So my oldest daughter and I went to one of the local junkyards to check about some parts for my 67. The window regulator was bad on it and the wing glass had been glued shut, due to the pin being broken off the bottom. Anyway, I brought home a drivers door with everything I needed for only $10. Took about half an hour or so to change the parts over to my door. Sure is nice to be able to roll down my window now. I know it's not a major accomplishment, but just thought I'd share it with all of you. Still need to find some mirrors with brackets, but that's another day.

There's something therapeutic about it. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 121 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 121 | good days in the junkyards are great. and the finds are better

Not only did he cop a great bargain at only $10, and he got to do the work himself for a sense of accomplishment(that's the gravy part)but he got to do all of this with one of his kids(PRICELESS)!!
Kudos to you Rob.

He has a good bit of older stuff, but is only known by word of mouth. I've been tempted to take my camera up there and get you guys some eye candy, but not sure how he'd feel about it. But if you need something for your bolts, I'm sure I could check it out for ya. I don't get to go up there as much anymore since I'm working two jobs now.
dj what you said is a big part of it, I've got to do alot of things with my kids working on old vehicals and equipment, and that's worth alot! | | |
