What have you done to your square lately??

Prices arent crap right now. I got $9.25 for 23 lbs of beer cans today.

In Michigan, at 10c apiece your 23 lbs of cans are worth $78.20

nothing meant but is there a reason why the top center bar isn't level with the rest? Sorry if I missed a previous post that said so. For me, otherwise it kicks ass. Wish I had those welding skills.

I think the only advantage in this case would be being able to see the bar to gauge how close to something the front end is plus another couple inches to keep something (like deer) from coming up over the hood that's why I made it kinda flat instead of angled back and angled the sides to kind of deflect off to the side if you want to see more/sooner YouTube is where I post first/fastest

Something like this little 45° gussets

"If it were mine", please disregard if you don't like, but I'm OCD and would angle the caps/gussets the same angle as the a-pillar looking from the front...so they would match. I also like how it looks without the oem bumper.

Wish I could weld and try stuff like this though. Nice work!

Thanks those were just some scrap 45 cuts I was thinking the same it will be a twisted 45 so it lines up with both the top and side

Do you remember when Kramer and Newman loaded the Mail truck with cans and drove to Michigan to cash them in ?

Lol, no. I never really watched seinfeld. But we do have a guy that works for fedex and he loads his work van and brings them in.

@Turbo4whl thanks again for the suggestion. Drilled but still quite wouldn’t budge- a little propane torch action and popped right out.

I got a few more bars to figure out then I'll break out the generator and welder weather permitting everything I cleaned up yesterday flash rusted overnight in the misty fog we got here

It came in a scrapped car and was a dual post with good amps so i snagged it lol. Weight to money is crap for batteries right now. I believe 13 cents/lb...

I used to haul all my junk batteries to a place in Columbus, they paid pretty good. I don't recall how much, but ballpark math works out to nearly $0.30 a pound. It was a nice little chunk of change when I was usually hauling in 500-800 lbs of batteries.

Interestingly, the scrap yard down near our new house just pays a flat rate for batteries. A few weeks ago, it was $5 per car battery.

Our scrap yard here gives $15-20 a battery bout the same as they pay at the auto parts store.
