Nice find at the scrap yard today!
Nice find at the scrap yard today!
So since the "Man" is on my case about my cars & parts looking like a junkyard, I've been doing a lot of cleaning up & scrapping over the last few weeks. This morning I had the remains of a '72 Supreme on my trailer & I took it to a scrap yard & they hauled it off the trailer & I got my money. Well as I pull up a bit to turn my rig around, I spy the rear end of a '70-'72 4 door Cutlass that looks pretty complete at first glance.
So I asked if they'd sell the whole car & of they say no, but I can pull parts. Given my present situation, that's probably best any way. 
So my friend & I spent about an hour pulling lots of good stuff from the car & I also spied a set of '67-'68 black buckets in a '50 Chevy truck, so I grabbed them too.
I recognized the car right away from several years ago. The then owner had clear coated actual hundred dollar bills into the hood (6) & trunk (4).
. Then he got mad when people tried to pick/pry them out of the clear coat.
Some one had recently stolen the car & vandalized it when they did. Screw driver through the gauges, radio, dash pad, front of the hood, rear view mirror, AC face plate, headlight switch, instrument panel, hammer to fender & roof, about anything they could break, they did.
I still managed to get a bunch of good stuff though.

I've found that one of these http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/automo...-shelters.html generally sorts out the 'public complaints' issue. Since there's nothing in view, they can't complain about that. It's a temporary shelter so there's no building code issues, and you can move it about if need be.
Hurst/Olds,
I went back today & pulled the kick panels, one has a bigger crack, one has a tiny crack. I forgot I had a set in my shed also. These are not cracked & just need a good cleaning.
Take a look & give me a call?

Thanks for the kind words. I do get down to Cincy on occasion, maybe I could check out your cars & parts sometime?
Greg,
Driver rear was damaged & those fit a 4 door only, but I assume you know that?
Professur,

Ron,
Deck lid was all bondoed up & the bottom seam was fat.
Bill,
Keep messing around with these cars as long as I have & you will.
