Pete M Posted September 8, 2019 Author Posted September 8, 2019 Went on a cool side trip with Katie and Scott yesterday. Nothing crazy, just a leisurely drive up through Phantom Canyon.
Pete M Posted September 10, 2019 Author Posted September 10, 2019 went to 3 junkyards today but didn't find anything I needed. but I hung out with Jdog and a bunch of old car guys today. super fun conversations! tomorrow I'm going to hit the last 2 'yards in Denver and then Jdog and I are meeting up with the guys to hit up a car museum. The hafaJeep is pretty full at the moment. I've got a bunch of Jim's old Jeep stuff which I will be selling on consignment for Katie.

Looks like you’re gonna need to buy more beds and just start filling and stacking them.
Pete M Posted September 10, 2019 Author Posted September 10, 2019 If I find an affordable rust free bed, you just might see a stack forming.
87Warrior Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Stacking is the best way to transport a rust free bed!
Pete M Posted September 11, 2019 Author Posted September 11, 2019 went to a couple more junkyards this morning. picked up a full cluster, headlight rings and some other random bits. but then I spent the afternoon in a sweet vehicular museum with Jason and the guys. be prepared for a massive photo barrage once I get some wifi. tonight I'm at a nice colorado rest area just north of another yard that promises to have some older cars in it. looking forward to it.
Manche757 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Peripatetic Pete, are you seeing any (many) MJs rolling up and down the road? If you run across any chrome covers for manual door handles in good condition, collect then all. Two sets for me if you can manage. Thanks!
Pete M Posted September 11, 2019 Author Posted September 11, 2019 I'm not sure what you mean by a chrome cover.? I've seen precisely two Comanches I did not drive out here to see. one was parked on a sidestreet, the other was visiting one of the junkyards but I couldn't find the owner so I left a club card behind.
Pete M Posted September 11, 2019 Author Posted September 11, 2019 oh wait, plus the MJ at the storage yard that Jason pointed out.
Pete M Posted September 12, 2019 Author Posted September 12, 2019 yesterday I said goodbye to colorado with a stop by Martin's salvage. be prepared for another photo dump from that place. I've never seen so many 40s and 50s cars in one place! scored some cool crap including a pair of old frenched caddy taillights. and then nebraska was a complete failure. both yards had crap and were overpriced. but that let's me get to Dzimm a day early so there's that going for me. :)
mjben Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 Dammit Pete. Your map had you missing Martin's/Fort Collins area. I would have loved to have been able to take you for dinner and a beer...
jdog Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 Dammit Pete. Your map had you missing Martin's/Fort Collins area. I would have loved to have been able to take you for dinner and a beer... He wasn't planning on going to Martin's, I suggested it since he was headed to I76. Thanks for stopping by Pete. Stock 1988 swb 4.0 ax15 np 231.
Pete M Posted September 13, 2019 Author Posted September 13, 2019 It was a last minute thing. we can try to meet up on the next trip. very glad I went to martin's though. it was awesome. more in the morning once I have a mouse and table to work at.
rokinn Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 Pete, sorry I missed you. I expect we were Jeeps passing in the night (day actually) on I25 on Sunday. Maybe next time! Hope the trip is going well. Is that Martin's or Martain's on highway 34 between Loveland and Greeley? Can't seem to find it on google. I see a yard on that highway but not sure if that is the one. I'd love to check it out sometime just for grins. Hope your trip is going well is enjoyable.
