Project clean up junkyard

[Big Nate's Plowing]

Walbridge Ohio, home of Lushers Auto parts, the owner had a heart attack and called us to come and make the place more appealing because it is currently for sale. Some people on here know that I am a certified scrap metal broker, and thats why I am overseeing the project, we started on it monday.

the place has been closed since 97

well I kinda shot myself in the foot as far as the scrap metal goes, we signed the contract which was supposed to pay $40 a ton to them which made a net profit of a little less then $100. as of right now steel is under $100 a ton = $35-$45 a ton profit, plus whatever I can sell on ebay. however it will make up in the long run, considering that $40/ton price is for ANYTHING metal... well this morning my worker said he found a cashe of aluminum rims.... over 200:cash average weight is 18# each x 51¢ lb x 200= alot of $$

:cliffnotes version:

I pick up junk cars and crush them
take to my buyer
get paid $35 a ton
sell whatever I can on ebay to make money
sweat my ass off in the sun

A long time ago I worked in a junkyard for a few months. Once I spent about a week cleaning radiators--torching the bands off them and taking out the drain valves. (On edit: I had to go to a less technical term for the "drain valves", because the automatic censoring program thought I was using a naughty word. :rolleyes: ) When I was done there was a dumptruck full of copper. I drove it to the scrapyard and they handed me $2300 in cash. I was being paid about 7 bucks an hour...

One of the other things I did was to squash cars with a hilift, load them onto a truck and haul them directly to the shredder. They'd always check that the gas tanks were out of them and the tires were all off. I was told that one time a guy had put an old railroad wheel in the trunk of a car to get the weight up. They said it cost him $50,000 dollars to fix the shredder.

Have fun, Nate. :D

(And if you should happen to come across an ashtray and the cup holders for a 96 Lumina.....) :rolleyes:

If you should happen to find a front Dana 60, I think either a Dodge or Chevy can be the donor) we could do some serious negotiating. I'm going to be just outside Columbus the week after next so I could combine errands. For that matter a 14 bolt FF rear is another possibility.

I've got a 10 bolt front and 14 bolt semi float that will work for what I have in mind, but the heavier pieces would be that much better.

Alan what are you building?

plenty of 14 bolts and rear 60's, I found a front high pinion RC kingpin 60 today, unfortunantly we both know it is worth alot of tacos. so does the yard owner:rolleyes: but I believe there is a front end off of a 96 ram 2500 still out there that we could work something out on

[GeoffD]

Nate i think it would be cool to see some pictures when your done.

there is like 40 sets of caddy caps in that pile, got a pic of what you want?

as far as the chevy door.... I dont think there is a chevy newer then a 72 out there:eek: plenty of dodge stuff though

[SIPLOWGUY]

This is what is on the car now. They are incorrect. Wire wheelcovers or someting that clips inside the wheel, not on the edge is preferred.

I guess that settled this: Chevy is the longest lasting and the most dependable truck! :D Like a Rock. :wink :usa
