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..

Not looking to start any wars here but "you're so humble and way less arrogant than Rawlings " , sweet yard , wicked treasures

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 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.

Talk about a honey hole probably the best junkyard ever

One of my favorite memories as a young teenager was hanging out, looking at old cars in a junkyard owned by a buddies dad! If we found something we liked, we worked for it by pulling engines, wrenching or what ever he needed done to pull off the swap!

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. absolutely beautiful, thank you for taking us along

To tour old yards like this would be a great day. Brings back many fond memories of me and my dad. Thanks

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 😁

It would be a blast seeing that stuff in person!!! I'm an old car nut, love em all. 70s stuff and back! I'd be like the kid, tell the wife they followed me home!!!

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. Subscribed!

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

That aint no junk yard, It's a big yard with lots of art.

My father owned a Dodge motor home, we been on many trips with it. The motoer home was way better than the Chevy van going on trip. My Pop's would park along the beach of Mexico best memories.

My husband helped run a junk yard back in the late 60's and I loved to walk around and see what I could find. I would love to look at those beauties again

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.

Hay Steve not sure if you would remember me, I use to work for Paul at RMS. That yard is across the freeway from my parents place. There is some cool stuff there.

Love all the vintage cars. That's when cars had curves even a woman could appreciate... Sad can't find that any more.

Thanks for taking us along

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......

If they ever have an award for KOOLEST DUDE, U R THE ONLY WINNER!!!!FOR REAL ,AMEN TO AMERICA!!!!

Its my understanding that the reason for the car into truck transformations was because pickups were given more fuel rations than cars were during the war

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.

Love the video,I used to go junkyard hopping in the mid '70s in and around Tampa town Fl. With my dad. We were searching for parts to tinker on a 1952 chevy 2 door deluxe. 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. You could have the speakers wired in the dashes and hanging on the doors like old times. Thanks for making the video and sharing memories with you and your Dad.☆☆☆☆☆

In the 40’s during the war trucks were able to get rashioned fuel during the war because of farms and cars were refused gas. So many converted cars to trucks for fuel. Learned that from a farmer.

I would absolutely love to see a old yard like that there is nothing like this in the UK. So cool 😎

OMG!!! Don't let them get scrapped! So many people would love to bring those cars back and its hard to find bodies like that to start with. Come on Welderup, start restoring those cars and selling them, make videos of the restorations and put it on tv. Forget the added drama, it should be about the techniques and the build, like an educational show like Full Custom Garage, that would be awesome!

So glad you've gone to KZfaq, beats commercial TV. Talk about Road trips, in Australia back in the 50s and 60s we had General motors holden, like you have General motors, in 67 my dad bought a panel van, to my surprise it had a radio and a heater. 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. Got to get over and see your side.

I love old yards like this i could just walk around for hours. I'd love to see this one!

My parents had a motor home like that back in the 80s. We drove from nor cal to Michigan. 4 kids and 5 adults for about 2 weeks.

I too shot up a 57 Chevy 4 door hard top. It had the extended rear bumper with the spare tire. Love looking at the old stuff.

Your story reminded me, me and a mate were taken up to Scotland in 1983 by his dad. We went in an old Bedford CF. we went up as far as Aviemore, via Kingussie and St Andrews, we were meant to get as far as Dawnoch. It was a really fun trip, we had so much fun! My mate's dad died the following year! Very sad, but we will always remember that trip!

I would love to find a auto salvage yard full of 20's to mid 60's rigs like that!!!!!

I love it 😍👌 when I was 13 I was on my grandparents farm in upper Michigan and I was shooting my dad's. 30.30 at one of my dad's 1936 Chevy by the time I got older there must of been a hundred holes in it.

I remember going to old salvage yards as a child with my dad. This video reminds me of so many fond memories. You don't see them like this any more! Great Job!

I could spend a month in there perhaps a year! I'd make the little Dodge open road motorhome into base camp get to know everything about every single one of the vehicles in the yard! Awesome find! Thank you for sharing!

Hotrod Dave here,my whole family is into vintage tin,SOOOO,I used to shoot anything else but cars or trucks.

Love all that all rusty iron, I love walking around salvage yards and don’t get to do it often enough. Never been in one like that though.

My father and I would walk around for hours looking through old cars. Not many words, just hours spent together.

Yeah, my Dad was in the Air Force. We lived in Germany from 72' thru 76' . every summer we would load up in the Cadillac and go somewhere like france, Italy, Spain. One year while going thru Italy, we were rear ended. We got a small scratch, the other car was totaled. The guy couldn't stop apologizing. It was funny to watch....

Last time I shot a car a ricochet whizzed past my head.I felt the wind and heard the tumble. And it moved my hair. That was the last time...

I bet there's alot of gems hiding away in that scrap yard. It's such a shame to see them all slowly rotting away.

Kick Ass !!! Would love to see all that history. I could spend a whole the day looking at all that history and seeing how people did any mods back then. GREAT VIDEO !

Wow what a treasure trove. Australian hot roders and original only restores would love to get a hold of any of those pieces of history. 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. Just a pipe dream to get back on top again😉🙂👍👍

Cool junkyard wish I was out there. Love the old 30's 40's 50's cars

That’s a dying passion wish more Guys were like this

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!

I want a 1931 Ford truck. Man your builds are awesome. Thanks for show all the awesome cars. Not many junkyards with old cars in them anymore

Hard to beat an afternoon in these old salvage yards.

