Took a small load of ACRs, aluminum,brass and copper to the scrap yard yesterday and was VERY pleased with the prices right now. When I was a trashman, I would collect any metal and wire and make about 600$ a month just off stuff people threw away. If I could have had a truck follow me around all day, I could have made more in scrap then I did working. Couldn't take everything but boy if I coulda.
I'm glad you saved those noses. Not everyone has space for the whole vehicle so it's nice they can enjoy part of it.
It was sad to see such an old bus get crushed but you're absolutely right, you can't save them all
Got to make hay while you can. Good times come and go, you’ve seen it for yourself, so you know you are passing on good advice. Really enjoying all your adventures. Peace
I can't say it enough on how much I love your channel, I think you have a very cool job and I respect the work you do. I won't lie but I hate when you get those cars & trucks crushed for scrap but I get it, you can't keep them all and you have bills and a family to take care of but needless to say it still brings tears to my eyes saying goodbye to those classics. Aside from all that you are a very likeable person with smart work ethic that I enjoy watching every time you post. Keep up the great work brother. Wayne from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Who could think to do a thumbs down on any of these videos,they are the highlight to by day, especially on my bad days,great videos
You seem like such a genuine and intelligent person. Just love this stuff. Good job bud.
Love it. Hate when people get upset when they don't want to pay you what you want for something, then complain when it doesn't get saved. You tried! I have a Honda Scrambler right now up for sale, it will easily part out for double what I'm asking, and all I get are the ridiculously low offers acting like they are doing me a huge favor. I gave them the chance, oh well.
good God I started bawling when you chopped the fronts of those classics!!😭😭
Thx,for this,,,,,our prices are up at 200-ton,tin.....great to be a recycler!!!....lots of stuff in your yard!!..can't wait for this snow to leave!!!long winter here in N.wisconsin...........great vid.........pat&family.
I enjoy watching your video's, and the smile on your face tells me you get enjoyment out of making them - It's odd that no one wants a front bumper with those noses - I have made several benches out of early 50's noses, but that takes a lot of time.
Those three Ford noses that you have leaning against the bus look like some kind of old robots. Turning the hog feeder into a root beer bottle top is a great idea.
Every child's dream .....or nightmare seeing the claw grab the school bus 🚍
Glad those prices are up for u right now . Was a interesting video keep them coming love watching.
Great video keep them comeing. We are waiting on our next adventure. Make all the money while you can good things do not last forever.
Nice pair of '55 Ford taillights on the old bus.
Would love to see the root beer bottle cap when it's done
Good By to all those Noses and the Bus - Good Payday indeed and You toke all those Parts off it anyway ! Great Claw Action at the Scrap Yard ! Always a pleasure watching Your Videos - so very Interesting ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
That old bus fought valiantly! It was all the claw wanted. You make money while you can dear. Don't worry about the armchair experts, they don't know all the particulars of what you're doing/dealing with. Always great to see a video from you. Stay safe and GOD bless
And good luck my friend.
Always interested in the business aspects.
Me too
That old Dodge flat has some metal on that!
That would have made a cool junkyard cabin.
Another interesting video, Silas - as you say "make it while you can"!
Good call on scrapping the bus. I was hoping those lights and lenses would salvage. The travel stickers inside on the front ceiling were neat!
Really great to see that old yellow Cadillac go to be used at a demolition derby.
sad couldnt be refurbished... good advice on saving extra money for those unforeseen hard times
Evening Silas! Crazy weather here in Michigan, thanks for sharing your video!! Be safe!! God Bless!!
I saw the inner fenders of the bus, and they had a cool louvered pattern. I know that the bus is gone, but louvered panels like that might make a good hood for a rat rod, or part of some wall art. Maybe add some tear drop lights on them for a better look.
That’s crazy but happy for ya always wanted a cool old bus for my hotwheels collection to be displayed in
That's a cool idea
great day of scrapping!!!
Thanks! Learn something new every time!
Great video as always Silas. Always interesting.
Love your videos over here in England
I drive a school bus for a living and I'm sure my boss would have loved to have that 46 International school bus sit out front of his company.
Great video Silas, Can't wait for some crushing action !
Is that a VW Rabbit in the background? They used to be a dime a dozen, but today they're collectors items! Your judgement on the balance of profit versus investment is spot-on, Silas. Sad to see the green Dodge sedan get cut up, but in the end, it's about making your business grow and turning a profit to feed and cloth the family.
Another great Video Silas. It's a shame someone didn't come forward to give that buss some new life, but obviously you can't hang onto everything forever.
Glad you made some good money off the bus! I hope you can make more off the parts you removed! Have a great day!
Great videos! Those old Bull Horns are pretty expensive here in The UK ;)
Great vlog. Thanks Silas.
I like how you salvage what you can while making good business decisions at the same time! Excellent video!
I open the window near my computer to listen to the birds all the time.
Great video again. I was hoping you would have cut the back of the bus also but it’s all good. You saved some great stuff from it anyway. The old Malibu would be a decent derby or other race car 🏎 maybe.
G'day mate loving it cool channel buddy 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
I am surprised some hippie didn't want to save the old bus. lol.
I don't understand the whole chopped nose thing off the old trucks. Either you have the whole truck or you don't.
Agreed. What good is the first 12 inches of a cut off Ford truck hood? If you need a hood, dont you need the whole hood? Why would you want to splice a piece of hood or front together?
