PA/DEL/NJ Hambers..Junkyard Party!

[Spike!]

OK heres the deal..I know of a great junk yard that still has some cool stuff at great prices. went there today and picked up some steelies for the Gay car and found a bunch of stuff I know you guys would love. Now, the guy has some rules that we will all go over once there. But its usual junk yard stuff. Don't walk on cars ETC....

My problem is that I don't really know half of what I'm looking at, and I know some of you guys can make a car from basically nothing..so... who wants in?

Junk yards like this one are slowly disapearing. Old tin and great junk guys that know thier shit are becoming rare out here. So rather than support Boyd Cock-In-Hand and Mullet Specialties, lets support the folks that make our cars different. Scrap Yards! We can all meet up at my house and caravan out there. Make a day of it. Then have lunch and trade stories later. Sound cool?

If I can fit it into my busy schedule of combing my mullet and polishing my gold chains (oh wait, that's you!), I'll be there.

Clark

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I'm in..sounds like a good ole time to me http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[lulabelle]

I don't like junkyards because they're dirty!Wouldn't it be easier to just buy new stuff? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Let me know when-where on both trips!I think I'll jump on the wagon as well!There's a yard in my area you guys might dig.Let's set up some dates.

[Spike!]

Rule #1- Clark has to be blindfolded to make things fair for the rest of us... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. Well, the trip must be on a Saturday because thats usually when I have off of work...

[plmczy]

Sounds like fun. When do ya plan on it so I can figure out a plan http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. Then I gotta figure how to get to your place http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif later plmczy

[sawzall]

spike i am in! which yard are you thinkin? the one down route one way? or one of those in jersey.

I think we need a tour of Kowalaski's (spelling) and then a run to a yard I know of in the reading area..

lets set up some dates..

[Dago Red]

Count me in too.

BTW Ed, I really like the new avatar.

[Louie]

Count me in Spike. It would be cool to catch up with you guys. Louie

[tokyo]

I AM So READY for this....i will be there, and yes, clark should be blindfolded, or at least asked to sign a waiver, something...I am stoked!!!!!!!!! just tell me where and when i will be ready! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[tommy]

Sounds good to me!!

[Curt Six]

That sounds like a good time. Keep me posted, too.
Curt

[long island vic]

[ChrisinPhilly]

count me and Jeff (from the hamb)in, although I dig Boyd.

[Spike!]

Great! sounds like I had a good idea for once.

Sawzall- this IS the yard we talked about.

I have to work this Saturday so thats out. I'm off next and every other one after that. So that will be...

Sat- Sept.27th
Sat.- Oct.4th
Sat- Oct.18th

I'm hoping for the 27th of Sept. Hope everyone else is free that day.

Spike

[lulabelle]

You say when-I'll try to make it.Anyone into a trip to my area yard?

[Unkl Ian]

This wouldn't happen to be in northern 'Jersey would it?

[Spike!]

Unkl Ian- Sorry...thats Southern Jersey..but you can still come anyway!

Sawzall- your idea sounds great as well! I'll call the Kowalskis and set up a date. Or did you want to do it on the same day? Let me know!

Spike

[**DONOTDELETE**]

In general, we should have an email list of the area HAMBers. My email is haring@fedora.net

[sawzall]

spike,

no i dont know kowleski, the yard I am speakin of is most likely still "overgrown" with weeds and such... we should wait a few weeks for the growth to die off.

and remember that englishtown, carlile and hershey are comin..

[Glasshole]

Let me know when I'm up for it.

Spike,
We don't want to blind fold clark that dueschbag can spot cool shit a mile away,remember he is injured and slow so he can point it out and we'll go take it.For Lullabelle I'll bring some disposable gloves and a pair of overalls for ya.

Looking forward to it.
Glasshole

[lulabelle]

Glass,I'd appreciate it!I also need a Michael Jackson style mask!

[metalhotrodgirl]

hi where is this junkyard? i'm in central nj and i sure my friend would go if he's not busy. i would need to know where the place is and what not .. the 27th is englishtown swap meet.but i can skip a day if my friend wants to go to the junkyard

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I'll volunteer to keep track of everybodies email addy's..just pm me with your address and i make a folder for them..Sean

[lulabelle]

You've got mine Rat.

