    Just finished up a behind the scene's tour last week with Steve. Super humble guy. The passion he has for cars/trucks or anything with a motor. He truly means it when he says' he'll show ya around. This stuff won't be here forever! The younger generation doesn't give much of a damn for stuff like this anymore. If you've got something like this near you.. Appreciate it! Before it all disappears..

    I love those old cars, as a car collector I can appreciate the rarity of all the cars showed. That yard is a great find, I would love to see it for myself. The stainless visor is a rare find it it’s own.
    Good job on the find.

      Watch Richard Rawlings on Joe Rogan Experience podcast on youtube. You might feel a little differently about him after you see the real Richard. I know I did, and definitely have more respect for him. I've heard more than once of how much he actually is decent to his fans in person.

    Love your show. I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s. My old man was a steelworker, and raced a 57 Chev. Hard nose type guy. Sounds like your Dad. I can relate to a lot of your memories and thinking. I don’t build exactly what you do but I got more into the muscle cars. However, I love the shit you build and would own one in a heartbeat, but I have too many cars now. I just found the you tube stuff you do and am a follower for life. When I lived in Vegas I never got around to see all that old stuff out in the desert. Maybe you ought to start a tour guide service and shuttle people around to those hot spots of yours.

    I love the way you show how someone’s “junk” is really a treasure. I went on a trip as a kid, with my brother and dad. No motor home, in an 86 Buick Skylark. Got to the site, muffler fell off and my brother and I thought it sounded super cool, but my dad was pissed lol. My dad bought a “6 pack” of Rainer 40’s. it was how he got around to telling my mom how he only drank 6 beer lmao. Best trip of my life, most memories I have of being together with my brother and dad. Thanks for this video 😁

    You guys are so lucky to have such good steel just sitting around out there. Up here in the Northeast pretty much anything sitting around is completely rotted and destroyed. Every project we do is usually a car that we purchased from the Midwest somewhere, head out drag it out of a field and bring it back home. Hearts is another issue LOL sometimes we have to completely rebuild everything, sometimes we get lucky and find a part but we make do with what we have out here.

    Love your road trip stories as a kid. My father took us from Mexico City to the Panama canal in a pickup camper smaller than that. It was my parents, my two brothers and I. I have fond memories of it but I also remember being horribly hot. I remember once being run out of town because we had plugged or air conditioner in and blown the electricity at the only grocery store in a small town. We lived in that tiny camper for months. Now I have to say this happened back in 1970 or 1971 so we're not talking super highways here. Backroads and rainforest. I remember my father pulling over somewhere in the Yucatan to talk to a local "chiclero" (someone who goes into the jungle looking for chicle trees to harvest the sap and sell it to the gum factories.) After that conversation we found ourselves hiking through the jungle to a Mayan city where no white Man had ever set foot. Great memories! My father had no fear and a great sense of adventure. Thanks for the memories

    I love going to the wrecking yard. Whenever my dad would need to go to one when I was a kid, I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to go with him. I love old cars too. If I had the opportunity to go to a yard like that I don't believe I could get through it in one day. In fact, I'd probably want to just camp out there so I could continue looking at all the history the following day.
    Which brings me to my newest great idea( eye of the beholder)...
    I'm sure I'm not the only one that would enjoy a camping trip at the old car wrecking yard. The owners should think about making that place into a wrecking yard/ Campground. I'm pretty sure it would be the first one in the world and it would give them an additional source of income using what they already have! And all I charge for my ideas is one weekend free pass to walk the yard( I Can Dream can't I?)
    Anyway, awesome yard, great stories, and all around great video.

    When I was only 9 years old my dad was in the army and we are from Texas, he was sent to be stationed in fort Irwin CA.
    We where on our way back to Texas, and think about this this was in 1959. Well it was night and my mom was driving and my dad and sister where in the back sleeping. I was riding up front with my mom, I kept see a sign and it said little barrel 1 mile. This continues for about 20 miles and I said to my mom where's this town little barrel.
    Well my mom breaks out laughing son see the barrel on the side of the road well that's your little barrel and it litter barrel not little barrel.
    Mom and dad had a good laugh about it told my grandfather and the rest of the family they all though it was funny.

    I was a teenager in the 70's and the kids now don't know what they missed. The freedom and fun was off the charts. Every day was an adventure. I would spend my summers at my grampa's gas station and small farm in the middle of nowhere. In the back was a grave yard of old wrecked cars; what a gas playing around in them. To this day I love the smell of gas and oil. I guess I have oil flowing in my veins. And am PROUD of it.

    As kids, before we had BB guns, I used to make giant slingshots out of broom sticks and bicycle inner tubes. Nail a tube onto the end of the broomstick and stick it into the ground. We called them cannons. Then we would shoot marbles into a junk yard about a block away. Fast forward about 10 years. I bought a '57 Chevy 2-door body out of that same junkyard to build a BBC street car. It had broken windows and dents all over it. Got a few of the marbles back that we cannoned into that '57 Chevy as kids......

