Talk to one of the salvage yards down Business 287, just outside of Kennedale... right off I20

Elliott Reeder Road in Haltom City. East off of of Haltom Road, a little South of Airport Freeway. But don't say you just want to take pix. Some yards will want to charge you to do that.. Conjure up a car part you are wanting to find.

There is a "classic car" salvage right next to the race track just north of Denton.

Here is a few of them. You could probably get up on the forklift and shoot a wide angle shot of the yard for them in exchange for getting to do the shots you want.

Why not just pay their fee?

Pick and Pull won't let kids in. Other than that I haven't had any problems with taking my 6 year old in. Just tell em what you are wanting to do and they will either say yes or no. If they say no, offer 10 bucks.
