What up with Al's on 10East
« on: September 20, 2011 4:01 am »
Found this place on my sunday drive trying to get a sense of the area.  Junkyard or upull it full of 87 astro vans??

Curious as our time of sun and green grass turns to white fluffy stuff.

not too freindly of a guy and I think it was Bobby that told me he is buying his own crusher soon. He does have some cool stuff in there. Dallas and I went there many years ago for kustom parts for the Packard.

I have been in there a couple of times. Luckily I was with someone he knew. Real hard to navigate thru the yard and lots of stuff is picked over. Jim Pauls is way better

Lots of neat stuff in there. I pulled a '39 deluxe coupe out of there in '04. It had been sitting in the same spot since '62(and it showed). It was three cars off the main road that Randy(owner, son of Al) that he drivers down every day, and he didn't know it was there, if that gives you any idea of the overgrowth/lack of organization. I took my brother there to look at 2 '62 ford convertibles that are right on the main road, we went mid-july at the height of the green season. We were within 5 feet of them and walked right by because we couldn't see them. Randy is a good guy, and is pretty easy to deal with once you get some $$$ going his way(not always easy to do either) and not just there to break stuff/steal/ waste time.

Kinda fun to keep driving by often, it seems like he continues to go back and pull out random cars to stick out front for awhile, like a "showcase of the month" or something.

well, i have got to try and get in there.  If randy is the guy to deal with i will give them a call and ask for him.   I have been a to a place like this in PA and you only get one chance.  So, when I get a day free soon, I will make it out there.
