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

[@katbot2190]

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.

[@offhandacoustic]

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.

[@gilnorton1]

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

[@jeffclark2725]

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

[@canadianfloormasters]

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.

[@busterturner8702]

You seem like such a genuine and intelligent person. Just love this stuff. Good job bud.

[@barbfrank917]

Silas this 71 year old lady can't wait to watch your videos, I'd give you 1000 likes if I could. God Bless you and your family for ❤

[@fomocopowersgarage7103]

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.

[@beaverc2884]

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.

[@patmayer7222]

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.

[@johnhere6058]

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.

[@justinraystyles3537]

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

[@gregory1953able]

i always enjoy the contentent of your video's. Never to old to learn something new. Hope all is going well with you and yours.

[@erichorsan6993]

I love the claw and I love the shredder. I also love everything you crush and the loading was great too. Great Work

[@daewooparts]

Every child's dream .....or nightmare seeing the claw grab the school bus 🚍

[@deshaunjackson8188]

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.

[@normabrawner4881]

Glad those prices are up for u right now . Was a interesting video keep them coming love watching.

[@johnblake3863]

Thanks! Learn something new every time!

[@storageyardresident]

Really great to see that old yellow Cadillac go to be used at a demolition derby.

[@edgarrogers3706]

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.

[@dombutler7685]

You monster! How could you do that? I mean working on a Saturday!! Thanks Silas, sad to see the old bus go, but at least they didn't destroy your trailer!!

[@aliceevans3357]

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

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

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 !!!!

[@ericholliday7666]

Would love to see the root beer bottle cap when it's done

[@darrellsaunders4267]

That old Dodge flat has some metal on that!

[@garylangley4502]

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.

[@PRR5406]

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.

[@geobrown9413]

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

[@1964corvan]

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.

[@rogerebert5122]

Always interested in the business aspects.

[@garycousino4016]

Me too

[@daveseddon5227]

Another interesting video, Silas - as you say "make it while you can"!

[@adeeponionbrah]

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!

[@valentinrobert1192]

That was really cool old bus that Never find needed lot to restore That 77 chevy Malibu ill like those car Hope it Doesn't get crush or derby Nothing Last forever

[@oldscoolcooldiecast1879]

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

[@frankm8533]

That's a cool idea

[@lamarwadsworth2661]

Nice pair of '55 Ford taillights on the old bus.

[@ProjectRescues]

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.

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

It was definitely a shame that no one wanted to pay for it. Unfortunately sentimental value doesn’t pay the bills.

[@ProjectRescues]

@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch How much was it? Did you bother to advertise it on Marketplace or Craigslist or Ebay?

[@DumpsterMarcus]

great day of scrapping!!!

[@jaywalker712]

Neat seeing that claw grab that old Binder.

[@edburke8361]

Great vlog. Thanks Silas.

[@michaelguinn5736]

Evening Silas! Crazy weather here in Michigan, thanks for sharing your video!! Be safe!! God Bless!!

[@davidlilly2383]

And good luck my friend.

[@michaeljuniper5176]

Another great vid , to watch here in the UK.

[@iantuck6364]

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.

[@boblamb8421]

Great video as always Silas. Always interesting.

[@mikeyoungblood1706]

Great video Silas, Can't wait for some crushing action !

[@markhoffman9674]

Glad you made some good money off the bus! I hope you can make more off the parts you removed! Have a great day!

[@temujinkhan6326]

sad couldnt be refurbished... good advice on saving extra money for those unforeseen hard times

[@nancyweliczko9334]

Wow I love that old bus, it would have made a cool She Shed or Man Cave, so sad to see it being chopped up.

[@tonymatthews1039]

Love your videos over here in England

[@johnm.5848]

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.

[@ericsikma4764]

Funny. Never heard of one of those as a "whizz wheel". Hilarious, actually, because here I'm asking, "What in the world is a 'whizz wheel'? Did steel fab for YEARS and we went through about a squillion and six of those things and for the entire time there, we always knew them as a "cut-off wheel". Hahahahahahaha!!! I "have to" remember THAT term because now I know what a "whizz wheel" is... LOL!!

[@leeroyholloway4277]

Somewhere I picked up the term "Ziz-Wheel" ...been calling them that for years. Must have been someone in the airplane business as we use them on air motors and they make a Zizzzzz sound.

[@ericsikma4764]

@@leeroyholloway4277 OK...I stand corrected. I now know what a "Whizz Wheel" AND a "Ziz-Wheel" are. Hehehehe!!!!!!!!!!! Wait.

[@NM-eb5ej]

It's called saving for a rainy day! Now a days people don't do that and we see the results on the news every night!

[@jamespn]

I really dig the 46 IH nose, nice score.

[@robinmcknight3731]

Great video Silas.......try to save the VW Golf behind you.......

You made good wedge on that bus awesome stuff silas great content and vid .

Great video silas, keep'um coming..

[@tommalone4310]

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.

[@brianchute8517]

Good for you Silas. Enjoy your video a lot. PS: You little boy is a cutie. Reminds me of my little dude who is 24 yrs old now. Cheers

[@jakertheelaborater2573]

You need a grill bar for the front of your truck to weigh down the front.

[@michaelseiber1658]

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.

[@gazza6348]

G'day mate loving it cool channel buddy 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@mr_jake.y8348]

Keep up the good work.

[@thevictim2072]

I cannot believe the quantity of 70 + year old cars and trucks that come through your yard.

[@evankibbe590]

Always like watching !!😊🌎🌞👍👍

[@johnnydeville5701]

Sad that the '78/'79 Coupe Deville is going to be a derby car, but I guess that's better than just being straight up crushed! Nice PAYDAY on the ol bus!

[@iamelcapitan]

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.

[@danbartolini27]

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

[@MrCRDOC]

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!

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

You’ll want to check with your local yard as everyone has their own rules and prices.

[@mysterybuyer3738]

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.

[@vhsorbeta95]

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?

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."

[@dave3657]

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.
