    Okay not to be critical of anyones business dealings, cause my business is by no means something to brag about and after reading tons of posts by you guys i am small time lol... but i see you have $475-500 going out not including fuel. If you sold the motor and trans for $300 and received $75 for the carcass after the cost of tow.... took 3 days to tear down complete... you have to pay your self for the 12 hours of time... after its all said and done what have u really made? I understand you have other parts to sell, but if it is a common car you could be sitting on those parts along time. Also what car was it to weigh 3500lb gutted ? $50-$75 for labor seems awfull cheap for 12 hours. 6Cents a pound on cars seems good considering other posts are claiming $20-50 a ton on cars. Again not trying to be offensive just curious.
