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

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

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.

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.

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