I hope you saved the title and vin plate for future LBC's that need pedigree
papers. If any list members out there are wondering how this is accomplished,
and still dispose of the rotting carcass, it is easy. Remove the doors,
hood/bonnnet, and trunk/boot lid. Get out the trusty sawzall and cut from sill
to sill, then stand the front and rear half up on the freshly cut ends, this
allows the rust to run back into the ground. Now take the nose and tail, and
cut them down the centre to put the car into quarters. At this point, most
scrap iron yards will accept the corpse as sheet metal. Save that title for
other cars that are living, yet have no birth certificate. Remember, some of
these illegal aliens need help
getting papers to stay viable in our economy, and on our roads. You MUST help
whenever you can. Bless Boneyard, I hope his rotting corpse has given others
life, so his death was not in vain..................
