FYI, you'll probably get a lot of requests for the frame (sub frame) parts if they are in good shape. I parted out a 67/68 Barracuda and couldn't keep up with the requests for front and rear sub frame sections, including the trans sub frame sections. radiator support and control arm body sections are also a big ticket item. A and B pillars are also always a nice item. Ended up shipping most of it by Greyhound which saved a bunch on shipping making it easier to sell the big stuff. You can weigh the stuff on a home scale and go online (Greyhound), punch in your area and the destination and the length of the part and you'll get a close estimate.
I ended up buying a spot weld remover (Harbor Freight, they are cheap) and it paid for itself 1000 times over. People need just about every single piece of sheet metal from front to back and if you use a spot weld remover the parts come out nice and clean.

Hope this helps.

You're welcome....if you buy a center drill (HF) it will keep you from breaking off the small drill bit that comes with the spot weld remover. Use the small center drill to get the hole started in the center of the weld because the closer you are to the center of the spot weld the more likely you are to get all of the weld. Once everyone knows that you have good solid sub frame components you'll wish that you had 10 Barracuda carcasses. Bought mine for $750 and sold the body/frame parts for $3500 but I had a few interior parts as well.

Great return!! I got a nice pair of grills,tail lights,fenders etc.. from this car.318 car, no title. Southern Missouri car that sat for at least 30 years. Did you sell full quarters from the car?

I sold everything except the roof and the rear floor section and the hood but only because they too large or heavy (expensive to ship). I live in S. Texas and the majority of Mopar heads are up North. If the quarters are more or less rust free (mine had a little rust) they will sell easy. I even sold the rear section below the trunk lid and both tail light body sections. Just be sure and keep track of who asked first for each part because some members get upset if they were first and then end up missing out on a part. Fenders (in good shape) are almost like gold!! If the roof rails (rain gutter) are in good shape they have value, not to mention any stainless!! Rockers, in good shape, have value. I got $325 for the rear glass stainless all by itself but it was a Fastback. I lot of members prefer original factory sheet metal when they can get it.
I had to get a notebook to keep track of all the orders and who came first!!

I like to be fair if I can, so that makes sense. That's good info., so I don't ruin anything useable lol. It's been raining in Chicago area, so I can't get pics out. I will as soon as I can. Thanks Treblig!
 
Oh...I forgot to tell you that if you advertise like fenders/quarters in the "Exterior part for sale" and sub frame stuff in the mechanical for sale stuff you'll get more exposure. You can also post this thread in the other posts so everyone can see that you have a whole body. Same goes for other parts (grill, tail light, etc).
