Funny you should mention this guy, I have been trying to get him to answer an email so I can buy parts from him.
I cant get him to reply?
He did once and then ...........nothing? graemlins/boring.gif
Now I see he is a business, although I dont know how he can stay in business if he doesnt answer his mail?
You say youve had good luck with him?
Mabe I'll try one more time?

I live up around the Gainesville area. We have a old junkyard called "Old Gold" located in Old Town, Fl. He is usually very high on prices though. I do not have the number, you will have to call information. I have also heard of a place in Jupiter Beach or Jupiter I believe called Muscle Car Express. I'm not sure if that is the name of the place either. I know of a place in North Carolina called Sundell Auto Specitlies. They deal with only GM "A" bodies.
By the way nice chevelle you have. Did you do all the work in your garage there? Why I ask is my shop is about the size of yours and I'm wondering if I can do a frame off in it. smile.gif

Thanks for the kind words about the car Aaron.
Yep It hasnt been out of the garage in 4 years.
The size is 12 x 24, I took it off the frame, stripped everyting,welded new quarters,and painted it rite where it sits.
Im finally getting it back togeather, put the doors on this weekend, most of the interior is in.
I must tell you though I painted it a solid color not a metallic.
I also painted it in pieces instead of all togeather and I kept it on wheel dollies so I could move it around.
I dont think I could have painted it togeather in that small of space?
It's a project to say the least, anyway thanks for the name of the yards, I am close to the Muscle Express and he has mostly new stuff.
Accually Im looking for a friend who needs a package tray for a 68 or probably any "A" body 68-72 will work.

Shelby, North Carolina. They also have a place in Slippery Rock, PA. The phone number for the NC office and yard is (704) 434-6759. Good solid prices and great help. graemlins/thumbsup.gif graemlins/beers.gif

I visited "Old Gold" about ten years ago when I lived in gainesville, FL. Lots of great cars, I believe ownership changed 5 years ago. Some junkyards also north of Daytona Beach of off A1A.

Great frame, and as nice a guy as you'd ever want to deal with. From what I understand if the PA location has something and you're closer to the NC one, they send stuff back and forth fairly often. But I recommend Sundell's. Ed.

"Old Gold" may of changed ownership, but its still in the family and try to avoid dealing with Wayne. Just my experience. graemlins/thumbsup.gif
