Find your car title — Before you can scrap your car, you’ll need to find your car title. No salvage yard will take your car without one that you’ll sign over to them. If your title is missing, you’ll need to contact your DMV to issue a new one. Fill out the proper forms and pay the fee.

So where can you find salvage WWII vehicles? I doubt you will be able to go to your local junk yard and find a old WWII vehicle. These trucks and cars are most certainly long gone. The junk yards are able to get too much of a payoff from these metals to have them just sit around. No, I bet the best place to find these vehicles are in private yards.

Donating items that still may have some value is a great way to keep it out of the landfill and help your community. If you do a little research you should be able to find a local church or a reputable charitable organization. I enjoy donating to a church in my area because I know that the items will go to help someone who really needs it. If that is not incentive enough for you then be sure to take into consideration that you will receive a tax break on anything you donate. Any break from the tax man is a good break.
The discount auto accessories industry is very competitive and there is a healthy secondary market. You can check out the local salvage yard or auto parts shop but if you need something major like a radiator, there are entire networks of salvage yards and garages that you can post what you need and they will find it for you. Then you can decide on the best deal and then the part is delivered to your door. In most cases, it is at least as cheap as having to find and remove the part yourself at some obscure salvage yard and not have the right tools. It’s a lot less messy and the part is torn up before you get it.
If your car is old then there are many more sources where you can look for the parts. The older vehicle also accepts different kinds of accessories, without hampering the performance of the engine.

Many individuals will search several junk yards before they find the part they need, but it beats having to order a part that is no longer made. The price difference is considerable and the ease of acquiring the part is significant.
Saturday was a big day. We got up early and started with the Pancake Breakfast at the dealership. The pancakes and the sausage were yummy! Then we attended the first chapter meeting of the year held upstairs in the dealership. There were a lot of people at the meeting. At the end of the meeting a man named Paul made an announcement about the ride planned for the afternoon. I wasn’t thinking it was a particularly good day to go on a ride. Just riding to the dealership earlier that morning was very cold. Too cold. Brrrrr!
