    Wow! I seem to have it made where I am. I am paying 100 $ cash for every junk car. This girl takes off the Cat. the radiator, the wheels, rims, battery, alternator, starter. I get 190 per ton auto. usually toss in some extra junk to get a better price. save the rims till i have a good pile of alum and steel rims, then take them in. same with the converters and elec motors. Unlesss i am short on cash...lol then i just go through the big scale and walk my small stuff over. My usual scrap yard pays me $5 more than other customers who don't come in as often, and I usually get my check before them too. Maybe its because I am there a lot, bring the well behaved kids in everytime...or simply because I am polite..I don't know, I just chill and it works for me. There is a little work in the radiators of everything. I cut all the copper off and sell that separate also. Lot of work, can be good pay. Fortunatly I dont have to remove any liquids at the scrap yard i go to. So super added bonus!

    59 chevy flat bed

    I actually have a chance to pick up a chevy flat bed from 1959 I am thinking about offering $150 as the seller is asking $250 and has been told he can get $390.

    Car is WAY far though...I mean I can do the trip but it might cost half a tank of gas or more considering weight and mileage. Probably gonna just offer $100 otherwise now worth it unless he is telling the truth. Gonna call around tomorrow and see.
