R.I.P- Rust In Peace
Found this place while driving through LaGrange GA this Friday, Its on Hwy 27. They had all kinds of old cars and a sign that says "rat rods $699 and up". Some of you locals may know about this place but I thought I would share it anyway. All the trucks I could see were in the back and the sign said $20 for tours with a phone # (thought that was a little steep!) I could spend hours looking around there though.

Re: R.I.P- Rust In Peace
At least they're all for sale! $699 and up don't seem too bad... depending on what the "and up" part is

Re: R.I.P- Rust In Peace
I'd pay $20 for the tour. I can recall many hours of fun with my old man pulling parts.

Re: R.I.P- Rust In Peace
Worth every penny and then some. I'll pay just to make sure these yards stay around and open. Once they close all those lovely cars and trucks are gone, please support these type of wrecking yards maybe take home a new friend, as well as help the owners pay their property taxes.
