    I had a whole lengthy post written up but then I deleted it all. This is just going to turn into yet another one of the OP's fishing expeditions, an a waste of time. Someone else with more patience an tack then me, can try to help this guy.



    I will say this one thing...To the OP if you lack a truck to curb shop, or move a bin, how in the heck do you think your going to do car recycling? The parts don't just fall off an the cars don't just magically appear in your yard with the twitch of a nose ya know?

    An with that I'm done with this thread and the others by this fella. Just one big circle of "Lead me to the water then fish for me".

    Youtube sure is a good teacher, on a great many things..for example..everything I ever learned on the fine art of making a washing machine shake it'self to pieces came from youtube.

    Love me some youtube as anyone who has read the Music to scrap to thread knows.

    +1 on "get a truck". And plan to put some time and sweat equity into taking care of business. I admire the alley scroungers with their beat up trucks out there workin' it day after day.

    I get a lot of would-be exporters who come to my yard looking to buy semi tires, diesel engines, trans, etc. don't have basic means to transport the stuff. Had a guy buy a Ford 6.0 pickup diesel and show up with a Chevy Trailblazer, expecting to haul the engine in the back. I had to tape measure the cargo area and show him there was no way it was going to work.
