  • Scrapping out some ECMs from what I believe were older Ford Crown Victorias. Not much more to it than that. Some scrap aluminum, gold, little bit of copper, somewhere in there. I believe these were from the Police Interceptors from that era. I picked them up at the auction with a bunch of stuff for those cars.

    For me, Half of the fun is tearing things apart just to see what is inside. Keep it up.

    Thanks for the shout out man. We have lots of dinosaur tracks, fossils, waterfalls, fishing and hunting in the area. I just spent two days with the paleontologist in the area doing some field studies with them.

      @HHRecycling  Před 28 dny +1

      No worries, buddy. That was a cool discovery, and I will need to talk to those paleontologists, if possible. I'm trying to find a safe way to get a mold of a print. I don't want to damage anything and they probably have 3D scans. I tried Tumbler and nobody ever gets back to me.

    • @BuickOutdoors

      @HHRecycling I might have a solution for you. I asked them about that too and I'm looking at getting a extremely soft rubber apoxy type solution that I can make a mold with. The paleontologist said as long as it doesn't damage or leave a residue it should be okay and if it's used on something fairly small.

      If the price is right people are willing to take a chance and buy something as 'parts only' and take the chance it may work if condition looks good.
      It's a good time to sell repair parts and the economy is pretty trashed right now so people can't buy new.

Luckily the guy accepted it, or I would have been out the shipping. Then they took $48 of the $175 I sold it for. I won't bother with that again. I'll just keep it here and put it on marketplace. Different in cities, for sure, but up here things are mostly scrap. Nobody wants to pay the shipping.
