Here's part of what I picked up Thursday morning. 25+ brake rotors, one tote full of cast aluminum, one tote full of automotive electric motors, another with A/c compressors.

Not shown is the aluminum rads and alloy wheel.





Yesterday morning I made a light haul before work-


It broke down as follows-
Alloy Rims (In this case a Mercedes C230 rim) 24lbs@ .84/lb $20.16
Clean Auto Rads 41lbs@ .62/lb $25.42
Lead Acid Batteries 210lbs@ .36/lb $75.60
Total $121.18

Your 56 ford is not all original, it's not dripping oil.

Nice haul and a very cool Ford. I'm partial to the bug in the background though!

Cool Ford! Is it original?

Nice car, Hope it dont get scratched or dented at the yard.

The '56 is pretty much the way I bought it. 223 6cyl(soon to be replaced with a 312 out of a '56 T-bird), stick shift= 25mpg in town and a touch over 28 on the interstate. Ragged upholstery and a little rust here & there but it works great for a daily driver! I don't haul iron with the Ford, I've a truck for that.

Best thing about the using the car for collecting scrap is it doesn't fit the stereotypical 'scrapper's ride' profile so I can go into the rich parts of town without drawing negative attention. If anything it works well as an icebreaker!

Yeah, my yard here says the second you enter the yard, whatever happens they are not liable.

love the car and your scrap pile, too !!

well thats scrapping in style.
