Spent the morning at the junkyard, some great finds. PICS!!!

[DIRTYT]

i went jumping around the nastiest junkyard in south east michigan today.I was on a recon mission for some seats for another hamber.I got my new digi cam the other day and i wanted to snap a few shots for some people.This place is a little well known secret with michigan folk.They are on of the only places around with old tin still left. And they wont crush untill there is just about nothing left of the car.The old guy that runs it is a ornary old bird but ive known him for some years now and lets me walk around out back for hours on end.Today was a short stay of 2 hours. It seems every time i go i find more stuff i never noticed before. this time was not any diffrent.
Well ill let the pictures do the talking. so please wait till i post all the pics i have about 8 to post. and its just a hand full of gems i cam across mixed in with the late models.Some things i dont know what there are (im still learning) so feel free to fill in the blanks.

First up is a 37 or so chevy humpback sedan. very ruff shape.

[Fast Elvis]

So Bryan..........what did you drag home to add to the stable of projects you already have on the go? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[hotrodladycrusr]

It's too bad about there not being the seats there but I am really looking forward to trompsing though the mud with you there on Saturday looking for bumpers. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for posting thoughs photos, you got me excited http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[DIRTYT]

didnt drag home any thing new F.E. im allready in over my head with what im suppose to have done by spring any way. i just like to dream. and look for parts i can stick on the 50 http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[dvlscoupe]

IS there a field trip coming up...I saw some things...
or perhaps you could just tell me where that joint is B!

[Kartsa]

I see there is couple of T-Birds.My friend is looking for horn ring for his -60.They are pretty hard to find in decent shape.

[SlowLearner]

That flattie looks like it might be a 331 Lincoln motor. Hard to tell, but those look like BIG (flat) heads.

[DIRTYT]

yea dvlscoupe its top secrete. me and a few other hambers know about it. i can take ya there but it will involve a blind fold and a donkey http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

and i dont think thats a lincoln motor unless it was swapped in cause its sitting in a 49-50 shoebox. ill get more pics saterday when i go back. i had to be kinda sneeky becuase i diddnt want them to think i was from the e.p.a http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif trying to get pics of the waste land!

and kartsa ill look to see if they have any good horn rings for your buddy. i allready have a huge list going of stuff to ge prices on for other hambers...

Bryan

[Benzine440]

That's a 55 Olds. You can tell by the tusks on the grill. 56-no tusks.

[47Plym]

Aren't those old junkyards interesting and fun??? It is amazing how you keep seeing new stuff. Most of the oldie yards are gone here in SW Missouri...just lost a big one south of here (J & M in Goodman, MO) to the crusher. Owner had health problems and no buyer could be found for the place.

[kustombuilder]

that Ford truck is a 40-47(?)ish and it's in worse shape than the junker one i have in the driveway right now, WOW!

see if you can't get that hood from that 49 Chevy cheap. that one that is going to the crusher. i can cut it up and use it for other stuff http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

[DIRTYT]

see i orig that truck was a 40-47 but second guessed my self. and some reason 34 poped in my head and so thats what i put down. ill see what he wants for the hood...

[dvlscoupe]

Well I don't know about the donkey but the thought of being with you while blindfolded is giving me goosebumps and would be worth the trip alone...Oh and I have a truck you could fill up!

[Levis Classic]

You Detroit bastards need to get up here to see a real Bone yard!

Better hurry we are in the snow season ya know.

[Fat Hack]

I've been to this Top Secret joint with Dirty...it's chock full of cool finds that aren't pictured!!! Wait till spring when we go up to MY secret hideaway to rape and pillage the old tin there!!!

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[DIRTYT]

can i bring the donkey http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[WildWilly68]

That Edsel in pic #3 reminds me of one we had when I was a kid....about the same condition then too! Except that one is a 2dr and ours was a 4dr HT Citation model.

[kustombuilder]

DirtyT, if you don't mind would you see what condition the trunk lid is in? i need one that will fit a two door sedan and i THINK the 4 door sedan will fit. if it is all rusted out forget it. i can find a solid one somewhere.

[choprods]

Bryan- Id like that 55 Olds grille bar -can u price it from him?

It's spelled "Domke"

[dvlscoupe]

I was goin' for the grill bar man...But if I don't go I'm sure Dirty can help ya out http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Mike Landwehr]

I was gonna say GRAB THAT OLDS GRILLE BAR its gold in trading material, other than that, the 37 chevy cpe needs to be saved FAST, hell even the deck lid is there ,Can you say GASSER! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[DIRTYT]

yea 4t64rd allready has dips on the grill bar. and that 37 is trashed so bad there is no saving it. there are even rust holes in the dash http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

[Mike Landwehr]

dang shame then,it looks like it was a gasser at one time or at least a rod

[DIRTYT]

well i know it was never a gasser there is no straight axle on it. the stock spindle has some huge gearbox looking thing attached to it. i was kinda confused by it. its kinda hard to tell what was going on with it in person. i does have one good headlight bucket though!

30 something zephyer sorry now trans. hell there's not much left of this one either

Next time you are out there, could you check and see if the Zephyr has the dash in it and the center gauge. I would be interested in it if it does.

[Spooky]

Damn,
That looks like mine when I started....EXCEPT IN BETTER CONDITION!

Do me a favor next time you are at the yard, check and see if there is any Edsel Dealership items on the car. Items like license plate frames, chrome Dealership tags on the trunk or on the back of the car and if it has Edsel floormatts.
I am a huntin' for those.
Thanx.

[Harrison]

30 something zephyer sorry now trans. hell there's not much left of this one either

I'd be interested in the dashboard and/or taillights off this car.

Thanks, JH

[Hot Rod To Hell]

Hey, as long as you GMB can give me a little notice, I may be able to grace you with my presence on trips like this....:rolleyes:

[Aaron51chevy]

Now that spring is on the way I'm in for ANY trip to local yards. I know of one north of Lapeer I need to get to again. Dirty I wanna go wit you!!!! Actually on that 49 chevy there are still some parts I'd take, bumper, fenders etc. but it's prolly crushed.
Anybody been down Grange-Hall road west of Holly?? There is some nice items out that way, anyone know the story??

[JonnyRockets]

u all know what this thing is. still have drive train in it!

I don't - What is that car. on my last trip, I saw one of these by the side of the road - I have pics somewhere, and was wondering if I should pursue it. It looked in pretty good condition, and I like the overall look of the car!
