It was sad to see such an old bus get crushed but you're absolutely right, you can't save them all

@offhandacoustic 2 года назад

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.

@lt.punchdrunkington7123 2 года назад

I like how you salvage what you can while making good business decisions at the same time! Excellent video!

@katbot2190 2 года назад

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.

@gilnorton1 2 года назад

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

@canadianfloormasters 2 года назад

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.

@fomocopowersgarage7103 2 года назад

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.

@justinraystyles3537 2 года назад

good God I started bawling when you chopped the fronts of those classics!!😭😭

@beaverc2884 2 года назад

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.

@johnhere6058 2 года назад

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.

@deshaunjackson8188 2 года назад

I love when Silas talks numbers. I want know what he pays. What he gets when he sells. How much money in steel does he think he has in his yards? Because he has hundreds if not thousands of cars and at these prices there's a lot of money laying around.

@iamelcapitan 2 года назад

Better to scrap the way you do with saving the better parts before crushing than crushing everything. The school bus was cool but way too modified to really bring back to its original glory.

@oldscoolcooldiecast1879 2 года назад

That’s crazy but happy for ya always wanted a cool old bus for my hotwheels collection to be displayed in

@frankm8533 2 года назад

That's a cool idea

@garylangley4502 2 года назад

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.

@iantuck6364 2 года назад

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.

Another interesting show! Those headlight rings are known as "headlight doors" in bodyman lingo. Keep on crushin'.

@1964corvan 2 года назад

no they are not! headlight doors are panels that flip up or down over the headlights usually by a vacuum actuator which were on a lot of various luxury cars from the mid 60's to the mid 80's headlight rings or bezels are just that.

@PRR5406 2 года назад

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.

@mikefong5685 Год назад

Great videos! Those old Bull Horns are pretty expensive here in The UK ;)

@michaelseiber1658 2 года назад

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.

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.

I "have to" remember THAT term because now I know what a "whizz wheel" is... LOL!!

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.
