I like the way you state your business! You don't take anything from people posting negative comments and opinions. You have a business to run and are an expert at it. 🙂
You are the right buyer for these remains of cars. The more I see on TH-cam it seems that there are many fields of decaying cars in the USA. I am just a private seller who downsized home and i tried to save the metal back of an Art Deco electric fire but there was no demand
I think you're doing a good job saving what you can.. you can't save everything.. room to store it and keeping track of inventory would be hard.. keep it up!!
Love the video and totally understand the need to finally crush them. The best idea I can think of, and you've probably already done this, is to contact Studebaker car clubs and give them a "now or never" offer. Keep up the great work!
Man you have a family to take care of, I wouldn't worry about what people think you do what you got to do, that's the business your in, great video, keep'um coming.
This stuff was all pretty well picked over. I think you did a good job saving what you could turn over quickly. In fact, some of the stuff you’ve saved, I thought, “Okay, what?” But, you know your market.
Again, as you said, you're saving a lot more than most would, mate. I'm seeing a lot of metalcraft artists drooling over the possibilities! You've also answered a lot of my unspoken questions about some of the hard-to-find bits on what I believe would be a rather uncommon (and therefore hard to find) make of classic vehicle. Also, having several sets of glass for my own classics, I know how much fun storing them is and I would not like to try and ship one, for sure! Great to see you getting through what looked like a HUGE undertaking to begin with. Not long until we see the crusher turn up, I bet!
Evening Silas, I agree, you saved what you could, Studes are not my favorite vintage car, I might be in to the larger Stude trucks, you didn't have many if those...those vehicles were pretty much picked over...be safe...God Bless!!
If everyone wants to save this, that and the other they need to get out there and help you. lol People just can't realize how much hard work it is doing what you do. And all you do in a day, day in day out.I appreciate it, I've worked hard all of my life. GOD bless you, stay safe!
Love to tour the yard with you...gotten to be a habit every day. Terrific old cars...wish they could all be saved but you can't. Know you feel the same way.
Stop apologizing for what your doing. Do what you do, that’s why myself and many are here. Enjoy your videos, keep up the good honest work. You can ever make the complainers happy, so don’t waste your breath.
You are right, you can't make all the people happy all the time. You have to do what is right for the business at the time. I really enjoy your videos, keep doing what you are doing.
I owned two studebakers both 1956 that posi rear end was a TT i think that ment twin track, Keep on scrapping, you aren't bothering me an I like studebakers.
Man you guys worked really hard today. You're a good man to fix the tractor tracks for the owner. Not too many people would do that. I know when you hit 60 and if you are using a riding mower, those ruts hurt your back a tad. Can't wait for your Thursday video. A few of my fb friends watch your channel now. They really enjoy it.
I feel the same about the glass. The yard I worked at 31 years ago made me pull glass all the time. Never sold any!!! Even the stuff we stored in old box truck bodies ended up cracking just from storage. Nice to know it was a total waste of time to pull it all.
You and the guys getr done like you have done this a time or two. Also when you answer the uninformed questions people have it is respectful . I like seeing all the cool stuff you run arcoss
Studebaker just closed, it didn't coast to a stop it stopped all at once. The parts that were already made did not get thrown into the trash. There was a factory full of parts and those parts got saved and that is why you can still find NOS Studebaker parts almost 60 years later. Some of the cars did not sell well and there are no parts but there is a reason they didn't sell well no one wanted them.
Do what you gotta do Silas,I’ll keep watching. It is cool that you can use a grill,door or rear end for wall art,or maybe a dash. If I had a shop,I’d be shopping.
Like your channel Silas. When you’re calm I like it best. When you respond to the complainers your not so calm. You’ve got an enjoyable business. I love junk yards… (oops automobile recyclers).
Seems odd everyone says "don't junk it, don't crush it, I would/could/shoud..." yet at the same time, there they sit, year upon year, rusting away to nothing. If these cars were/are indeed so special why in the hell are they left to rot? Thanks for sharing. You're crushin' it Silas!
Look forward to the videos of the studebakers getting crushed. Cowboy car crushing crushed over 40 classic cars last week including studebaker's, Packard, and old Ford pickups. Don't worry about the haters cuz it makes great videos seeing classics getting crushed.
Silas does not need to be defensive about what he does. It is what it is and it's a public service of sorts. They can't all be saved. The economics doesn't work. This channel is one of the best for car buffs.
13:13 Good call on the annoying insect ambusher... Praying mantises wait to ambush or patiently stalk their prey, but once they’re ready to strike, they do so with lightning speed, attacking with those big front legs so quickly it’s hard to see with the naked eye. In addition, they have spikes on their legs to skewer and pin the victims into place.
Those "end table " axle housings - if I remember they were referred to as hypoid style, later ones were "banjo" style. The rear axles in older Ford cars had a center member holding the differential and the axle tubes were turned into non adjustable jack stands!
Stuff them you have a great way of working do all those crazy people think your made of money its a business good luck with the job well done keep it up
Silas you will never make everyone happy .as far as I am concerned you are saving what you think you can make money on and that is the name of the game . I would give anything to be in that business . keep on doing what your doing I love the videos always looking for the next one have a great day
At 20:04, that montage/lapse reminds me of something this guy I worked with 20 years ago said one day at lunch. He said "You can't build a chicken with just wings." I was hoping it would make more sense as time went by, alas.... I think I had suggested we had enough leftover chicken parts on our plates to reconstruct one bird.
Actually there's an entire website dedicated to those cars and people looking for parts they're extremely hard to get and they deem a very premium price
When you remove dash parts you should retain all the screws. If you sell that item someone is going to want to mount it on something and they will greatly appreciate the screws and hardware.
Don't sweat the haters Silas,anyone needing anything off those hulks probably already took it long ago.Those hulks were picked over long ago....They all look like they've been there for 30-40 years if not more...
Think of it this way as far as saving all the chrome if there were 50 pc left in the world and you crushed 49 of them the last one would then be of good value.
Its sad if someone gets mad at you for scraping those cars. I’m pretty sure if you had a studabaker and needed parts you would have known of the man who owned them and where they were located. You have a business to run and it’s awesome that your saving some of the parts for art. To me that’s thinking outside the box and I doubt there are a lot of scrap yards that think beyond scrapping. Thank you for sharing your business with us.
If he would lay the torch Dow flat after you get the puddle started cut, you can zip through tin metal at lighting speed , I’ve been a cutter for 40 years , I can torch all iron metals like a saw cut it , lololll, nice 10 to 15 tons an hour, nice , thanks BigAl California.
Hallo Meister ! I am a german fan of oldtimer cars. My favourite movie: "Cars". Now I`m learning american-englisch language by You and Your Salvage & Crash Yard ! Correct ? My question: What´s about all these rare windshields and other glass-windows ? Do You save one of each minimum ? Back in the 1950/60 years cars with "panorama-shields" were luxurious in Germany - thats why it brakes my heart & glasses (!) when I see them crashing ... Thanks für understanding me "Germish" ... plus german "Dankeschön" for Your "movies" - entertainment at it´s best ... Super !

