The cars are in south east VA. I have a deal worked out with a yard to take all steel and cars dont want to elaborate cause I grew up with owner and have seen what he gets at shreader and know what HE not the girls at the window pays ME. He cant give a good price on converters or aluminum so I take that to another place and he is fine with it cause he actually sells hat stuff to the then and they have the steel guys trucks pick up roll of containers of steel that the take. It works for them and me.
I am going to let the kids finish this car and clean the mess they made in my shop up and find my 1/4" ratchet, ext, and anything else missing and i'll just give them every thing the whole car brings for thier work. If they want to make money i'll get them a clutch job or motor swap or heater core on a caddy.
I believe i'm better suited to teach them to be mechanics if they will listen than scrap haulers. We may gut some more stuff but will have to see how much stuff brings. Dont get me wrong i'm not hating on scrap haulers cause till this last 50 maybe 70 cars are gone I am one to and you will see my trucks and trailers hauling them ever chance we get, just think the kids can make more money fixing cars. They did have fun and learn some stuff so i'm happy in the end.
