Went back to this place today, and I must say, the high price of Scrap metal and Gas has definitely driven many people to junk Boxes. Ended up forgetting the camera at home, so I couldn't get pics of the Cars at the yard this time.

Had to catch a ride there with my buddy in his S10 because I needed to haul some stuff, God the S10 interior is cramped and shitty, my knees where on the dash for the whole ride. Was pleasantly surprised when I got there though. The yard was Loaded with nice grandma driven boxes, but surprisingly no Box PI's for the first time in over 2 yrs.


Spent most of the Day pulling parts for other people in the GM & Chrysler sections. When I finally got around to looking for the parts I needed in the Ford Section, I found a nice loaded '87 P74 at the Back of the yard, with a Near Mint Decklid. This Decklid is nicer than the One that was originally on my car before it got hit in the back. Besides the paint of course, all the metal is Nice, Flat & Straight, with only 2 small dings near the edge (which I can easily press out from the inside), the underside seams of the Lid where the Skin is folded over the bracing structure are surprisingly completely Rust-Free, this is the first time I have personally seen a trunklid that wasn't rusted at the bottom seams. My current Decklid is from a '87 Police Car (P72), and is beat to shit, as well as being drilled on the inside supports to mount a Gun rack, good riddance to that POS hassle.

The whole '87 P74 in the yard was damn nice, and was definitely a JY Gem. I'm gonna be going back for the Front & Rears Bumpers soon, as the Chrome on them is Mint, and I mean MINT. $60 for both of them, and $10 for some Chrome Polish, will be cheaper than having my Current bumpers Re-Chromed. Also had a Mint Red dashpad inside, if anyone wants it. I will have pics of the cars next run, provided they haven't been crushed by the time I get back.
