Auto Rebuild - Salvage Yards?

HazMatt · 03-21-2006, 12:45 PM

So my uncle in Illinois has purchased a 35 Chevy Coupe to rebuild and he needs doors for it. He was told by some folks there that salvage yards in the PNW are great for these types of things.

I don't have the slightest idea on where to start for this other than send him a copy of the yellow pages...
He has searched the internet and came up empty. He has since contacted me...

Anyone on here hotrod/classic/antique car buffs that could point a person completely unknowing in a general direction?

Thanks,
Matt

All american classics in vancouver, talk to Greg. If he does not have it he most likely can give you a lead on where to find the items you are looking for. Good luck.

Swap meet is always first weekend in April . Good place to find or leads on early american steel .

You may also be able to find internet forums for Chevy's. I found one for Mustangs, and have gotten a few more leads on catalog places from it. Good luck!

I had a buddy in high school that had a 67 Mustang - SWEET RIDE! Good luck getting it restored.

Man the 67 mustang.....

I also had a buddy with one of those in high school. What a chick magnet for two 16 year olds

67 mustangs are SWEET!

They would be my first stop locally.
Then there used to be a vintage tin yard just outside of Yakima Washington, the name of it slips my mind at the momment ( it's not alizimer's it's just sometimer's)
Or try Wescott's out in Boring Oregon. They make and sell fiberglass and metal reproduction parts for old Chevy's

I'm kind of a computer geek as I work on one all day long, so it only took a few minutes of delaying the inevitable work day to get that, hopefully it will help! I know what it's like trying to find certain pieces, so every little bit of info helps!

And if you ever see me on the side of a road kicking my Mustang.... Just let me be, man, just let me be.
