    That is about 45 minutes from me, so I just might head down there this weekend. Have driven by it a hundred times and never stopped. I need a new radiator support, pretty sure he must have one I can use. Thanks for the info.

    So that's where they all are! Could be a lot of money sitting there. I was at a swap meet last weekend. There was a rust free '72 Grabber hood there. They wanted $475 for it!

    So I finally went by this junkyard last weekend and asked him to see the mavericks, and he tells me he only has one left cause he scrapped them all about 2 weeks ago. It made me sick. I went in and looked and sure enough he only has one maverick left and two pintos. I am going back in the next week of two to get the radiator support. I couldn't believe he scrapped em out, but he said he got about $230 each in scrap metal since prices have gone up. I was pretty bummed, but what can ya do.
