    Going to go visit the LAMAS:bouncy: they open up at 9am and close at 5pm
    so as long as it doesn't rain i will be pullin parts all day. this time i am going to
    take a GPS and mark each one (40 ACRES). and will be taking more pictures
    of each car. I am also taking some forms with me to get the VIN and door
    tag of each one to enter into a excel workbook to track its location and
    type. Well got to go make out my want list.

    25 total mavericks and comets found

    The only problem the yard owner is an a$$. Won't give you a price unless
    he goes out to look at the part you want. will not allow you to remove anything
    unless you agree with his price. I did get a few things but i did GPS all the cars
    and got all the info that i could off each one. attached is my work sheet.

    Nope, haven't been able to get into it yet. I have been twice and the gates
    were locked. I called last weekend and they were closed too. they only open
    on saturday from 9 to 1, which sucks. The owner operates a wrecker service and doesn't want to loose business so either him or his brother in law opens
    up the yard only during that time. since he had surgery the other week I dont
    know when he will open it back up. I am tring to get permission to go there
    during the week to survey that yard like i did the other one. Pictures and gps data and VIN / plate data so I can return on a saturday and pull parts.
    it is always something.
    Robert
