scrap metal value, I wish I had a semi, scrap is way high right now, and I bet there is some pricey alloys there.

Tech_Junkie · 03-10-2010, 01:54 AM

Scrap!!! You could throw that thing on a back of a pick up and be the rage at a redneck hoedown. LOL

photonaholic · 03-10-2010, 02:04 AM

With the value of several tons of rare alloys, I could buy grave digger and still be the life of the party.

Tech_Junkie · 03-10-2010, 02:12 AM

So lets go get it LOL.

I'm sure there is a line of rednecks. How can you pass that up if you have the money, or rig to move it.

HaloBlu · 03-10-2010, 04:54 AM

Yea, to hell with scrap!
One is going on my rig for those times when you run out of chips 30sec before the end of half time. A 2nd one will make one sweeett BBQ. Might have to suspend the ribs a couple hundred feet above the nozzle but I'm sure I can deal with minor details like that. Everyone Will be invited! Bring your lasers, easy way to cook up pigs in a blanket.

As for the space shuttle main engines, those are now free. NASA advertised them in December 2008 for $400,000 to $800,000 each, but no one expressed interest. So now the engines are available, along with other shuttle artifacts, for the cost of transportation and handling.

Assembly will be required, however.

Dayum, I was just about to hop in my rig!

Any current/former Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne employees here in lpf land or anyone at all with experience in large liquid-fuel rocket engines?
Also could use someone with a 3.5 ton crane.

Flaminpyro · 03-10-2010, 05:14 AM

I'm going to make a theam park out of my shuttle motor and charge to see it and fire it up, yep there will be a fuel tank attached for thoes who want there meat cooked

photonaholic · 03-10-2010, 05:19 AM

anyone want to bet me a scrapper takes them??

A professional scrap operator already has the trucks, it's free money, and a lot of it.

Oh come now Pyro.... I think we all know you'll fire it up even if no one came or paid you.

Yea.... I for one aint gonna take that bet.
I'm sure they are already on the way there & I haven't even located a cheap crane yet.

I wish I lived in america or owned a very very very big ass plane to fly it over here.

Hello new house

I've seen the second one shockwave, but this one is my favorite.
Until you see it in person you have no idea the awsomeness.

Set the track on fire at over 200 mph

*edit* I will be going on a father/son weekend at Gainesville in FL to see the NHRA gatornationals... no hate

Asherz · 03-10-2010, 11:09 AM

What could be better than huge shiny trucks spitting fire?
