I had my tub hauled off for $55, and it was pretty easy. My car had no suspension at all and we loaded it on a flatbed with my engine crane holding up the front end. However I have had little luck selling the remaining parts. You are in a better location for that though.

Good luck,
-Joel.

Matt,
Thanks for the offer but I realized I can't get a white gauge face for the 180 mph to match my other faces.

No problem - Drivers side door is still intact, and has not been spoken for yet, so I dont really have a problem pulling that, as long as its not to hard to get apart, or there is some good directions somewhere!

Not a problem, thanks for the interest on it.

Thanks for that info - I will definatly be in need of getting the tub towed off now. I will have to check into that. Did you sell it to a metal recyler or something? Or just a junk yard? I am sure someone would buy the tub just for the metal - but maybe not... I am not really sure.

No rotors at all. And I think I might have already sold the rear wheel hubs, sorry!

First I just called a towing company, they told me they'd tow it to a recycler and charge me for a hookup and mileage (worked out to about $100.) So I found a towing company located near a junkyard/recycler (closest one to me) and made a deal on a slow morning when they did not have anything else to do. No one was willing to get it just for the scrap value around here, maybe because they had to drive 10 miles to pick it up.

I supported the back of the car with jackstands and the front with my engine crane. They put the flatbed under the gas tank area and lifted it off the jackstands, then winched it onto the flatbed. When it was 2/3 on the truck I unhooked the engine crane and that was that. Took 10 minues and they did not scratch my garage floor. Before they arrived I used a couple of floor jacks to scoot the shell to the center of my garage so there was more room to get the flatbed in. It was pretty easy.

-Joel.

Not real sure what your talking about - But I would guess its still there. And as far as I know, it was working before the car started to be dissasembled.

IIRC we hauled our tubs on a flatbed trailer to a junkyard, and actually got a few bucks for the weight of the metal. 3 of us picked up the tub once it was stripped and lifted it onto the trailer, not too heavy.
