About Pick Your Part - Charlotte
Sunday counts as a regular day here, with the gate open 9 to 4:30 every day of the week. Admission costs $3 after you sign a release. Bring your own tools, but leave jacks at home since every car sits pre-supported, and the yard bars cutting torches, grinders, generators and gas-powered gear. Wheelbarrows and engine hoists come free, and parts carry an optional 90-day guarantee. Nobody under 16 gets in.
