Yea I know guys that won't do it unless they are makin several hundred each..... I figure if I make at minimum what a tow bill is worth then i should be happy, but on many I have made out like a bandit on crack!
What did you mean about cutting them up?
Oh and as for a mess and piles of parts, etc.... :
I go load the car on the trailer, back up to my garage, strip off what i need or want, battery, brass radiators, anything else that's easy or worthwhile (core items, alternators, starters, radiators, battery, a/c condensor, radiator, battery cables, etc) then if it has converter or alum wheels or nice tires I jack it up on the trailer and snag those items. Depending on what yard I take it to I might have to remove the gas tank as well. As mentioned always raid the interior, might find money, nice speakers or who knows what. I found some DVD movies in their cases in one recently. I have a plastic 55 gallon drum I put small scrap metal in around the garage, I always empty this into a trunk and usually have at least one junk tire to throw in the car (the yards here allow 4-5 tires per car)....
Takes me anywhere from 10 minutes to an hr to strip a car and it never leaves the trailer. No mess no fuss. The parts I take off don't take much room in my garage.
