Silas, when I saw the drone shots, I thought it looked like match box cars lined up so neat, then you told your story when you were a kid. So you are living your childhood ❤ never miss an episode ❤🙏

[@tmajcan94]

Perfect way to close out the weekend Silas. Really cool pieces you guys cut up. And it's great that you save the remaining pieces to help other cars. Great stuff as always!

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Cool The back of the tank was very cool thanks 👍😊

[@gregoryreffitt7957]

The first black Caddillac is a 56 and the 2nd is a 63. The bumper on the taillight is straight up and down and the 64 is a slight angle from top to center and then angle back to bottom.

[@Zachn8r]

I think it’s funny that after you cutdown the Cadillac, it became a “normal“ sized car. Keep on crushing!

[@scraptruckdeancincy1057]

Be great if you could remove the scrub/junk trees and line all the antique cars in rows by brand. You could open a "open museum" of car history!

[@robertcable6348]

Fuel tank would make a cool BBQ setup.

[@johnhaines2299]

Great idea a field of dreams, just old cars!! Save the AMC Eagle. Can't understand how there is no rust on your vehicles, if you ever visited the N.E. rust belt you would have a greater appreciation for rust free old vehicles

[@peterbockholm3176]

One could make a really cool barbecue from that rear of the tank truck. Very unlike those made of "brick" that you buy from Home Depot or Walmart. They are a bakers dozen, but this would be something unique and the envy of anyone with a car themed man cave. I would pay good money for it but I live in small apartment in Sweden so......

[@sxelectro]

as always a great Video thank you Silas, have a nice evening with the family

[@stuartfletcher2378]

Thanks for the great video Silas , till next time , Stuart in Ontario ..

[@brobrown6553]

Terry is the man

[@kyliepierson8718]

Hey Silas another good vlog tanker 4 Silas 0 that was pretty funny that tanker was a 4 round knockout, well till next time be safe take care

[@kevinbarnes8596]

The tanker has some serious baffles in it and it won't crush

[@JeronWhite]

This is something that needs to be the drain. Make sure you've got something to drain and sit in trying to take the take off. Somehow make sure to drain

[@stevemarshall5197]

This is great so much variety 👍

[@richellen6855]

Silas, I loved the story of your childhood junkyard!! You're a lucky young man to have found the dream that meant so much to you! Thanks for letting us all ride along with you :)

[@jeffclark2725]

Its a Sunday afternoon adventure, thumbs 👍 up double time thanks for bringing us along

[@wyore4344]

Silas, please keep up and the Hard Work and Great Video Content. very best to you and yours...and your parents as well. thank you very much...walt+mrs.

[@johnhaines2299]

Glad your saving the old cars! Can not believe how there is no rust on most of the vehicles wow. Where are most of your car buying customers from?

[@theyangview1898]

Looks like the yard would be a lot more efficient with the removal of those trees. Split them into firewood

[@jamesmarshalla8565]

I’m super excited for you Silas, owning a classic car yard!! I’ve been a fan of old vehicles and antiques and watching your uploads just brings me to tears! You are my hero Silas, for saving more history every day!

[@donsab-xz4so]

He does not want to own a classic car yard.. He is a scrap metal processor. He holds old cars for a while to try to resell them but he is generally not running a parts operation.

[@keithjackson1180]

A friend of mine used to have a 58 Cadillac. That thing was huge. You could sit on the back seat and stick your legs out and not hit the front seat. If you were ever in a head on crash, you would be airborne headed for the front of the car since rear seat belts were not included.

[@patdesrosiers6423]

The couch made from the back of the tanker would make a great wedding photo setting. A little paint and either custom upholstery or an appropriately sized car seat. You should have or come across some 1000# casters like the ones I put under my rollaway toolbox to move it with. As you said, it looks really heavy. Great video, cheers from Denver

[@markreece8904]

This is an outstanding video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TerryAllen-c4p]

The back piece you cut off the tanker could make a good chair. A good conversation piece.

[@MichaelMccann-e5f]

next time you have to cut up flamable tanks put dry ice in it. fill until the fog comes out the highest point. ive cut LP tanks using this method

[@steveriley1995]

Great job buddy.

[@johnnymack8442]

You have a cool place!! Some people want to go to Disneyland but i would want to go to your place.

[@TerryAllen-c4p]

You've probably heard it before, but it amazes me watching you operate the loader. Never seen anyone that good. You have that thing mastered. Great job.

[@pamelaarescurrinaga8201]

No wonder you're so good at junkyard logistics you've been figuring them out since you were a little kid.

[@garythomas4914]

the back of the fuel truck looks like a chariot!

