People who let rare cars rot.

I had 4 hrs taking it out for him. I was going to leave it in. I saved every part and it was perfect and the brackets . He also wanted the bumper extensions front and rear . They sucked taking them off. He was just just making things up why it wasn't worth that much. Then he made the offer.

I was not in a good mood because when I called him and said I saved the grille. He asked me if I could also save him those bumper fillers. I was filthy dirty with **** in my eyes from just taking them off and wasn't in the mood to deal with and Asshole when he arrived. $50 for everything wasn't even close.

73 and 74 grilles I can take out in a flash. The 75 grilles had more hidden screws then I ever saw. That could be why I never saved one. It takes 4 people to carry the front bumper and I could not get those bolts to come off either. I should have just ran it through with the forks on skid loader and called it a day .

Another thing, Some of those car that you think can be saved. They don't have titles they are always lost . The scrap yard don't even take them. Then you have to cut them up and stuff them in another car.

I have a grapple bucket on the skid loader I can tear them to shred in minutes. Like this deck lid it was perfect off the scamp I put it on the car to sell the car to someone. The deck lid alone was worth the asking price of the car. He was complaining the deck lid was rusted. I told him $350 for the car and I'll replace the lid . It had an 8 3/4 323 rear disc brakes. Drive it home. It was a younger guy I was going to give him the car cheap . I knew he didn't have much money. He brought his dad back and his dad offered me $200 . That was lower then scrap weight without the drive line.
I was not in the mood my wife was on my case to put a fence up all morning. Which I really didn't have the money to do. She thinks it grows on trees

I picked it up about 4 feet, Slammed it on the ground a couple of times . I spun around in the loader and said." Is there anything else you are interested in" . They looked at my glaring eyes got in their truck and left. We laughed our asses off for a week.

I used the disc brakes and the rear in the Duster I am building. I guess I am getting to old for Bull ****. In the last year I threw many off the patch. Even friends that were never really friends. Since I was diagnosed with cancer I don't have time for idiots.

Sounds like after being diagnosed w cancer you have gotten a bit testy w people. I assume you like these cars too otherwise you wouldent be working on them. So why destroy good useable parts and or repairable cars? That primered 70 dart or scamp, I woulda bought that, and trailored back to Tx.

Ya sure you dealt w Assholes but what about the rest of us. I would be willing to pay reasonable prices for stuff. A long while back . A couple years ago I recall, You had put an ad up on fabo with storage units full of stuff. I had PMed you with a list of stuff I needed. Talking you down on price was never in my thoughts. However you said you didnt want to deal with shipping. That's part of it. Not everybody lives in your area.

I have sold parts all over the U.S. Canada, and overseas to Poland, Germany, England, Belgium, and Iceland, to people on this very site exclusively. Almost never had any issues. Most on here are super people to deal with.

I think somebody was gonna buy all your parts from you at one time, and then never showed up so you told all of us about it, threw it all in a dumpster took pix, posted them to Fabo and had it carted off. What did that prove anyways, that people pissed ya off so you were gonna act that way and take it out on fabo folks by posting pix of that ****.

A real **** It attitude is what I am reading from your quoted post.
