    The one thing I am having trouble figuring out if you have seem to have zero experience at cutting up heavy equipment with armor plating on it. Why you would get into it and what would make you want to try it? I am not putting you down by any means at all but I have seen allot of people in this industry get burnt trying something that they have no business doing in the first place. Where are you going to get guys to run the plasma cutter or torches? Manganese and chrome are going to be all over the place on a vehicle or tank or humvee. How do you intend on cutting through it and separating it. Chrome and maganese are a major no no to be mixed in with plate or heavy melt. How are you going to be able to identify chemistry of the steel you are cutting with no experience. I can tell when something is not 100 percent steel when I cut it. Do you or your burners have that kind of experience to tell if something isn't right and segregate the material so you don't get rejections. Just a few questions I have carry on.
