Im sure you already know this cory but the late model stuff has better damand and prices than the older stuff. In the economy we are under currently people are avoiding unnecessary expenses "projects/restorations" and concentrating efforts on the daily drivers. You cant go wrong with late model economy cars like focus and cavalier, the parts sell faster than you can put them on the shelf.
scary is more like it , ive had a good week so far, got two cars today one on the trailer im gonna have to figure outwhat to do with, got two to get tomorrow, ones an 03 taurus with a bad transmission, but i got an 02 wreck in the yard i just hope its that simple, plus we bought 6 old heaps at a farm for 1000, cut up about 300$ in fire extinguishers this week alsoQuote:

Might be a good place to connect that to
the one we got is a wagon, i don't know the condition for sure but it looked okay, we been going around picking up stuff we had already payed for but was to busy to actually go get. we picked up a 16 foot utility trailer and then went by and picked up the jobbox below, to give a perspective of size thats a 14 milwaukee chopsaw in the back and a 4 1/2 rigid grinder, the thing is huge

Dam, what a box! Built in workbench and everything. Imagine standing there trying to rattle a few bolts around and that lid came down on ya! Haha, bad day ; )
I saw some nice wagon shots too! ; )
its built really well, the latches are steel and the slot they slide into is about 3/4 inch, it would be pretty hard for it to come out, yeah its heavy and im a pretty big guy but it took three of us to move it around.
put you a griddle in there, cook burritos and everthing!
phone rang off the hook yesterday evenwith my new full time status i dont know if i can make all these calls. yesterday a ford farmont 83, ford taurs 03(i know im a day late) and a 73 dodge colt wagon(first of hte 6 of the heaps) are what i hauled in. the bail bondsman i buy from called and said he had two for me to come get and 02 focus and 99 alero, ive also got to get another alero from a mechanic shop and a 80s dodge truck. anyway heres the pick of the fiesta best i can tell by the descriptions on wiki its a 58, where the tree is layed over the car is not hurt. not sure what we are going to do with it but we decided not to just scrap it, ive got alot of way less cool cars setting in the yard i can haul off first

That wagon is awesome.
yeah i got dreams for her, not a dent on it except the hood has a fold in it, ive got a buddy here that works at a hotrod shop, anyway im not gonna scrap it yet
going to this auction today, this was my first job at the street dept, i worked there for 8 years, anyway they got a new lot, these building are build on a landfill, they have to be tore down, its raining here today so who knows i might get to steal one
Grady Auctions & Realty, Inc.
edit im most interested in building 3 i think it will go the cheapest
the chrome pieces alone are worth a small fortune on ebay, ive seen single pieces sell for $300+ if they are rare enoughQuote:

Good luck on going full time Cory. Don't forget to get Frito Lay as a customer. Who knows what they'll have to scrap.
ive talked to them quite a bit already, 99% of the computers are leased. i may be able to buy the electric motors they just throw them in a metal bin and it all goes to shred. some of these electric motors are over 12inches in diameter, they have probably high grade boards in all our machines as most of our programs are windows based. ive talked to the network guy at great extents as well as the guy on the leadership team over the recycling and he beleives we can work together. those kind of accounts are the hardest to get il just have to wait and see what happens, i have an exit interview next week so after im done with it ill try to get something started
I've made decent money buying up Frito Lay's step vans.
idaho, did you get them from frito or a lease company, im not sure about the route trucks, if i remember right the otr trucks are leased ive not been in the warehouse since 2001 so my memory is a little vague
Picked them up at Frito locations, but they were auctioned through dovebid. I see step vans and otr all the time.
Cory,
Do you by any chance have a right side head for an 8.1L chevy gas burner 2002?