[@kingtut5923]

I think you could make a nice couch out of it

[@morgansword]

I am surprised that someone tossed new exhaust pipe like that because its the same stuff you buy as a kit to make your own exhaust stuff. Last car out had the nose clipped and trunk was a older two door hardtop, I have a feeling it might still get a new set of quarters on its rear end and then its just assemble it again. See here in Alaska, that is still premium metal. Also the Dakota, Ranger, and S10 frames are so popular as frames for hot rods to go on. I think your doing quite commendable on this clean up. I have seen some incredible rigs in that collection. I so wish we were closer or easier to go through Canada for us Alaskans.... a lot of us are not allowed to go through the border just because of mistakes made as a kid. Silas, its a beautiful yard now but I am sure that snow is going to take out a lot of trees yet... might want to see about topping some of them so it doesn't crush a rig worth a ton. And yes I get it, wish you would of if it fell on a rig and if it doesn't then saved some cash.... hard to draw that line

[@rogergreen3890]

should have cut the side boxes off of the fuel tank . would have good shop cabinets

[@garryhall2964]

Looks like a charriot!

[@claytondewey3367]

Love the drone shots. Really looks different after a lot of hard work. 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@dave-uf8ir]

Excellent vido getter dun silas 😊

[@Anders.W.]

The ribs on the 56 Cadillac are sometime missing on the cars .

[@mandymoo7406]

great sunday night viewing,thank you

[@timothylong68]

Great content thanks

[@CARLOS62B]

It is always great to see you guys saving as much as you can .... that tanker rear looks like an interesting project for someone.

[@PRR5406]

Seeing the yard being cleaned up is really good. I'm waiting for you to squish the old buses, no not your camp. You've made mention of the dilapidated house trailers as well. I would think the steel underframes would be worth the effort. But I know you know your time and business better than we visitors. Yard and videos keep getting better, Silas!

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

The frame from a trailer house is worth about $300 for scrap. It costs about $1,000 in landfill fees plus many days worth of work to tear one apart. That’s kind of why it hasn’t happened yet 😆

[@jaypavlik9616]

Very nice!

[@scraptruckdeancincy1057]

Amazing how cool cars stopped around 1980 and became "appliances". Thanks a lot Japan....

[@indianaslim4971]

Ole Silas proving that dreams do come true if you put the work into it and take the leap of faith when an opportunity presents itself...well done sir!

[@normabrawner4881]

Another great adventure love watching keep the videos coming.

[@gregdannels1699]

Another great video Silas! 👍 I would be having fun if I did what you do. I also would absolutely enjoy being around all those old cars & trucks! I would want to keep them I think, but you gotta make a living. LOL

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Tanker Truck "Seat" is sooooo very Cool - Great Piece ! Crushing Cars and Trucks - making more Headwaves ! Another Quality Video - Great Variation that You are giving us - always a Pleasure ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!

[@Burningbush8]

Silas I’m new to your channel and love it! Did you crush that tanker yet? I work for a contractor on an Air Force base. We work in fuel for everything on the base including the jets. POL, petroleum, oils, and lubricants. I love the doors on the side of that tanker. If you didn’t crush it I’d be interested in the doors.

[@dombutler7685]

Thanks Silas, keep living the dream!

[@johnhobbs4133]

I’m looking for a COE from the early 50’s.

[@garyruark9506]

That black Caddy was a 54, 55 or 56 Fleetwood 60 Special. The ribs on side are 60 Special only. Best Cadillac they made besides Eldorado.

[@markc5593]

You're living my dream sir, thanks for the show.

[@rothgarn19]

If I lived closer to you I'd love to help out there. You are doing an awesome job and love the videos.

[@andrewbratos6907]

Hello Silas, great job, have you ever thought about a Shredder? I dont know much about them as in buying & running them

[@williamdeegan7840]

The silver Caddy is a 63. 1964 Cadillacs had a body colored piece going across the grill. 63's didn't.

[@oldcarjunky]

very nice your gas tank would make a nice bench set up against the side of bus cabin with a swing away pic neck table

[@frankmclaughlin1683]

Hi, You could hire someone to remove parts , advertise them and sell them and ship them on commision . Someone that would like to be there own boss .

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

I’ve tried finding someone to do that for years. No one wants to do that.

[@johnkranz4004]

Very KOOL Silas you definitely got a lot done

[@knoester7714]

The wiring pigtails for the taillights on a 94 Dodge pickup is a one year only. Please save

[@clintonneuhaus1818]

I would pop a love seat in the back of that tanker you cut.

