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?