I really like your channel I wasn't sure at first but your doing a good job and I'm addicted now lol thanks for saving as much as you can
good honest work done by a top bloke keep on working
I am so happy I came across this channel. Videos aren't an hour long. Truly enjoy it! Thank you Silas!
I like the way you state your business! You don't take anything from people posting negative comments and opinions. You have a business to run and are an expert at it. 🙂
Getting it cleaned up quickly. Thanks for taking the time to explain why and what gets saved. Peace
You are the right buyer for these remains of cars. The more I see on TH-cam it seems that there are many fields of decaying cars in the USA. I am just a private seller who downsized home and i tried to save the metal back of an Art Deco electric fire but there was no demand
You are so sharp Silas, you know your business. Really like that fact. Good on You.
I think you're doing a good job saving what you can.. you can't save everything.. room to store it and keeping track of inventory would be hard.. keep it up!!
Love the video and totally understand the need to finally crush them. The best idea I can think of, and you've probably already done this, is to contact Studebaker car clubs and give them a "now or never" offer. Keep up the great work!
Haters are going to hate. The important thing is you love what you do. Thanks for sharing your adventures and your time Silas.
Don't apologize for anything Silas. If they want to save it, they can pay you for it and save it themselves...
Man you have a family to take care of, I wouldn't worry about what people think you do what you got to do, that's the business your in, great video, keep'um coming.
I love hard work - I can watch somebody do it all day. 👍🏻

