So. Officially shut down for two years this weekend, decided to clean some stuff up.
Out behind the metal sheds, in a funny 10' X 10' "bump" in the property lines, there is a big fir tree, spare front and rear bumpers for the 50 Tudor, and 10 old radiators.
One Model A, 0ne Mopar part number, had hoses and t-stat housing indicating flathead six, honeycomb, the rest Flathead V-8.
I had forgotten how heavy those SOB's were. Drag them out, heat the brackets off, hose them out, load them in the truck...maybe I'll get something for them at the metal recyclers.
I didn't know if I was gonna get a couple of them up into the pickemup truck.
I hate to think about going through the metal shed.
Gotta be 40 or 50 heads, bunch of inlet and exhaust manifolds, transmission cases, driveshafts, suspension bits, flywheels......maybe I can find someone who needs flathead parts.

Copper/brass rads ~ $1.80 a pund. Call around first. Didn't we have a thread on this a year ago or is it Davja vu .:grin:
 
Gotta be close to a hundred pounds of that stuff, maybe more.
I'll find out tomorrow.

Before you scrap you may want to google the part numbers. I know some tanks can bring $1000-$2500. Check the Mopar for sure. Rat rod guys may want the others. Might wanna post what you have on the H.A.M.B.
 
:lol:

Good thing Dave's your buddy - this thread's toast!
 
'salright. You're coming back into town. I can wait.
 
Toast?!? Did somebody say "toast"?

I like toast. With SPAM.

:devilgrin:
 
yeah, but, who's on first?
 
Yes.
 
$531.02, cheque in 10 days (mandatory over a certain weight, for theft prevention purposes in this state, anyway).
 
How many pounds?

Our semi precious metals and resources are being stripped from this country and sent overseas at an alarming rate. I'm seein stuf disappear down here like you wouldn't believe. Look at how much copper has gone up in the past ten years.

If we ever had to "make due" in a bad situation, we'd be in big trouble.
