Re: Scrap Vehicles

There are no such thing as scrap vehicles, they must all be restored and preserved as some would have you think(see the "I hate it when Hollywood does this" post). Hahaha, just kidding.
Usually you will remember some potentialy critical piece of gear, you left on the rig, right about the time the tail lights of the wrecker have turned the corner.
I would say keep anything that is a bracket, its amazing how usefull and easy other brackets can be used and modified for new applications. Also keep as much of the wiring harness and connctors and you can remove and store, they are very usefull for future modifications, to match existing automotive wire colors for splices, and also to have multitudes of extra weatherproof automotive connectors for future additions and modifications.
SAE bolts of all sizes are very nice to have stock piled.

Re: Scrap Vehicles

disc brake parts, backing plates and that sort of thing. parking brake pedals can be handy. Brake line splitters are also nice to have.

Re: Scrap Vehicles

Parking brake cables come in handy for emergency repairs, tilt columns, odds and ends of switches and dome lights come in handy. Made a cheap test light in an emergency once out of a dash light. Any little fittings, clamps, windshield squirter nozzles, etc., etc. Nickmil

Re: Scrap Vehicles

Come awn, another olds could drive that far up onto an olds.
Loose the bricks that were used to ramp up to the headlights and realy drive up onto that thing, with an effort worthy of a Jeep.
Your neighbors gotta love you.
I have also seen the 88 Olds grills go for anywhere from $900-$1400, I dont even know what they would get for a full front clip,..very rare!