Another great video Silas. It's good to see you're at least saving pieces of all the picked over cars and trucks
Love to tour the yard with you...gotten to be a habit every day. Terrific old cars...wish they could all be saved but you can't. Know you feel the same way.

How a man treats animals regardless of size is a good indication of his integrity and moral fibre, you are a true gentleman Silas cheers🍻

You should also cut the trunks off to make couch too im glad you keep as much as you can
I always loved the shape of those cabs on the trucks. Great videos. I'm enjoying watching the process.
My favorite afternoon show! Sure looks like fun.
Your a successful business man. Most people that watch have no idea what you do love your videos
just remember rick nelson's song. you can't please everyone so you have to please yourself
Hey Silas, do you ever get bored of the same comments! Put a disclaimer up!! Haters always gonna hate but now 23,000 subs - you're crushing it!
You and the guys getr done like you have done this a time or two. Also when you answer the uninformed questions people have it is respectful . I like seeing all the cool stuff you run arcoss
Love this Studebaker clean up. So interesting! Was cool how the guy drove all night to get the Avante.
The half of a differential housing could make a good umbrella base for a large outdoor umbrella.
Good job Silas keep these videos comeing ,You the man.
Studebaker just closed, it didn't coast to a stop it stopped all at once. The parts that were already made did not get thrown into the trash.

Good evening, you are doing a great job.
Do what you gotta do Silas,I’ll keep watching. It is cool that you can use a grill,door or rear end for wall art,or maybe a dash. If I had a shop,I’d be shopping.
You saved a lot of great pieces ! Those axles would be cool lamps!
You are exactly right.
Like your channel Silas. When you’re calm I like it best. When you respond to the complainers your not so calm.
You’ve got an enjoyable business. I love junk yards… (oops automobile recyclers).
More of a Studebreaker with this old iron--good job.
Seems like every time I get under a dash to get some little thing off is when I find a bees nest lol
... Studebaker Champion P/U truck cab & front end is a Lark with a different grill & a truck back behind the drivers seat .. !
Well you are saving more parts than what I would save and I'm abit of a saver and reseller, so you are doing great if you have time to do it all !
Love your channel, it's great what you are able to save from these cars! Best to you and yours 👍
Love your channel. You’re a blue collar hard working guy, like myself and so many others. Keep up the good work, brother!
That grill from the yellow dash @ 14.40 would make a nice lamp bulb guard.
Seems odd everyone says "don't junk it, don't crush it, I would/could/shoud..." yet at the same time, there they sit, year upon year, rusting away to nothing. If these cars were/are indeed so special why in the hell are they left to rot? Thanks for sharing. You're crushin' it Silas!

Everything that has a begining has an end.
im happy with our channel
You gotta do what you gotta do!
That Nash wagon will make a good drag car, although I did not get to see the driver side of it , nice , thanks BigAl California.
Silas does not need to be defensive about what he does. It is what it is and it's a public service of sorts. They can't all be saved. The economics doesn't work. This channel is one of the best for car buffs.

