| So Crovo, Al, and Al's boyfriend came over to the Palmer Pick-n'-Pull this morning. One thing led to another and we ended up stripping out Billy Mac's old SS...almost completely (minus the interior)...in about 3 and a half hours of work...LOL The car pulled into the garage on it's own power... It was a good time. Here is the first carnage pic...(sorry Billy!) Here is the truckload that the boys left with... There is a rear end, 3 Impala seats, an exhaust system, 1/4 panels, bumpers, and other goodies. And here is how the car looked when done... I'm sure they will post up some of the more interesting pics from the day...LOL Doug

| Yeah, we had a great time! Holy crap! I can't believe how fast we went through that car. And Billy, don't you worry, parts of her are going to a lot of our cars. One sacrificed so many could live. I sucked at taking pics yesterday. Mainly because I didn't bring a camera. But I did snap a couple with the phone and shot a few vids, too. I didn't think of it til after we stripped the car almost completely though. oops. First off, Doug is fuckin nuts. Taking a tranny out with no tranny jack? No problem. What about the rear end? Easy stuff. Moving a car with no wheels? Child's play. Here she is just after we stripped it, but before we ran the chain through it to lift it... And here's a few vids of Doug "loading the trailer." Don't forget to tie that thing down before you take it over to the yard... The score: Oh, and for the record, Doug can drive a trailer like a madman! Hit every mark on the first shot. Impressed! Also, they sure know how to grow 'em in Walpole! And quite a few found Doug's place while we were there! Must. Go Back. Soon. Thanks for the parts. What a blast.

| Billy sent me pics to my phone twice saturday to show me the carnage as it was going on. Sad to see her end up that way, but it is what it is. |

| Hahaha, someday I would love to have such car molesting equipment at my disposal.
Did the rest of that car get sent to the scrapyard like that, still looked like it had some usable stuff on it like the mirrors! | |

Yeah, but in looking at it, it really was in too rough a' shape to save. I know you had a tough choice to make, but I think you made the right one. You never would have gotten on top of that thing. Yup, as nice as it would have looked with a little cleaning up, a good look underneath found plenty of rot, enough that it would have been in the back of your head forever. - V8Killer wrote:

| I'm in need of a few parts if you guys managed to strip the steering/suspension.
I'm looking for the splash shields that bolt to the spindle behind the rotor. I need the 2 bolts that hold it on too. | |

Haha, they were just coming up to buy a few parts and I challenged them to help me set a B-body tear down record...They had the time, so one thing led to another and they ended up leaving with a lot more than they came for.