[tokyo]

here's my email addy....the 27th is probably the best for me...sarah will be away in mn for a wedding...i will be stoked...

Bryanbarts@hotmail.com

let's get this going!!

[jeff]

i think this is a good idea, but i'd say that the 27th of sep.is too soon... give it a month or so to let the posion ivy and ticks die off a bit. once the leaves drop you can see alot more too.

[plmczy]

Anybody decide on a date yet? Towards the end of October would be better for me, these next couple of weeks are hectic for me. Like Jeff said let the weeds and stuff die off. LMK, later plmczy
rodkstm@localnet.com

[Spike!]

Hmmm... some say the 27th, others say NO.. we all know that the date Clark goes, theres no reason to go after that. Kinda like being behind the fat guy at a buffet..

Everyone that wants to go on the 27th PM me and I'll give you my #. we can also plan a second trip if everyone wants to, or as many as you guys want. This is one yard I just love because you never know what you may find. Great place for photography too.

Spike

[Kustom Chief]

Spike,

Let me know when. I will talk to you this week to find out the scoop. I am never on my machine b/c it is a piece of junk. It is like a wire job the night before a show!!!

Been thrashing on the 54. Carb just need rebuilt. Two weeks away from driving it for the past 3 months. Deadline...Greaseball.

Larry

[Spike!]

'Bout time you found this place Larry! Now post an intro about yourself so people know who you are and what you drive. Its tradition. I know youre the real deal, but these guys don't. Give me a call if ya still got my #.

Spike

[Spike!]

Oh yeah..one more thing about this yard..I found a panel truck full of old hubcaps! scored a couple of early Caddy caps, a '56 Olds cap (one) and scores of others that I put back. price? FIVE BUCKS EACH! Shhweeeeet!


Spike

[delaware george]

i'm totally into that....post a date

[plmczy]

Hey guy's maybe we can do this each weekend at a different yard. For example, one weekend we can go to spikes, then the next weekend or so go to the one by SoWhats, then check out the one by Lulabelle's a week or so after. That way if someone can't make it one weekend they could make it to another. Sound kool? later plmczy

[Spike!]

OK folks. I'm heading up to the yard this Saturday, September 27th. Unless it rains. Haven't seen an accurate forcast as of yet. If you want to go, E mail me and I'll give you my address or directions if needed (Mapquest,Yahoo work)

I like the idea of different yards. I'll try and work out as many as I can get to.

Spike

[Kustom Chief]

Ok Spike. Here is my intro.

My name is Larry. I have a 54 Pontiac Chieftain that is frenched, lowered, shaved, primered and flamed that I have been trying to get back on the road for the summer. I bought the body pretty much done but have been going through the mechanicals. I had to take it off because I was buying a new house out in Chester County from Philly.

I also have a 62 Grand Prix and 67 VW Vert that I am in the process of destroying for my wife. I also have the remnants of a Model A project like most of you in here.

I have been into cars since a kid (my father has over 15 cars). I am not sure what else anyone once to know. If you go to the Right Coast Shows you have seen me.

Here's a pic of my car.

Giddy-Up

[sawzall]

spike.

your friend

sawzall

ps stay gay

[sawzall]

kustom chief

Where are you located? Good to see another chester countian on here. welcome

[Kustom Chief]

In Kennett Square. I moved from Philly in January and have finally gotten settled in.

Spike, I have to find you number. Hopefully I still have it. I know my wife was cleaning so that isn't a good sign for my filing system.

Larry

You're in luck I can't go this weekend. I'll be busy sortin through all the stuff I got at an auction last week.
I'd still like to go after the swapmeets are over. I'll even take you guys to the yards around here. It will be better to let the weeds die a little.
Clark

[motor mikey]

You guys should see the quickchange that I just got from the yard. It's awesome. If anybody was watching, American Hot Rod was on tonight. There was a great shot of Clark and Boyd comparing billet polish.

Mikey.... are you going to Hershey with me? I'm going to need a couple of GOOD bitches to haul all the cool shit I buy.I figure you and Sumo unless I can find some mofre money somewhere. Hell I might even let you buy a pair of headlights for your father. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