Railroad tracks behind our house were part of the Pennsylvania RR of sidings that delivery to small towns in Maryland was done on so shooting next to her to scare her was my intention. I didn't count on the ricochet! She still tells me decades now that it still hurts & it's on my x-ray! My reply is that the next shot was almost what that fellow said about it moving his hair, but it struck the left lens of my glass glasses in a kid's metal vault somewhere to remind me that what the old folks said was true, "One day you are going to put your eye out with that thing!

    Long story short, in 87 we go for a road trip this old car does a diff, a distributor, alternator, but the beauty about these old cars is on the road people had them laying around in yards, we just had to knock and ask. No only do you get your car fixed but you get to meet good people.

I started high school in '76.but before I was old enough to drive that cool '52 chevy deluxe it was sold.my heart was sad for a while.then by the time I was old enough to drive on my own in'78 I found and bought a '64 impala two door hard top 327.it would be cool if you could take tours to that salvage yard and leave it as it is and preserve it for a longer period of time.I always thought one could line up those awesome cars in front of a big screen and make a walk in vintage drive-inn theater with the old cars already in place; you pick the car you want to sit in and watch old movies in them.with popcorn,soda and pizza like they did in the '50s,60s,and 70s.now that would be a cool experience with my grand kids now in 2019.

    My Uncle was cruising in his 1978 F150, another guy was doing a water burnout then my Uncle gets on the trans-brake revs his truck so loud everyone on the island could hear it. Then as we are heading back to the hotel, the guy who was doing a burnout was driving past us and gave my uncle dirty looks

    This is such a rarity to me as I'm from London so A, Europe generally doesn't have many cool cars and B, the weather is quite dissimilar to what you have there! (lucky sod!)
    I do remember years ago though there used to be an American car scrapyard near the notorious Blackwall Tunnel and a mate took me there as he was looking for some bits for his 80's Chevy Caprice (I think) and it was so crappy it only had a 6 cylinder engine but by European standards it was still massive. It was quite the oddest feeling walking around this yard looking at all the cars, the optimism in their potential but then the melancholic realisation that very few if any would ever see the road again.
    They ended up clearing that entire yard and most of that small peninsula above the tunnel so they could build the 'Millenium Dome' which was later sold and renamed the O2 Arena.
    I've been incredibly lucky (and broke!) having owned some pretty iconic cars and motorbikes over the years and one of my favourites was a 1980 Ford Thunderbird, not much I know by Americans standards but to an Englishman it was amazing as it was both a left hooker and my first V8 which again is quite a rarity in England. IIRC it had a 260 cube motor and the body was black with a white vinyl roof and a deep burgundy interior. I actually traded my old Austin Mini towards buying this car and the wife went with me when I picked it up and it was quite funny considering we drive on the other side of the road here, so we pull up in a tiny right hand drive shoebox and drive home in a relatively huge left hooker.
    One of the many great vehicles I've owned and like the trip to the junk yard, my memories to me are priceless.
    Cheers for another great video and good luck!

      Enjoyed your comment. That 1980 Thunderbird was a nice luxury car, sounds like it was top of the line. At 10 years old I started riding my bike to the nearest junk yard where I spent my days dreaming of the car I would build out of junk one day and here I am today. There is nothing that makes me happier than a good junk yard. Thanks for watching and sharing your memories.

    Man if only I was still in a workshop of my own instead of a full time carer for my mum I would put my hand up for one so I could sell one in Australia.

      Reminds me of Gray hound going through the Arkansas mountains, heard a guy after he went in yell "oh f**k" after landing elbow first in the sink because the road ahead was blocked off right around a hair pin turn out of hind sight going 60mph. Driver swerve and locked breaks, guy in bathroom bounced from wall to sink.

    We went to Okefenokee swamp in Georgia with the Boy Scouts. My father and five of us scouts were in a boat when my father, who was quite a jokester, decided he was going to catch a alligator. So we pulled up along side this 4 foot gator, we were feeding it marshmallows when my dad grabbed the gator by the tail and directed this scout piloting the boat to pull up to the shore. The boy gunned the throttle on the engine, the boat crashed into the shore, five boy scouts and my dad fell out of the boat and the gator washed into the boat. We were extremely lucky. We couldn't get the gator out of the boat, there were no cell phones in 1974 so we sat on shore for 3 hours until a game warden came riding by. My dad got in trouble, we could not use the boats anymore that weekend but we had one hell of a tell from that day.

    When I lived in Oklahoma there was a field loaded with old Cadillac’s, Lincoln’s, hemis, herses . the guy would put all the rare cars he got from repos, deaths, ect. He would buy them and store them... about 1,000 cars. He never sold anything... then he died... his wife got a crusher and they were all turned into scrap.... these were rare and solid cars, and were in amazing condition, desoto, Hudson’s , willys, on and in it went , I use to play there a lot but never broke anything. Truth is.... these will likely be all crushed as I’ve heard of this happening a lot . We stop and speak with a lot of people on our journeys ... this story about crushing these cars is a common theme. And it pains me to hear. Thanks again