Believe it or not, the mantis can nab a hummingbird.
@12:27 my favorite type of wrenches for removing rusted on nuts & bolts 🔥
Keep doing what you are doing, don't listen to people who don't know what they are talking about. Is that cake by the ocean when you are driving?
Keep doing your thing!
Crazy stuff!
Those "end table " axle housings - if I remember they were referred to as hypoid style, later ones were "banjo" style. The rear axles in older Ford cars had a center member holding the differential and the axle tubes were turned into non adjustable jack stands!
Wow, I’ve always wanted a “Walking Stick Insect “
👍👍👀🇺🇸🇺🇸😎
Stuff them you have a great way of working do all those crazy people think your made of money its a business good luck with the job well done keep it up
Silas you will never make everyone happy .as far as I am concerned you are saving what you think you can make money on and that is the name of the game . I would give anything to be in that business . keep on doing what your doing I love the videos always looking for the next one have a great day
Well,I learned something today, I never knew Studebakers had copper radiators , thanks 🙏🇺🇸😎👀
your videos are always interesting. I am looking forward to the crushing videos.
Studabaker even made presidential carriages !!
In my head that fender chrome was a samurai sword for just a few seconds.
At 20:04, that montage/lapse reminds me of something this guy I worked with 20 years ago said one day at lunch. He said "You can't build a chicken with just wings." I was hoping it would make more sense as time went by, alas.... I think I had suggested we had enough leftover chicken parts on our plates to reconstruct one bird.
Put a bunch of cars on the train tracks. They'll get crushed all right! haha 🤣🤣🤣
Actually there's an entire website dedicated to those cars and people looking for parts they're extremely hard to get and they deem a very premium price
When you remove dash parts you should retain all the screws. If you sell that item someone is going to want to mount it on something and they will greatly appreciate the screws and hardware.
23k subs already! Great content man.
Don't sweat the haters Silas,anyone needing anything off those hulks probably already took it long ago.Those hulks were picked over long ago....They all look like they've been there for 30-40 years if not more...
Interresting video
Actually its quite cool that you are salvaging alot of those cars for wall art or lawn art,not just parts
KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEO,S
doing a great job on saving all that just like i would do. and its good thing to cuz as you said literally any other scrapper wouldnt save anything.
You are doing a excellent job keep up the good work. Love the videos
I think your doing an unbelievable job and you have some realy good help there quick to
Id like to learn if any of your trolls could work just half as hard you do in a day. Talk is inexpensive. We love you in the state of maine.
mean ole scrap man lol
On your recip looks like Diablo blades nothing better
Maybe you see if Milwaukee tools will sponsor you all it takes is a phone call
I think you saved alot. Cool vids Silas
Wad 'em up, dude.
Salis great video as always loved it you are doing one hell of a job really enjoyed it thank you for sharing it and your time the best videos.
Great job!
Think of it this way as far as saving all the chrome if there were 50 pc left in the world and you crushed 49 of them the last one would then be of good value.
Love that tool box on your truck...i just bought a montezuma and love it
Looks to me like you're saving quite a bit. These cars were pretty stripped anyway. Logic says there's no way you can save it all. Great job Silas.
Its sad if someone gets mad at you for scraping those cars. I’m pretty sure if you had a studabaker and needed parts you would have known of the man who owned them and where they were located.

Yep when i cut something off a junk car I need I always cut more than i need so I can cut off what i don't need later at the shop.
Just Crush em - You don't owe anyone a apology - NO!! Wait - Good Pliers may want that - hahaha - P.S. I follow him too.
You probably could save the leaf-spring from the suspension, Blacksmith and knife maker may be some buyer!
Can't wait till the next one!
The horns would have been a good save!
I have a pile of horns already off in storage somewhere. All in excellent condition
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch well alrighty than lol
Every video is awesome 👌
The only people you have to answer to are you and your family. Keep doing it the Silas way!

Really wish I had about 10g and a semi and trailer available. I'd love to come out and pick your collection. Your only about 5hrs away.
