I'm just south of Mt. Pleasant, and live just a few miles from Hilliard's junkyard near Vestaburg. It looked closed most of the summer, but I went back a few days ago and Erv was there and his kid too and they let me and a couple guys from Grand Rapids walk around. I've been to Swains, which is between Mancelona and Bellaire, and Hilliards has older stuff, and a lot of Swains looks like it was pushed in piles with a bulldozer. I also found another yard just north of Harrison, you can just see it through the trees on southbound us-27. They have mostly 60's-70's cars and some trucks with some 50's, a few 40's. The guy let me walk around, but when I asked about a junkyard crawl he said no big groups, and he didn't like cameras. Red
No way, Irv was still kickin huh? Thats gotta be Fox's by Harrison. Lots of Camaros and Novas up there. Not much for really old stuff. I'd like to see the 32 pics too if you find some.
I took sephie there last summer. It's about 3 miles away from the inlaws. He pee'd his pants at least 5 times!!! I love that place. I usually wander around there at least once a year. I don't live up there though, I'm way down in Davisburg.
Guess the place isn't such a big secret We could have a weekend junkyard crawl/pj party in the spring and hit a few of them in that area. My folks have a vacation place not far from there that sleeps six, 12 if ya stack'um with plenty of floor space as well. I do I hear "road trip"?
Hey Frank where abouts in Bay City do you live? My grandparents live on Kilarney Beach and my Parents keep their boat at Wheelers Landing. I've been going there my whole life for vacations. Posterchild I'm in Auburn Hills where abouts in Rochester Hills are you? There are a couple of other guys close by as well, Buckle in Lake Orion, and Chuckspeed in Bloomfield.
Midland here, nothing cool yet. I just bother hatch a lot, college kills projects. The only yard I frequent is Hoopers but I havent been in a while, they know what everythings worth and hide the good stuff.
Fiveo, I'm in Midland too, haven't been to Hoopers in years. I didn't know they were still there. Some of these other yards sound very interesting!
I am on the west coast in Muskegon. I am always willing to hangout with fellow HAMBERS and have a shop full of brake lines, DOT 5 etc. at very cheap prices for helping out freinds. I am in the process of finishing a 29 Pickup, 31 five window Model A and other projects. Gary M.
I am in Flint, at the present time, I do not have a car or project, so I have nothing to show off. I would be glad to meet up with some of you new guys, and I suppose I could put up with the usual suspects too. -Joe BTW- Flint isnt as bad as everyone thinks it is.
Im in Jackson .. Cant really hang out till after deer season. we got late doe here too so ill be huntin till january 1st. Only one more day this week and im off till dec 4th Yaaaaaaaaaaa Hooooooooo Dave
I'm in Imlay City, right between Flint and Port Huron. The exact centerpoint where nothing cool ever goes on.....
PC, I am down on 15 mile & Crooks on the Clawson corner. Unfortunately between work, a new family and house renovations, time for car related activities is null, but time is still made. That said, if you ever need a hand let me know.
wow thanks guys this board is great and i would be down to hang out with anyone i could bring the 29 a or the 34 pickup whereever i live at crooks abd rochester road area if anyone ever needs a place to crash or whatnot i just got a new house with .5 acre and a really nice detached heated garage im looking for a new project body to make a t bucket style sled out of something without a top if anyone has any ideas for a body let me know i dont care what condition its in here is what i have done so far
HOLY CHRIST! think ya got the grill shell high enough on the sedan??? if ya ever run out of shit to work on just head on over. i'll keep you busy for YEARS!!!!!
Kinda funny how it's posted all over the place here plus a certain party has even taken people there and you expect guys not to know about it! Enough pictures were posted in the past that I recognized which yard it was before it was let out where it was at
I'm here in Berkley, right next to Royal Oak. I'm laid off, so that means I'm either always in the garage, or in the bar. I try to split my time evenly between both.....that way I can't be accused of being a drunk OR a car fanatic. I like to walk the fence ya know. Anyway, there's always a few HAMBers hanging out at my crib or with us at the bar...give me a holler.
I'm near Houghton Lake,........ The Yard in Alger is "Wolverton", most of the old stuff is sunk into the ground.
I'm a recluse (mostly 'cause I don't have anything running) but I hope to be out this summer! I'm also in Bay City with Fab32 and Lucky77. I keep on threatening to hang out. I just might follow through one of these days. Interestingly enough, I've been to quite a few shows with some Hambers at them and I haven't introuduced myself. I may prefer to remain anonymous until I get something on the road. What you've done shows more cred than talking about what you're going to do!
I was just up to Bay City today. I ate at Kryzacks. I am still stuffed. I was working near there in REESE.
Nice looking rides Posterchild! I'm at Auburn and Squirrel, not too far away. Your welcome to come over anytime, we'll have to get together at some point. Unclerichard where abouts are you? I grew up in Owosso.... Oh yeah GO BLUE!
Anyone know the guy in New Baltimore with the 36 Chevy frame for sale? I'm in Atlanta but thinking of a road trip.
