    Keeping all those cars lined up neatly really tidies up your yard Silas. I'm sure your customers like seeing that.

      @Chappomusic 10 месяцев назад +1

      Over here in Europe those cars are sold for more then new “restored “ , ugly ones you won t find under 2500. So just leave them as is and it’s a potential goldmine. Hope you have registration documents . A 6.3 scrap? No way ..

    I had one of these I think back in the early '80'a - bought it new, drove it for two years, traded for a new Bayliner plus some cash to them. I loved this little guy. It had the speakers in the headrests and back then I fit in it perfect. Today, not so much. It was red like yours Silas and sure broought back memories. Thanks.

    When I worked at the salvage yard we used to use the seat foam for shipping up tail lights also headlights and other fragile items we were shipping up north and two other salvage yards the only things that didn’t work on was the door glasses they usually shattered in shipment but if you’re shipping for eBay or online sales that seat material will come in handy and you can scrap the seat frames after that !

    15:47 ,should hard wire the dump trailer with good Guage wire, & a Rotary switch that goes both to either the post or the battery, & a quick disconnect to the main vehicles like the trailer lights, my friends did it to several dump trailers because sometimes the batteries die on the job

  • @EfficientRVer
    @EfficientRVer 10 месяцев назад +1

    The first week that Fieros hit the showrooms, I guess around 40 years ago, my boss detoured our lunch run to a Pontiac dealer and almost bought one. It was quite a different-looking car at the time. He ended up with a Saab 900 Turbo instead.
    About 20 years ago, I got dozens of brand new Abrams tank fuel filler pipes at a government surplus auction. Still have some. They're made of 321 stainless, which is "titanium enhanced". My only repeat customer for them on eBay was a guy who modified Fieros for a living. He custom fabricated an exhaust system from them, for whatever engines he was dropping in to make modified Fieros.

    235 early head the same style of valve cover as a 216. You are correct. A Chevy engine is probably a Babbitt engine. GMC would probably be a nonbabbit engine. CHARGE YOUR TRAILER OFF OF YOUR TRUCK AS IT RUNS. ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS AT HOTWIRE IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE IT. YOU CAN RUN IT HOWEVER YOU LIKE. SOME STYLE PLUGS CAN USE THE CENTER ONE. THAT WAY THE ALTERNATOR ON YOUR TRUCK IS CHARGING IT AS YOU'RE GOING DOWN THE ROAD HERE IT AND YOU CAN LET YOUR TRUCK IDLE OR KICK UP THE I DO TO A LITTLE FASTER IDle and work your don't trailer off of both the batteries. You may want to put a bigger alternator and their check your specifications for the truck. Skylight pulling a travel trailer in keeping your refrigerator running you keep whatever you got in there cold as you driving down the road. Also the Astro all-wheel drive van. Is engine transmission any good? How much for it? How many miles on it. Or just how much for the van? I'm clearing land right now and your tools of the trade would come in very handy. But then they cost quite a bit to run and if you can't work them all the time it's not worth the expense. Thanks 👍

    • @AdventuresMadeFromScratch
      @AdventuresMadeFromScratch  10 месяцев назад

      Only issue is there is no wiring on the trailer, and also the landfill is about 3 minutes away so it wouldn’t be able to charge enough. Super simple to use a set of jumpers now that I have my long ones

Looked like you maybe got the same or more amount of rain. It's amazing how the dog compound was just about all dirt and after that rain all the Bermuda grass is back and now I need to mow it.

    A few years ago I read or saw a video about ( mostly modern day cars ) that would become collectors items in future years.
    The Pontiac Fireros' were on that list. And yes, you are correct, they used to be EVERYWHERE - but, just like you said - you
    used to crush them by the hundreds. They really were not terrible cars - but they required attention to the maintenance and
    most people did not take the time for routine maintenance. I think people drove them until they broke down and then tossed.

    That white bus would make an excellent junkyard cabin if you can get one of the a/c units working. You could get a solar panel or two and make a battery bank with old truck batteries to make them work and sell the engine and trans and all running gear and set it on the ground basically.

    Glad to see the Mercury Monarch find a new home. While these are not popular today, they did sell well when new. I always thought these were nice cars. I have driven and ridden in some. Overall, the interiors of the early models were quite plush. Nice attention to detail and very good proportioning on the styling. Ford put extra effort into the build quality in the initial design and grade of materials used in them. In the later model years, they started taking cost out of them. I do like these cars.

    👍👌👏 You really got a lot done and the scrapyard looks a much better already. Congratulations 🎉 2).The Mercedes type W108/W109 on your trailer is my favourite Daimler Benz model. By the way: Some videos ago my heart almost stopped after seeing all those old Mercedes cars you crushed already a long time ago. By the way: What will happen to the Mercedes scrapyard/field collection you showed some vids ago? Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
    Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.

I used to run a 30,000 lb capacity forklift that had hydraulic fingers. they were used to keep large gas transmission pipe from rolling off the blades. That loader with the bucket and jaws reminded me of my forklift. Looks like you sold one of those Mercedes. My brother had a 300D with the 5 cylinder diesel in it and it was a decent engine for mileage.
