Re: Intake Manifold Cover Plate Pricing Reply #16 – July 19, 2005, 11:10:03 AM I feel bad for you guys...it's definitely a case of age discrimination. When I was 17-25, most of the yards around here would give me the serious runaround when asking for anything, even something simple. It's like, they didn't want to waste their "valuable" time on you. Once I expressed interest in buying complete interiors, or high dollar items like seats or rear ends, they changed their tune. Basically, you get a foot in the door, and then you're cool but until then they assume you're a young punk up to no good. I hated it then, hate it even more now. Funny thing, though...once you age a bit, you get more respect from yards and they let you have the run of the place. I've learned if a yard gives you a bad vibe, don't go back. Or, jump the fence after hours. :) Quote Selected

I have before, that is how I learned that my trench coar is only barbed wire resistant. I also learned better what resistant means. Quote Selected

Re: Intake Manifold Cover Plate Pricing Reply #19 – July 19, 2005, 01:38:21 PM just to what me and shawn do, go there with a socket set, and after paying the $1 entrance fee, whatever fits in your pockets goes home with you for $1 Ive got a section of molding for my quarter panel, misc fuses, speaker grills for the doors. and a 5.0 HO plate that shawn got and gave to me, and I still havnt tried to fix it up yet since I want to buy a trickflow upper/lower.

Re: Intake Manifold Cover Plate Pricing Reply #20 – July 19, 2005, 04:30:11 PM I must be spoiled by the yard by me. They let ya in for 2 bucks and you can stay and wonder around for as long as ya want. They don't make you buy a throttle body just to get a egr valve for example. And they are dirt cheap. I got the driver's side door molding for my Bird (Original one just fell off for no good reason) for get this $4! One thing I have noticed is that 5.0 mustangs don't seem to find their way to the wreaking yards too often. I'de suggest looking for a Mark VII for a HO cover plate. And don't bother to pay for it just pocket it. Quote Selected

This is true. One time Eric and I went to a junkyard that I usually frequent. They charged him probably 1/2 what they would've charged me for the very same parts. Not to mention they didn't hassle him nor treat him as if it was a big inconvenience. Quote Selected

Re: Intake Manifold Cover Plate Pricing Reply #27 – July 24, 2005, 04:18:48 PM sorry to take so long but here is a picture of the intake cover Quote Selected
Re: Intake Manifold Cover Plate Pricing Reply #28 – July 24, 2005, 04:21:26 PM not the best finish but it doesn't seemed to be chipped. It could be stripped and painted whatever color you want it. I think it is a different color blue from your car though Quote Selected
