    I'd rather eat squirrels personally.
    The dobbers aren't so bad. Its the red wasps and the damnable yellow and orange bastids that I hate.

    I could really use a good Pass side door, and my brother will be headed up that way in a few weeks :D

    That's easy to overcome.....just go on a day when the temp is about 30 degrees, the wasps will be in hiding and the snakes will strike in slow motion:D

    Any of them have a good set of boomarangs? I also need a good set of early model black door panels and arm rests.

    Awesome find! I know of several yards like that in the south western corner of NC, one of them with a damn nice '73 Comet just sitting there. Everytime I go I ask the old guy what he will take for it, every time he asks what I'll give him for it, I ask what's it worth to you? He tells me "I'll thank 'bout it, ask me next time you come". That's happened about 4 times now. :rolleyes:

    Good find on the '69.5. Next time you go back, get the VIN and info off the door tag if you can. I'll add it to my "list". I am about to post a write up on installing the '69.5 ignition switch and wiring it up. Make sure when you get the column, to also get the plastic piece that that bolts on the bottom side of it under the dash, it provides clearance for the ignition switch that the later ones don't have.

    Gotcha.
    The green car I posted on the first page is the 69.5. All the cars had Boomerangs. I looked at a few with some pitting but when I go again I'll check it out.

    Any decent arm rests? I'm looking for an autotrans bellhousing out of a pinto wagon too if there is one.

    Some of those Granadas came with 9" rears that would drop right in our cars. (y) About an inch wider, too so you can stuff more tire in there without it rubbing inboard.

    Wasp stings ... got stung three times getting the sport mirrors for my car... Bastids!