I will definitely love to come out there and look at all the old cars with you

Shit is rear to see all the stuff people we'd kill for is still surviving Time good to see the cool stuff . You the man . Welder Up Real Deal . True Story 👍

Hey Steve! What a cool video ... some of my fondest memories are of me and my dad picking through junkyards! I'll never forget putting together 2 project trucks one trip: 2 of my friends, my dad and I. basically built 2 trucks in the junkyard to bring back with us. My dad and i put together a 1968 Dodge D100 (Mainly a parts truck) ... my buddys put together a C10 ... short frame off one truck .. .cab off another ... rear end outa some other wreck. We worked our asses off that day .. so much fun!! Thanks for the Video! Luke

That sucks that he wouldn’t sell any of it It would be cool to see some of the stuff resurrected

Love going back in time! Very cool old car yard... love the humor too🦒💩

Love old yards like that...field of memories..thanks for sharing 👍

Wish I could just walk through and gather up parts to build a 30’s 40’s Dodge or Plymouth 4x4 with 38 inch tires an a 16 inch lift… thanks Steve fo showing this video… it’s hard to find stuff like that here, sure is nice to see all that treasures, kinda brings back memories, Anyways Steve looking forward to seeing more videos Aloha from Kona…. Hawaiian 🌺 🍺🍺🍹😎🤙🌋🏝🌴

Rare old junk yard! Take any home for new projects? Gets me to relive exploring different sites that had old clunkers...!

I would love to come see it. Maybe buy a couple of cars or parts.

There's still lots of those old junkyards in Southern Arizona. They are an interesting place to visit.

Cool weather and junkyards are my little getaway for me...

I'd love to have a tour of so old scrap yards. That one for sure.

I myself would like to go through a yard like that piecing together cars in rough parts packs to be finished by customers

Family camping in 1963-4 Corvair Greenbrier. Great Smokey mts. I was 13 me and brother sleeping in the van a bear came through the campsite rocked the van scared shit out of us. Left paw print on the windshield. Didn’t wash it for the longest time. Will never forget that Greenbrier.

I've always loved the scrap yards, spent lots of time wandering around looking at the cool old iron in my younger years. That looks like a real gem of a yard, damn near worthy of a road trip.

Junk yards are my fav theres just something about them that cant be replaced by anything

I would love to see that place I love old cars

Went through one of the driver through Safari things with family. We piled in grandparents Delta 88 1979 vintage. They had baboons. 2 jumped on the hood, and stop dad was making faces at them. One made faces back.... The other one crapped one the hood, then smeared it on windshield while staring at step dad the whole time, then flipped him off and jumped off, laughing. Granny was not amused, but all 4 grandkids were rolling 😁

That military power wagon would be a killer build.

I would love to tour through the yard sometime looking for 1939 Ford sedan parts!

I'd love to come see that little collection he's got but I'm in kansas lol

Every one of those cars I could envision in my garage. Thanks for your time and the video!!

Ok I worked for a gentleman 40 years ago, I ran moonshine for him he had a 50 model Chevy Deluxe 2 doored . The car had 21 bullet holes on the passenger side of the car the ATF in the late 50s shot at him never penetrated the metal but it's mine now setting on blocks under our shop .... LOVE the video and your show

This looks very much like Archie Campbells boneyard in Albuquerque.

My son was trying to piss going down the road in our MH . Me swerving and hitting breaks. He was so pissed. lol

Thanks for sharing, love seeing old classic cars!!

Wedrup, you guys remind me of myself! Personally lived in Nevada 48 years this month, 57 next week! Been "A" wild one!!! Love ponderosa!

I’m guilty of slinging some lead into a 59 Ford fairlane convertible 🤫

I would like to know if the gentlemen would sell the 55" or 57" chevys I interested in them thank you

excellent storys, love it. Thanks for sharing this nice place. Cheers from France

Always cool to take a leisurely walk through a junkyard full of cars/trucks

Man I would love to build up one of those old sweet cars or trucks or all of them. Haha. I’m only a few hours away. Give me a hint to where it is and if he would sell any of them.

I wish we had yards like that in the UK....

I've got a '36 chevy project and have been thinking about a visor like the one in the junk yard. I can imagine the fun and pleasure as you walk around the grounds admiring all the different designs

Thanks for taking us along we don’t have that old shit in New England it all rots to shit with the salt from winter

I would love to get my hands on those old ford ""N"" series tractors

The predecessor to the El Ranchero was that model t with a bed.

Great video steve. Thankyou for the walk about

There is a lot of cool there. Thanks for sharing.

That owner has a Gold mind sitting there with out a doubt time to start selling .

Ive shot up old cars when I was a kid in the outskirts of Bakersfield California

8:18 Good cup of coffee, one great video! I'm kicking back in my 78 Dodge Apache motorhome 4x4 watching this. Probably could use some parts off that Old sweetie😊

Nothing better than an old scrap/junk yard..... Know a few in Montana and ND...

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

Thanks for not calling it a “Barn Find”

im 19 and i go to school at lincoln tech and i gotta say working in the diesel field is one of the best things i will ever do. i watch a lot of videos on old cars, tractors and just about everything in between. if its rusty and been sitting there for a long time, i love to get my hands on them and try to get the started. and its always been a dream about starting my own car collection. and call me weird but i want the first one to be a 72 Opel GT. i just think they are cool cars, watched a video n one and fell in love with it. Keep up with the videos loved it!!

Just visited vegas for the first time last week. Stopped by your shop, love the amazing work yall do. Was very inspiring, thanks for being you!!!!👌

I want to go out and see this gold mine

Paragonah Utah, right off I-15 exit 271, everyone can see it from the freeway. Bring lots of money.

Hi about the cool turn signals on the military truck, those are blackout lights, still cool in my book. I like the rigs and have had a few of them.

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.