[@NM-eb5ej]

Silas, great job on the video well done, I bet you never dreamed of is a man running a scrap yard making and editing your own videos!

[@williamdeegan7840]

22:37 looks a 55-56 Cadillac.

[@robertdensmore1696]

You are living my dream I always wanted a junk yard but never found the right yard too buy

[@04_subarukid]

love the vids guys :]

[@johnbarnett7365]

Another great video Silas and well edited. Til next time

[@kylemathena1491]

Good for you Salas 😊

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-1983]

I have met Many fans of Silas and adventure made from scratch. They all say the same thing. He is trying to save the old cars and the other people in the business do not. As far as that AMC eagle that's a pretty good selling tactic to be saying you might have scrapped it if you had some more time before prices drop. I'll go ahead and tell a couple of AMC guys that you have the AMC eagle. Wife really enjoyed your little kid matchbox Hot Wheels story. Brought back memories. This is a great addition of silas's chop shop, or we crush them. but first we save them!

[@charlesstarlin6354]

Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎

[@coffinspiremgmt]

You'd have a lot more room if you got rid of some of the brush and trees.

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

Some day I plan to crush every car I own, but I’ll never get tired of exploring and camping back in the trees.

[@TruckFan542]

It’s Squishin’ Time! And maybe something goes BOOM!?

[@retired0307]

Did you ever have any wildlif e escape from the crusher as you were loading them into the crusher?

[@kapekodbob]

JonathanW needs a good steering wheel for a 56 Studebaker golden hawk ?

[@kapekodbob]

Great job, are you storing the Ford flathead V8's under cover ?

[@raywilson800]

Do wall hangers bring more than the restorable vehicles your robbing them off of?

[@GabrielW2017]

remove some of the trees and put all the old stuff nicely and viewable/open?

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

I’m working on crushing the stuff instead

[@GabrielW2017]

@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch yeah but you still gonna keep some of it?

[@harryellis8873]

Friend owned a scrap yard and he could not keep up cars stacked four high and you have got to have social time some nice cars and pickups you would think there is someone out there who wants parts and you have them ✌✌

[@jamesferrell9404]

Only thing I can say is he was brave to cut even a tiny hole. Seems had it flared up it would of exploded even with a tiny hole. Would it not?

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

Not with the lid open. I cut propane tanks all the time. The trick is to pull the valves and let it sit with the valves facing up for awhile. Then cut it and if there are any residual fumes, the flash will vent out the valve holes. Just make sure you aren’t over them.

[@GSHPWI]

Silas, what's considered "antique", in your opinion? IMO, mid 80's and older.

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

In Kansas 35 years old is an antique

[@robertsmith7580]

Awesome video

[@williambeahm2574]

Good afternoon/evening here in Pennsylvania. I'm thinking about doing a road trip out to see Independence, Kansas. I enjoy watching videos. I also sent an email the other day. I don't know if I did it right.

[@gerry-p9x]

Bigger question will it gp BOOOOOOOM?

[@daewooparts]

14:51🧨💥 🤣

[@MrShekoexile]

Silas by any chance can you pull me a slip yoke from an '88 Dodge Dakota 3.9l V6 AT?

[@waltergolston6187]

so you think this metal will be converted into artillery shells or the like?

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

Most recycled cars are used for metal for new cars or construction.

[@frankforrest1597]

Great drone footage of your yard/ collection. Do you remember the first automobile that you crushed? 👍🤙

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

No, I was just a small child. Hard telling what it was. Probably something from the 50s or 60s

Would you sell around 25 or 30 tags I'm wanting to build things with them

[@jakertheelaborater2573]

I know camper have lots of wood and fiberglass and scrapyards don't want them. But why would the landfill just bury that expensive metal? I want to own a scrap yard someday and if I crush cars, I will put small amounts of camper I the cars or better yet buy a shredder and shred my scrap cars, appliances, tires and campers to avoid all of the fees (OTHER THAN TRASH).

[@derekwhidden9730]

Hey Silas, not a big fan of yours yet but warming up to it. Yeah, it hurts to watch some of your frames to tears videos. But I saw something going into this one at about 1:30, hoping you have not crushed it yet... an early 90s Geo Tracker, soft top. Looking to get parts of that if you still have it. Also looking for steel rims for an 03 Subaru Forester.

[@richardjackson1397]

He black caddy is 55 or 56

[@sec1868.]

How can we purchase wall hangers? Love that caddy front end

[@MarksGarageChannel]

I'm curious, do you control the crusher by remote from the cab of the loader?

Would the tanker truck doors fit my 49 f1???

Yes but I’m not parting such a nice cab out
