stripping

has any one ever fully stripped a car and sorted all the metals me and a buddy was talking about this we could probably strip on down in a few hours would the award be there

it takes a lot more than a few hours to get a car all the way down to clean metal, the reward isnt there unless you are going to sell the parts. Sounds like you are just wanting to do a quick strip. Id just pull the radiator and ac condenser and catalytic converters if that is the case and your not planing on reselling any parts.

When I strip cars I usually take the rad/condenser, some a/c lines if they are easily accessible, cat, gas, any parts I can sell as cores, rotors/drums, wiring, again only if its easily accessible, valve cover(s) if they are aluminum and quick to remove, once under there sometimes the rocker arms or the pieces that hold down the cam shafts are aluminum and are only held on by 1 or 2 bolts, I take the intake if its aluminum and tires/rims. If its a 4 banger sometimes I remove the head, not always. I also Always take the light bulbs and fuses for resale at our shop. Haven't bought fuses or blinker bulbs since iv been there. That only takes me about 2 or 3 hours. Maybe a bit more if I really get into it.

Oh yeah, and check all the nooks and crannies in the passenger compartment, I found 4 $20 bills and a film canister full of toonies before!

oh you meant cars...

I have only ever done one car (97 Plymouth Voyager). I took my time and separated everything, stripped wires, and resold everything possible. Only put in an hour or two at a time over 2 months. Still have a few parts I haven't tried to sell yet but i'm at a little over $900 now. The weird stuff seemed to sell first (BCM, ACM, rear wiper motor, mirrors).

I always grab the wiring. In most of them I've done its gotten me an extra 75-100 dollars and takes me an hour or so

Depends on how much you pay for the car versus the price of scrap.
