    suffering maybe?

    Either way it was the primary reason he shut down the operation. Had a whole section on his website about it and everything.

    I'll check out John's if I can get down there. Trying to find Amarilllo-Lubbock-Oklahoma yards since I'm way up near the Texas panhandle now.

    There's a place in Aline, OK called Bud's Salvage, they've got Torinos and lots of older cars, and I would love to get out there this spring. Working on the logistics of it for maybe April, the week after my wife attends a VA conference in Memphis.

    This is that yard in North Texas I mentioned. It's a long haul from me. Been there twice, but MAN they have some neat stuff!

    Yeah up by Denton, $5 to enter the yard last time I checked, prices are sky-high, and their Torinos are in worse shape than mine. But it's been a few years so maybe they have some better ones. I'm more or less looking for a set of dark blue Mark V seats at this point, and I think the further north I go for that, the better. Hoping to get a chance to take a junkyarding road trip this summer and head up to NE or KS or SD or something where the bodies and frames rust away but the interiors are still serviceable.

    There was a really good classic yard in Tulsa Oklahoma a few years back. Can't remember the name. Might Google it.
