Ok guys I have yet to make a video for this but I will. It is just an idea and I know there has to already be competition for this business. Here in Ohio and other eastern states we have snow…. duh! When we get snow salt gets put on the ground. This salt tears up are cars and trucks and turns them into rust buckets. (The end of my muffler is being held up by a metal hanger.)
I’ve heard from my family in Arizona that there are vintage cars and trucks sitting in junk yards that are clean and free of rust. So when someone in Ohio wants a nice truck like a 1975 Bronco they end up with a rust bucket because of the salt.
If you guys could somehow get parts from junk yards that collectors would want, you could sell them via eBay to people like us with rusty vehicles. Now I know the idea of shipping a side panel sound frightening, but maybe you could figure out parts that are smaller and fit into flat rate boxes.
Now I really don’t know much about car or truck parts but I’m sure you could do a Google search and find many Easterns ranting on forums about how terrible salt is on the collectible cars.
This is just an idea, that I haven’t tried at all. But I think it might work some way. I mean even parts of my interior floor where the seats are attached get rusty from my shoes having salt.
Update 5/28/2015: Ford Broncos are really collectible. Some companies are creating brand new body kits just for people to get a Bronco look. So if you come across any parts for them be sure to pick them up. Even the older Ford Mustang uses a lot of the same parts as Broncos.
