Scrap metal is going so high that I make more selling Spitfire parts to scrapyards than bothering with e-bay and the like. i ve got about 25 LBC s going crushers coming, members of my club no money and jeweling me down .
I can't blame you. At the same time, the high price of scrap is going to strangle the supply of salvage parts for restoration and the like <<<<< exactly every beer hound has an ad in the paper for junk cars :(
The big part will be driving a truck with a blown brake line to the scrap yard.
Go down to the scrap yard and wait around till the guy with an old rickety truck pulls in hauling a car he will probably do it for $35 bux save you the grief incase something goes wrong follow him then scrap it .
I have about 100 cars going and just gonna keep the good stuff ahhhhhh its all good stuff :( MYFUNDSARELOW

Wow, I hadn't heard of the $1000 thing in CA. That means some of the best condition cars in the country are going to get crushed for a quick buck, all thanks to tax-payer dollars. AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I think I'm going to throw up.

The radio here is advertising $210/ton for cars. It's sad. When I scrapped the MR2 carcus in '01, I got about eight dollars for it, and they biatched that they gave me 5 too much. I really just wanted it out of my shop.
Oh well. The Chinese are going to stop wanting our scrap when we stop buying their steel because we are giving all our money to the Arabs. It will all stop then.
