Any good junkyards in NC?

[geoman]

Going to visit my in-laws in N.C. this Christmas and wanted to know if there were any good yards along the way to Winston-Salem area where I could possibly get some decent body panels for my 67. Right now it has a 69-72 front end and the fleetside panels are toast.

I will be traveling up 95 to 26 in S.C. then over to Charlotte area and up to almost the VA line.

I will have a trailer with me so room shouldnt be a problem.

Thanks
Mike

what are you looking for?

[geoman]

body panels.....the p.o. put a 69-72 front end on it and the rear qtrs and wheel tubs are shot.

Pretty much picked out around here, plus sheet metal is usually rusted out.

[geoman]

that's what I thought...maybe I will get lucky somewhere down the road and find something hidden up there.

try a search on the locator at http://www.car-part.com on a popular item ('88-'98 C/K hood) and you'll quickly get a list of all the yards in the area. Call and few and ask them who keeps older model stuff.

[geoman]

cool, thanks Jon! If I can't find what I need, I may be calling you for some sheetmetal.

I have a passenger bedside in Asheville. It is in great shape, the only negative is holes in the top rail where PO had rails.

You guys are viscious in that neck of the woods. I stopped at New Asheville for directions to Charlotte and some guy sent me on "The Shortcut" over Mt. Pisgah into Lake Lure........that road's a handful....LOL

[1972Ryan]

yeah, but its a good place for hidden trucks. Where else could you get that scenery? LOL

all I can say is that Hertz got back a well-thrashed rental. That road's got about 700 tight 180 degree switchbacks that all but tore the front tires off....LOL

[geoman]

PM sent Ryan....we are looking at moving up that way to be closer to my in-laws plus a better way of life for us and our kids. Born and raised here and it is time to go now. I applied for some new jobs so keeping fingers crossed.

[1972Ryan]

what kind of job are you looking for?

[geoman]

Jon,

That website kicks butt!!! Thanks

[geoman]

I am a hydrologist for my local county govt. now. ....I applied on a couple of positions with the state that a qualify for.

I powdercoat on the side and want to open up my small shop too once I get settled.

We currently rent a home month to month for now. Taxes are high, insurance is high, people all over the place, its just nuts here anymore. And a ton of associations that tellyou what you can and can't do.

Look up Eddie Hamby in the East Bend/ Winston Salem Area, or give me a call 336.595.3900 Steve @ Classic Automotive Restoration Specialists Inc. I've got a good amount of personal sheetmetal stashed.

Steve

[1972Ryan]

are you talking about the website I sent you? if so I'm Ryan.

[orgalmeister]

Try Hamby Motors in Pfafftown, just outside Winston-Salem. he's a chevy guru of sorts. Don't know what he's got left he crushed a bunch. Still a good source. might even have some NOS stuff. His # is 336-945-3712. I think my '67 is still there. straight and rust free.

[orgalmeister]

Not to hijack but Steve did you find someone to fill the position you had in last Sundays paper?

Steve

[geoman]

Ryan,

I was talking about the website Jon sent as well. I still have to scheck out the site you sent me and write all of this down to get a gameplan together. With all of these great responses, I might be able to get what I need.

Steve,
I will try and call you when I am up there.

Thanks again!!
Mike

P.S. I will be there either on the 20th or 21st through the 29th-30th of this month.
