Default F body salvage yard in Michigan?

Are there any good salvage yards here in Michigan?? Getting tired of fleabay and thrugh the roof shipping charges. I see Camaros and Firebirds getting a salt bath every day lateley so seems like they would be dropping like flies...

Don't know how far Cleveland, OH is from you guys but there is one called Cleveland Pick A Part. They deal with a lot of TAs, Camaros, GTOs, Vettes and a few others

Here is a link

OK listen to this. I call another junkyard thats in straight up hicksville, I try to stay away from this yard because when I was running big trucks they thought four wheel drive parts were worth about 3 times what they were worth anywhere else. That said I call them and ask for a right rear quarter for a Firebird and the guy says "what year" I told him anything 93 to 02, he says "we have a 93 but the book says 94 to 02 will fit. Is it a convertable or hardtop" I tell him convertable but I'm only using the bottom part in the door jamb area so either will work. The guy says no it wont work its the earlier body style. I said well what is it a 93 or 82-92 body style? I gave up and said good by...WTF

there a bunch of idiots, I had the same problem you did, they didnt believe me when i said 93-02 Camaros had the same rear 1/4 panels but they let you go back there and look around yourself i just went back

it's called "Cats Auto Salvage", give them a call and see

if you dont have any luck i'll stop by next week when i have class out there