@@vhsorbeta95 Apparently they just hang them on the wall for decoration. An Etsy thing.
Man that was one cool bus. I would have bought it if it was on the East Coast. I've actually seen worse saved. Those really old pre 50s busses are getting worth more and more.
I guess there are those who value money more than cars, and ones like me who value cars more than money.
It was definitely a shame that no one wanted to pay for it. Unfortunately sentimental value doesn’t pay the bills.
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch How much was it? Did you bother to advertise it on Marketplace or Craigslist or Ebay?
Another great vid Silas, the bus was a handful to get off. Don’t think it wanted to go. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Get it while you can. Just the way it is. Hate to see those 46-47 Ford trucks cut up. If you get a good clean one with a title I would like a chance to buy it.
Another great vid , to watch here in the UK.
Great video silas, keep'um coming..
Very rare bus , not many made, the war had just finished
Love your videos brother! I’m interested in any old car and truck radios you may have. I rebuild
them. Favorite is 61-66 food truck!
Got to get while the gettin is good 👍.
Keep up the good work.
Way to go cool
I cannot believe the quantity of 70 + year old cars and trucks that come through your yard.
Heck yea rootbeer......ok back to the video
You’re cool and I enjoy watching your channel
With the computer chip shortage, and shortage of new vehicles, why are scrap prices so high?
The parts are worth more
Those front fenders alone
Hires or Dads for the root beer cap.
👍👍👍
I went with Dad’s
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?
That unsecured oxygen bottle really makes me cringe.
Guy calls and says I need a,front fender, Silas says got 1/2 the fender with front clip!
Interested in bus taillights.
Hey Silas love it root beer pop. I have lived several places that make fun of ya for calling my A$W root beer pop. To them it’s a soda or cold drink lol. Good content Silas and love the consistent videos buddy.
@Silas i've been cleaning up our old farm and scrapping stuff, came across a Huge pile of Old Gas Well Drilling stuff, Drill stems n sucker Rods n Rig Tooling should I haul that in separate from the tin stuff? wasn't sure if it was considered under some other metal type cause it's OMG Heavy
You’ll want to check with your local yard as everyone has their own rules and prices.
That's some big balls small brains shit, running those death wheels with no guards lol! I do that unsafe shit too, but the death wheels get all my respect, very painful when those explode into sharp shrapnel!
I don’t do it, but I don’t tell other people how to use their tool lol. I’ve seen them explode so I always leave the guard on
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch I wasnt trying to karen on you, I just hate to see bad shit happen to good people, thanks for your uploads!
Great video
Just curious all the junkyards I been in the have an old truck or car that serves as there dedicated torch vehicle has the tanks and all the stuff you need right in the car just dive it to where you need it . No need to pick up the tanks and move in and out of your truck
Hi Silas. Neat old 40s bus???? I notice you use propane with your cutting torch. Does that work out to be less expensive. I guess proipane is cheaper but your may use more?
Was the large stop light on back bought already?
What did you call that angle grinder?
Do people buy the noses from the old vehicles ?
Does he ever sell any for demolition derby car?
I don't like leaning gas tanks with exposed regulators.
Kinda kills me to see those get cut up! Up here in Mass I'd kill for a solid project like those.
Need a new keyboard. Mine seems to have a mind of its own and also my cateracts don't help. LOL
Did you save the bus glass stop light?
What a shame,my parents would had rode buses like that back in the day
make a clock out of it
Did I spot a red VW Rabbit (Golf) convertible in the background?
Where do i find your sales page?
when you cut the fronts off why don't you add the bumpers to it?
It adds a bunch of weight and no value. Most customers don’t want them. Every now and then we save the bumper as well
I can't believe the amount of very old cars still out in your area. On the East Coast....they have been gone for 30 years already. But very few are restoring, or want to do work nowadays. Also zoning laws make storing them tough. I think car culture will be fading away, as next generation doesn't seem to care...and enironmentalists gonna regulate them off the roads...This sucks.....but I don't see how to stop it.
At onetime all of your old cars had no value and were unloved by anybody. At least you have given them a chance. And who knows, the ones that you have now may of been unloved older cars melted down and reborn. After you crush them they may become cars in the future that are well loved.
What is your email again for purchasing stuff from your properties? There was some tires my husband wanted to buy from you
Thats a bummer
I would've given $700 for that and used it. Probably a $1000.
it was a shame with the beautiful bus 1946 I would have bought and restored if I had had the opportunity ☹️
6:24 What's that saw?
Bastards wont pay the price scrap em.
That sucks!!!!!
you should buy a Milwaukee grinder with a whizz wheel and some extra batteries with your extra money ten put your money back
I did 😆
Can't believe no one wants these old vehicles. Especially the old Dodge sedan. They would sell to Australian car people. But the cost of shipping is a huge expense. So I say if you can't sell them complete then only choice left for you Is to crush. You can't keep them sitting around in the yard as that will send you broke.
How much for the short bus e350
I would have gave u $1500 for the bus but I don't know where your junkyard is located? Where are u located maybe I can come and check your place out and buy something
Cuánto costaba yo telo uviera comprado para restaurarlo así como estaba aún sin motor cuando tengas uno igual me avisas telo compro que desperdicio pero en fin así son los norte americanos
Please let me know I you have a good running and driving car ore bus. I really want to do a road trip.
i would have bought it
