    Was out at my buddy's place getting parts and snapped some pics so thought I would share.

    Thanks for posting
     
  4. There's gotta be a HEMI in one of those Chryslers or DeSotos....
     

  5. I'd be interested in the 55-59 Panel Truck in the back of this pic!

  12. Looks like some work was started on the tailights of that '49-'50 Ford in the 4th photo. I always liked the body style of those Stupidbaker pick ups. Thanks for putin' em up.

    Great looking solid cars! Is this in Colorado? Noticed a few plates from there in the pics.

    Indy- He's old school so no computer or internet. Sells parts but not really whole cars unless there's a title. He's not the greatest with shipping unless I help. Located in Colorado. I love old cars and talking to old timers. Always a good time.

    Don't call them junk yards, they are museum's of auto history; just with no ceilings.

    Such nice weathered original paint on most of those cars. Just nice to see.

    Some friends and I were at our little Thursday night ice cream car show. One of them, during a rare break in the conversation asked, "What do you REALLY miss about the Old Days?"

    Larry said, "The A&W drive in!."

    Everyone mumbled their agreement.

    Someone else said, "I liked to be able to tell what kind of car was coming down the road, at a quarter mile away!"

    Everyone nodded their heads.

    Then, Ol' George began, "Well, what I truly miss about the old days is the JUNK YARDS!"

    I agree, On a Saturday hunt at the local yards, you could find almost any part you needed, cheap. You could learn new things, have an adventure, meet new characters, and take home your treasures for just a little money. On top of that, you could build something that no one else had but you!

    The Flat Head Fords are almost all gone, now......you rarely see a Jimmy-powered '34 Chevy coupe, these days.

    I guess you can still find a bargain at a "Salvage Yard", now....if you're into Tuner-cars!

    I can appreciate that, explains why the cars are still available. Have truck and trailer but colorado is a bit far for me, was hoping for kansas.

    The little chassis in photos "6 & 7 in second batch is the perfect set of rails (and front axle and all 4 springs!) for a '20s-early '30s Sprint car!
    Oh, if it were closer......I only need one more set! Or 2...
