I don't know how many of you guys are gearheads outside of just the motorcycle world, but for me, going to a Pull-A-Part is like a kid getting to play in a 200 acre Toys-R-Us. I pull parts and pieces all the time from cars that are extinct or rare or whatever and use them in modern applications.
I have a '98 Chevy Metro that I have scavenged parts from at least 12 different cars to keep the interior modern and for nice hold-down bolts under the hood and stuff..
(I know this isn't exactly Steampunk, but it's somewhere in that same line of reasoning...right?)
You remember the show Junkyard Wars? It was always a dream of mine to be on that show.
