check out my buddys scrap trailer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

oilyrag80 · 02-09-2013, 10:03 PM

I went to my buddys to get some parts and I almost cried when I saw what he's taking to scrap. There is a lot of decent hoods in that pile and i couldent talk him out of scraping them.

brad_man_72 · 02-09-2013, 10:08 PM

Shame, my hood sucks....

Rust free Az hoods ought to bring a premium. And how are the scrap prices?

JointTech · 02-09-2013, 10:21 PM

whats scrap? $5 a ton or something? Give him 50 cents a hood and he'll still come out on top. lol

he dosent care about scrap prices says he just wants them gone I even said id buy them for mor than scrap is worth but he dident sound very intersted.

Spartan · 02-09-2013, 10:31 PM

Hmmm. Taking original parts out of circulation raises prices. If I was in Az I'd buy em... Damn

Has he lost his mind? .... I'd bout near drive out there myself to get some of those parts. I need a good vacation myself.

**68bowtie** · 02-10-2013, 02:02 AM

no way. uncool. i admit there's no point saving something if it's just going to sit on a shelf and rot away, but someone could find good homes for this stuff.

stomper · 02-10-2013, 02:14 AM

I can't bear to look any closer at those pix. Only consolation is it makes the ones we already own worth more.

I cannot handle seeing things like this. I had looked for months for a decent hood, that is sacrilegious to our hobbie! I am going to have to go to counciling now.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 02-10-2013, 06:11 AM

Is that the old Wahl Brothers' Yard?

Shyguy · 02-10-2013, 10:05 AM

I sure wish I was closer. I needed a hood for the build on my '67 and instead of buying a new stock looking hood I went with a cowl hood since the prices were not that different.

Originally I wanted a stock hood, but now since I have the cowl hood on the truck I like the looks better with the strips.

.. looks like a "buddy" would say "here ya go, buddy, if you want 'em take 'em"

msgross · 02-10-2013, 01:17 PM

I will come and buy all of those cabs... let him know.

of course I can't pick them up until this fall since i'm deployed... but I am serious about a big buy.

**special-K** · 02-10-2013, 03:24 PM

That's pretty ignorant to scrap something just because you are no longer interested,don't want to deal with it,don't need the money,or whatever...like you're the only person in the world. There's supposed to be more to it than that. He's not getting near what anything's worth,so sell it to someone who doesn't mind "dealing with it".

**Boog** · 02-10-2013, 03:52 PM

Soooo it must have been his day to be mad at the world I guess..

71K20chevy · 02-10-2013, 05:17 PM

How can someone have that many parts and scrap them for peanuts?

Doesn't he realize how much money he could have made?

**WIDESIDE72** · 02-10-2013, 06:30 PM

It seems backwards to save a bunch of window regulators that are pretty much a dime a dozen, but scrap good hoods. Is he a little..."

"

Seriouisly... is he?

oilyrag80 · 02-10-2013, 09:04 PM

He does not scrap everthing that was probaly only a 1/3 of the hoods he has.
His door and fender collection is just as big. He does sell alot. I think at some point you have to thin the heard. Trust me he saves the good stuff
look at this pic its his tilt column storage!
