I guess I wasn't searching for the right stuff in Google. -robert Glad to help! Ya know, junk yards used to be great cultural experiences, ther'd be a bunch guys with no teeth and tatoos on their knuckles like they'd been in prison. *You'd go out in the yard covered with kudzu engulfing the cars wiping the sweat off while you searched for that '56 for F100 thats s'posed to be here somewhere. *Along the way, you'd find all sorts of other cool stuff. *All sorts of vehicle fluids dripping a toxic goo into the ground water, a wonderful place. Went to a junkyard with my neighbor recently. *They charged admission like it was a damn theme park, a buck a head to see the wrecks. *They were actually organized in rows, each one propped up on old rims offa the ground for access, DANG. *They had an impermeable membrane covering the whole place so the crud would never touch the ground. *It just wasnt fun like it used o be. In an old style yard, I was looking for brake drums for my '56 F100 and was told that there's a buncha rims in that old Chevy truk out yonder. *Sure enough, it was fileld with em so much that the old trucks frame had collapsed under the weight. *Even the cab was filled with em. *I stuck my head in the cab window sorting through em comparing to my bad one, forgot about yellow jackets making nests in places like that. *Suddenly, the damn things are covering me so I go running like hell. *Abouit the time I out ran the yellow jackets, ROWR bark, bark, growl THE DAMNED JUNKYARD DOG IS CHASING ME. *I barely managed to get out the fence ahead of him with the toothless rednecks running the place laughing themselves silly. Yeah, same here in Atlanta, they have U-Pull-It places. Hell, where I grew up, I knew the people and would go there and get my own stuff. Like you say, the ground was always black, the place smelled like old oil, you'd go there on a Saturday morning and have some fun with the other locals while getting the stuff you needed! |
