Thank everyone for the help! Although I have now annoyed the last used =
parts yard in the area by returning everything they pulled off for me. =
It was the guy's fault, he pulled the stuff from the wrong car. When I =
went to return everything he said it wasn't worth his time to remove =
the parts I needed off of another car so I'm back to nothing. Both junk =
yards have been A-- holes. I may try a few places in Atlanta but its a =
good drive for me so it will be a while. Ill keep everyone posted and =
take pictures, maybe even post a website about it. Until then I'm =
wanting to beef up the rear suspension. What is the best way to get =
better traction from a hard launch and still have good handling? I'm =
thinking about a heavy rear sway bar, Koni shocks and the Shelby style " =
Traction Master" bar that bolts to the bottom of the spring and welds to =
the frame. Anyone have better ideas?=20

John, Thank you for the help. I may catch you at the Charlotte Saac =
thing. Let me know how I can find you.

Chris, you mention Atlanta being a bit of a drive for you.
Where are you located?

I'm in Augusta GA. Is about a 1 1/2 to 2 hour drive for me but worth it if I
can get the parts I need.

That is where I am. I missed the beginning of this thread, what were you
looking for at the Junk Yard? I usually go to the U-Pull-it places. CPC
has a Junk Yard off Gordon Highway and another in N.A.
