You guys have some good ideas, not many yards left around here to pull from. Vice grips always seemed to be the best tool if I could only have one.
Scrapyards/Junkyards, what do you bring with you

This ones from a movie
Yard owner likes young guys who know there vehicles and are scrounging for old stuff, last time I bought a Dog dish I found for $2.50

Nice ............. I love yards like that. Only one here now and thats been picked clean
I'm lucky there is hardly anyone that knows about this yard and the owner only mentions the back part (where most of the good IMHO is found) to certain people.

Really? Good for you to have something like that near by
This yard is one of the few left and the only one in my area that allows you to pick the parts.

we have pick a part yards but they are all newer stuff...everything there has four lug nuts on each wheel
Enviromentalists are trying to shut down all of the yards around here, this one however is grandfathered in, and they can't touch it, good thing too, theres trees growing through and over half the stuff in the yard, last time I was there I tripped over a Engine block half buried into the ground.

The wasp and hornet spray suggestion was a very good one. My brother carrys a can with him all the time after getting attacked while gettin parts from an old Pontiac in a junkyard in Michigan.
Might as well wear gloves. Oh, and a skirt. ;)

It's a must if you're pulling Hudson parts.
Funny part is my dad and I had a '53 Hornet. Fun, but huge car. That's why I laugh when people call my Fury a Barge.
Nice Hornet!!!

Was a great car had the Twin H 6, for it's size it could move pretty well.
We ended up being forced to sell the Hornet, lost our shop to keep it in (owner passed away), so we ended up selling it to a collector in Alberta, he has a '52 Wasp, our '53 Hornet and a '47 Terraplane.
I guess I've always had a thing for green machines, my truck is GM #38 Brite Teal, my car is F8 Ivy Green Poly and the Hudson.
