim for the hospitality. Thanx! Great place, btw. My day was really cool except having to haul Spike (aka hotrodphotos4u) and his queer ass all over the place. We had the two "lifestyle challenged" individuals with us, in Sawzall and Tokyo (aka Tom Green) which made the day interesting.? What a fuckin' great day via weather. Couldn't axe for a better day. I had a great time and I thank you all for including me. I am looking forward to the next one...as long as you all believe I am worthy. Oh! And those Buick grille teeth will fit perfectly and they will look clutch! Clark, thanks a bunch for everything mang. <medie whore> Cool shop! I need you too school me in spraying PPG one of these days. Boo-yah! Droppin' plates nation-wide! Well wotht he three herds of deer I had to dodge ont he way home.
Rob, I almost took that international grille shell. I should have...interesting. You obviously got there after me as the hood was wedged down in the engine compartment so I pulled it apart to see what was going on in the inside...Up Periscope! You gots dibs Nappy. I can see it already; whoever is the first one without a hangover on saturday gets the grille! Rock on brother Nappy! (guess I won't be getting that grille )
Clark thanks for taking us to some great yards. Had a good time meeting you guys and finding some cool parts. Sorry I had to leave early but I had to get to Christine's and get a car. What do you guys think?Cant wait to go yard hopping with you all again. Fat
while the rest of the knuckleheads were takin pictures I was scoping parts.. had a great time at larry and kims.. clarke's new wagon is cool.. (or should I say sues' new wagon?) I really dug the first place .... tilL i had to pay up.. It wasnt till I got home that I figured out clarke had stuck a sign on my back that said "NO cheap shit for this guy" oh well
I knew I forgot someone... Good to meet ya. That first yard has to be hit up again. I only took two rolls there. Plus I just know there has to be more '54 Packard Clipper lights in there somewhere. I mean, only FOUR cars and only ONE had both tail lights? Come on..Must have been that thick brush hiding all the others. Spike
Dang! Sounds like you all had a great time. I wish I could have been there, but had other plans that I forgot about until my hubby oh-so-kindly reminded me late Friday night. Such is life. If there's another one coming up anytime soon lemme know and I'll try to make it. I'm getting ready to go full tilt in the garage on the weekends so I can finish my Vespa project this winter and do some things to my car as well. Hey Curt, sorry I missed ya.. email me if you know of any stuff coming up in Baltimore.. you going to Night of 100 Elvises? I know some of the Karb Kings are going and can only assume you know them... Stacey
Fun day stompin around in the weeds, buyin nuthin, hangin out with everyone. Happy to have everyone over to the new place. Its cool to have room to fit a bunch of people. Now I just need a coin-operated beer machine!
that would be sweet titties....but then you would need more couches cuz more people wouldn't be driving ya know..
[ QUOTE ] Now I just need a coin-operated beer machine! [/ QUOTE ] Shit...25 cents a beer? I would be your new room mate! As long as you stand my "junk yard aroma." And mad fatabone, you prick... bicycle <which was actually cool>, that turn siganl switch was cool (albeit 6volt) and a fucking 97? for shit? Goddamit! You suck I would go Pro-Street with the BathTub... Just like the 50's bro
This had to be the coolest wheel. Gotta love the art deco plastic horn ring. Linkage did you get that wheel sawzall found for you?? Di you have to light your ass on fire and hang it out the window to get it??? Tokyo How about giving us the quote of the day again???
"E&J's are cool, I dig 'em. But at $1000 a set, I would just hang my ass out the window and light it on fire." Light the way, plus it feels good. Yes, I saw the wheel Gayzall drug out. It was in really good shape but it was not the correct yer. The 46-48 were not tapered at the hub like the one Fagzall drug out. If he wasn't so straight I would try to date him... Actually if you look at the pic (second to last) at the far right, tht is a 46 thru 48 column and wheel. Where the "F" was that? I didn't see it or I would have brought it home wiff me.
Whats the deal? I never get invited to any raindear games? J/K Did you see any chrome outer grills for the GMC?
Definately had a great time... Everyone there was nice as hell... I got to see evidence of some Scary "metal daze"... Total "Dio" mode...!!! Larry, your place is fucking AWESOME... I had fun hanging out with everyone... Spike was the king of "insulting price offers"... Sawzall, Larry, Tokyo, and Link gave me beer... Curt, Clark, and I tore through some of that East German bush to get to a Pontiac bumper... And just to add an element of dangerous fun, Clark took me for a hands-on tour of Krug's stacked monuments to Tetanus... Hell, one guy found a fucking BOMB in a bus... 10 bux took it... Whoever didn't make it really missed out... Oh, and i pissed on a VW engine...
Hell, looks like you guy's had a blast. I wish I would have went. You guy's plan on doing this in the spring sometime? I think we've started a trend or somethin . later plmczy
