    i havnt had any of those yet. but hopefully soon.



    Well when i first started scrapping, id go around town collecting a bunch of tin and load it on my 15 ft trailer. I usually guess what im going to make before i bring it in, and i thought it was going to be $70. I get there and ended up with $250. I think thats the happiest ive ever been lol. Now i can usually guess and get it +- $20 off. takes the fun out of it really
