    ok some of you may remember that guy bills that was selling parts on here a while back. the one with all of the new old stock parts. the same guy that I got my comet gt and curb hoppers grabber from.

    well after buying the cars weve bought a few parts and manged to keep in touch on how things are selling for him. well after some time he finally got tired of dealing with selling parts. we spoke a couple weeks ago and he told me to come this weekend to go get EVERYTHING he had left :dance:

    heres where the mother load comes in I came home with another truck load of parts! this is after my last parts run to his place where I came home with my truck stacked with parts from his parts cars. :thumbs2:

    heres a few pics of what I brought home and whats left of his parts cars after a bunch of vultures including me picked them over

    Bill and his wife are good people. Had a chance to visit him at his place and buy the much needed stuff to get my Maverick back together. Congrats on getting all the stuff. I saw something in one of those pictures I might be able to use. I'll send you a PM.
