There used to be a place in Cleveland on St. Clair (i think) called Heavy Metal Funyard. They used to do the $20 all-you-can-carry thing. They had a bunch of hoods and decklids with seatbelts tied to them and you just dragged it around the yard. Throw your parts on it after you pulled it off the cars in the yard and keep going. When you were ready to leave, you had to carry it "over the line". Usually you'd go with a friend or two so you had a hand carrying your hood over the line.
This one day back in the early 90s when me and a friend were there, they actually had a fairly solid '70 Chevelle four door in the yard. (a 20+ year old Chevelle in an Ohio junk yard is a true rarity). A lot of the big stuff was missing, but i grabbed lesser things, like the taillight lens and other small pieces. I dont remember what month we were there, but it was still winter. Snow started falling and while I was hunting around the yard and my buddy had the hood, the snow covered some of our stuff and got crushed by one of the lift-truck vehicles driving around the yard. All my Chevelle parts got crushed. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jason Boivin Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 10:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] great deal There is a salvage yard near me and thay are having a sale. 29.95 for everything you can carry. I went today and got myself the entire spindle assembly off of a Cadilac Sedan. Giving me 12inch discs. Guess I can't use my 14 inch wheels anymore the power brake booster,mastercylinder and proportioning valve. They have a core charge plus taxes but I carried the stuff out of there for 50 bucks. When they say carry it out they meant what you can carry. They have wheel barrels that you can use to cart your tools and booty around the yard in. Then when you check out you have to pick up everything and carry it 15 feet. They had old seat belt straps to tie stuff together. So I ties the spindle assemblie to gether threw them over my shoulders and picked up the radiator and brake assembly and walked out. I am thinking about going back and finding a tranny. 20 dollar core for that. So for 49.95 I could have a tranny.
