Hi - I am new to this board and finally got my 89 Fireibrd back. (used to have one 10 years ago!)
I remember going to a yard in Summit off Archer ave. Has anyone been there lately? Are they still open? This place was great - you got to pick your own parts!!!!

Thanks, Mike

Welcome to the boards. Don't know the yard your talking about as I live in Elk Grove. I usually head to Victory for parts.

I was just there two weeks ago to get a new rim for my winter beater cause I got hit by a semi.

Its nothing great for thirdgens. They had about 8, most of them where well stripped and I think 7 where Camaros. Its $2 to get in, but if you see something you want and don't have the tools they stamp your hand so you can get tools and come back.

Thanks for the info - saved me some time!!. Is Victory the one next to O'hare? I live in NW Chicago - so it is actually closer to me. Looks like we might hit 45 degress today - one last car wash before winter sleep starts!!!!

There's a place like that in Hammond on Indianapolis called the Pick n' Pull, that place is cool because you can see how the part came out for easier intall. Good Times

The one in Summit is good i got a gas door for my Maroon Iroc there it was only $5 or so, also I have been there a few other times getting things for my friends cutlass. There are always good showing of thirdgens there.

Not quite, I've been really trying to move a lot of body panels lately. However, I've still got between 20 to 30 hoods. The plan is to try and move a LOT of stuff out of here over the winter without bringing many cars in. Then, try to pick up a ton of cars in the spring to load up for the party. I've got a ton of $$$$ tied up in parts and I'd rather have it in my wallet that in my basement!!!
