It seems that these days every one is opening a scrap yard. Well one has been slowly getting bigger here in Bowtie land Unfortunately we got a visit from the local authorites and were instructed to put up a fence to hide the mess of a junkyard.

SO we are quickly building a fence to hide all those wonderful pieces of junk.

I was reminded of something from long ago...

Yellow Taxi, down in Norfolk, Virginia-where I was stationed- had a tag line attached to its listing in the uh...yellow pages. The Thinking Fellow Calls Yellow.

Might work for you, you know.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
Judging from the gate/entrance area, this looks more like a GRAVEyard than a junkyard. I was expecting "Lurch" to be greeting at the entrance! :lol:
"Marigold Manor?"

Poor old school muscle. . . . do love the wreck damage on the '70 chevelle, that must have been one wicked hit to the trunk.

Great mini-dio James. :thumbup:

Ah! So now I see why that '40 Ford slope back sedan is "For Sale" at the gate...it isn't yellow and doesn't belong here!
James, don't forget to add a dog somewhere. A BIG dog. And a TOW truck, An old DIRTY tow truck...standing by for that next yellow car retreival.

I was debating that, but I think they belong better here in the Junkyard. That's what this section was intended for! ;) Beaters, PIPs, and junkyards!

And you wrecked the Aussie Falcon! :faint: Fence completes the look and makes for a perfect scrapyard! Nice work! :thumbup:

Lucky you- a bunch of us are still looking for this one. I'm not sure if scalpers or hoarders are getting them or if they're just not shipping many at the moment.

Sweet yellow jy you have set up James.

I say I say, how in the tarnation did a Canadian yard get a hold of an Australian muscle car?!? Add me to the list for a stock version of that Ford James. ;)

The brown painted fence is a cool addition that adds to the realism factor you got going you bowtie praising, yellow car smashing, Ford driving Canuck!
