I know he does not like Fords cause the case is filled with solid tar and you can't remove it, and the buyers don't like that. Also I heard there is gold contacts (or board) having to do with airbags, but that could get dangerous if one accidentally went off. Hope this helps some,,, On the GM board, I figure there's 2 lb of alum. left after removing the board. I think the lid is stainless but haven't spark tested it yet.

What grade of board is m.b. or is that just a standard motherboard classification? If so, what do you get a pound for that grade?

That was just me cheating while typing, sorry it's motherboard but I don't remember if it was #1,#2, or#3, that's why I said I'll have to check with CS.

#1 Motherboard *Description Below*- $4.00 per LB
#2 Motherboard *Description Below*- $3.10 per LB
#3 Motherboard *Description Below*- $2.20 per LB
