Just wanted to drop a line to thank all you guy's that was there, my buddy and I had a great time. We plan on going back sometime now that I have a list of stuff I need to pick up. That place was huge and a little wet . It's amazing what was lurking under all those weeds and in busses. I want to thank lulabelle and wife for the great hospitality. We all should get together and do it again sometime. Chassis, I felt bad that I didn't properly intro myself to ya. I hope to have the chance again sometime. I hope everyone made it home safely. Tokoyo, let me know when you get a chance on those merc parts for my buddy, he was stoked. later plmczy

Yeah I know what you mean. I got home and crashed in the chair, my legs were hurtin puppies. Thanks a bunch. later plmczy
Deuce....we did find a couple of them. There was one 40 coupe that must have been a rod in its day. There was alittle of everything there. LOTS of sheetmetal!!! If you want a fender or door for an odd car 30s to 60s they had it. Some of the stuff was in barns and busses and in real good shape. There was at least 3 hemis there. Of coarse NON of the motors have valve covers any more (TOKYO?) Found some ford wishbones and some other Ford stuff. Found a perfect pair of 38 Ford car hood sides and fenders. The yard is picked over pretty good. Not many 30s grills left. Saw 4 Pontiacs and they were all missing their trim. Saw several Desotos with out their grills. Saw 4 40, Fords all missing dashes. Plenty of good stuff left. I came home with a 38 Ford truck grill and an early Ford hubcap. Going back for more later. Tokyo wins the most stuff award!!! Thanks again Lullabelle!!! Wish I could have stayed longer!!! Clark
a few weeks ago i posted some questions about valve covers...well, i stocked up yesterday...one pair of baby hemi covers, 1 pair of early poly covers...3 49 cadillac covers, 5 nailhead covers, a y block set and a detroit diesel cover...still more there too...gonna get a gmc six cylinder, a mercury embossed y block set, and some other body stuff.. can't wait to go back...clark (picked over)..i guess the high dollar stuff was, but there was alot of good stuff there.. still working on coming up by you on sat..sawzall and i gotta do some convincin of the wifes ya know..
My computer is back up-and-runnin'!Thanks for a great day guys!It was a pleasure having everyone!I have some pics to put on sometime.
I had a great time just looking at all the cool stuff and meeting some new people.When and where is the next one I still need to find a seat for the coupe .
Mopar....Next weekend???? What kind of seat are you lookin for? Tokyo You're right ...the high dollar stuff is gone but there's a LOT of good stuff left. The first junkyard down here is like that one but smaller. There is a barn with alot of cool stuff in it and maybe he will take us through the one building with some really cool stuff. The yard is over grown but should be OK. Prices are average at this place. The second yard has less old stuff and what they have is hard to get to. This is the yard with the quick change. The good part of this yard is the more you get the cheaper it is. Let me know what your lookin for and I might know if they have it or not. Clark
SoWhat we went to Christines Auto Salvage to see about a hemi and found four cars a 331 hemi and an early Dodge pickup bed. The place has the township coming down on them and need to move thier stuff. Great prices he just kept throwing things in could'nt believe it. They are in Thomasville near Martins potato chips. I'll try to make it out next weekend if something comes together. Fat
FatABone.. Never heard of Christine's. Do they have a bunch of old cars? I was talking about Krug's and Lucke's Clark
SoWhat thier is some sixties cars and some older trucks. They have alot of rears,motors,wheels and trailers of stuff he does'nt know about. He said he'd open them for us next week to go threw.I saw alot of trucks and busses begging me to root threw them. Its close and cheap definitly worth a trip. Fat
Anyone see and 2-door Mer body parts...specifically the quarters? I pay well when I have the money...
Haring...I've got two sets. Got anything to trade? Mercman...I know of 2 in a yard but I doubt the quarters are good. Fatabone let me know when you're going to Christine's. If you don't mind I'd like to tag along. Clark
plum. good to meet you.. the best part of my day was snakin the packard air cleaner from clark and tokyo.... JT. thanks for the hospitality.. clark see you next weekend.. later sawzall
i am working on the wife..if i give it sometime before reiterating again that i want to leave her alone for a saturday, it might be better. fat...i want to check out those yards too..i will come better prepared on saturday, i will bring a wagon..ha! anyway, i had a great time in that yard.
Here's how I spent my Saturday, when I was 'spose to be down there with you all having fun. The help was there to hang the steel so I had to be here. When it's done it'll hold the motor home, snowmobiles, tractor, mowers, and all the other crap taking up work space in the shop. Clark, Let us now about the junkyard tour down your way. Maybe I can make that one. If anyone wants to head north for a junkyard tour "soon before it snows" Here's whats in NY. http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4291133481
Damn I need to quit working so much. Looks like you guys had a great time. Keep me in mind if you guys make any other trips.Thanks,Louie
Ditto on the thanks to you, JT. It was a good day & I had tons of fun trudging thru the mud and briars with y'all.
SoWhat and anyone else that wants to tag along I'm going to Christines saturday morning. I'm not sure what time yet I need to see when they open.We could meet at the Turkey Hill in New Oxford on rt.94 and rt.30 Fat
Holy Rat Crap ... I'm actually OFF on Saturday! You going Sawzall? I cam meet ya at your place... Spike
WEll....Lucke's closes at 12 and they have the most early stuff. Krug's closes at 3 and they may stay a little later. Curt wants some bumpers from Krug's Fatabone what time does Christines open and close? Will he stay later for us? CrossKeys would be a good place to meet or my place is right off Route 30. Clark
spike I am IN! THis christines place sounds good, but I wanna get to lukes.. and kruges as well. Spike.. I dont know if my bitch Tokyo can go, but I am sure that your sister =link= would want to go. (as his gayness precluded him from last weeks trip. besides he's been lonely without you... maybe we can all meet at my place EARLY on sat.. I PS SPike I should have those gay ass parts for you sat..
Did you say Gay Ass? Can you say that here? Link- When is issue #2 ( No pun intended ) coming out of Rodz -N- Keisterz? I added the "Z" thing cuz its the thing to do now and we must follow trends... SawZZall- I'll give ya a ring later in the week to confirm time and place. I just bought a little pick up truck (500 bucks!) that has an 8ft. bed. Just in case. Actually I'm just there for the pictures... Spike
i am not a "bitch"...that is soo 80's, i prefer "beeyotch", to follow the hip-hop scene playa... ANYWAY, i am planning on going...i buttered up the wife last night with some flowers, i plan on being there, where ever we go, it's all good.
OK let me just state this now...I WILL NOT BE WORKING ON SATURDAY! Screw that! As if I really want to be at work monday thru friday then I get stuck with more shit on a saturday? Piss on it! So let me know what the dealy-oh is for this saturday. Give me a time and place and we be goodz. Rodz-n-Keizter is a bi-yearly publication and the new issue should be unleashed sometime at the beginning of the new year. If the meeting place is at SawZZZZZZZZZZZZZall's, he better get his fruity ass out of bed early and have breakfast ready when I show up. Sister Link
I definitely want to hit Krugs to snag those bumpers Clark told me about, but wherever else everyone wants to go is cool with me. Once you figure out a meeting place/time, post an address and/or directions from the south (I'm heading from Baltimore). Thanks! Curt
