in east chattanooga, there was a later model bus that looked like it might have some pieces on it, saw a convertable beetle that had been pretty picked though,  it is near glass st and chamberlan ave. i have been friends with the owner's grandson for years, he has a rail and recently pulled a bug out of the yard and got it running

Is this one open to the public or is it more of a dealer/shop only place? Do they let you pull the parts?

no pulling your own parts, it is open to the public, not sure if you would be allowed to walk around or not, maybe if you went with me or you talked to david

I never understood the point of stacking cars... yes, you can fit more cars in, but then you crush the bodies and you can't get parts off of them... so what's the point? might as well get the scrap metal value for them instead?!?!
