Junk Yard Run

I plan on stopping in the local yard this afternoon so if anyone needs something or wants me to keep my eyes open for something, let me know.

What is it w/ Dirke's? They must be crushing the f-bodys. One day they had 3 3rd gens and 3-4 4th gens and when I went less than a month later, there was nothing. I've never found anything decent at Albion and Shorty's are mostly stripped down to nothing from what I recall.

Some of the U-Pull-It type yards will drill about a 1/2" hole in the gas tank to drain out the fuel (from what I've noticed). I can't think of any that are worth going to anymore. I might have to go hunting in PA or DE.

They are like that pretty much everywhere unless you get to them early.

Re: Junk Yard Run

I go to junkyards all over including Maryland,Pocono,North/Central Jersey and I seem to have better luck finding parts the further away I travel.Although every once in a while I get lucky around here.
