    That's called baby steps. You have to learn to walk before you can run.
    A lot of us started with a car, van, some even used a bicycle and trailer.
    Heck I ran a Taurus for quite a while, came across a deal out of a storage unit. Bought a used van that had been in storage for 8+ years for 250.
    and 6 months later I traded it for a ranger pickup. Right place, right time.

    Crown vic is good. Pull the back seats and you basically have an el camino now with the size of the trunk. As they say in Brooklyn " yoos can fit 8 people in dat thing as long as yoos cut dem up da right way!"

    I started in an Altima and then saved to find a great deal on a '96 F-250. I loved that truck, and the time I spent in the back smashing and pulling things apart. Tip, keep lots of rope in your car. Keep the nasty stuff in the trunk, tie bulky stuff to the top, and make sure you are not using the family vehicle. Most scrap is exposed to the elements and can really pick up some odors. The wife and kids WILL hate you. Plus your interior is going to pretty much go to hell.

    Happy scrapping metal brother!
