What is a pick-n-pull?

Is that like a Sadie Hawkins?

Pick-n-pull is a salvage yard where you pay a dollar to get in, then you can walk through the whole junk yard, take off what ever parts you want and pay for them when you leave. They have a paper like a menu telling you what a motor costs,tranny,radiators, tires, a whole list of about everything on a car. I always go to pick-n-pull when I go to Edmonton, Alberta to visit my daughter. Never did see a snowmobile in there. Brought home a chevy 454, 400 small block chevy, 400 pontiac bunch of other parts that I thought I needed. Lots of old cars still up in Canada. I did buy a Spitfire up there, completely dismantled it, took the back seat out of the car and slid the frame in the trunk up to the front seat, pilled everything else in there and closed the trunk lid. Fit like a glove. The Guard at the border crossing couldn't believe it.

Jimmy;

That is too funny! Kind of reminds me of the time I fit a 4 x 4 x 1/4" sheet of plywood INSIDE a VW Fox! To say the looks on the faces of the people watching me was worth the price of admission is understating things. I rolled it into a tube to fit it in. Looked funnier that hell driving through town with it.
