Around here that would actually be a decent gig, since there are still a lot of these old Ford in the yards....though purchasing the parts would probably be a better idea. ;) The last time I was at the U-Pull-It here, I found three dentside Fords with tilt columns. I'd have paid $20 for each of them there and could've sold them online for 10 times that. As a matter of fact, I'm going to try that for a while starting next summer and see how it pans out. I'm thinking that I could easily make more in a week doing that than I could in a month at my day job...and have a lot more fun! :D
There is somebody already doing that around Charlotte. I don't know where they are selling it but at the pull a part here if an F100 comes in the west cost Jr mirrors, bumper brackets, good steering wheels, door panels and anything else good is gone in a day or two. They also grab the tilt wheels and intermittent wipers off the dents

I work part time as a stage hand at a local Arena. We do Hockey b-ball concerts. Working one tomorrow Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Featuring: Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold with Stone Sour, Halestorm, HELLYEAH Airbourne, Hail the Villain and New Medicine. I think Carri Underwood is next week. It all pays really well for a part time.

Good topic. I have gotten some ideas from the responses for ways to help stimulate our economy. As for me, I work 11 hours a day, 7 days a week in Nigeria building a gas to liquid plant for Chevron 8-12 weeks at a time, then go home for 3 weeks so I don't have much time for earning extra money. But I would like to get into the parts business for these trucks just to help salvage as many parts as possible. We will be starting to lighten the load when I am home next by selling, giving away or discarding things we don't use anymore. A form of recycling I guess it is. As for the male escort thing, it sounds like it would get boring after a while since all of your customers would want the same thing. :P :lol: Sorry for the longwindedness, but this is a good thread. :thup:

I will do just about anything for money. I do auto and heavy equip repair, welding, autobody and paint, but my favorite and probably most profitable is gambling well poker so its a game of skill and not gambling.

I make babies and live off the government! :lol: j/k I buy and sell cars off Craigslist. I always have 3k in hand and look around for something that's 2k or more below blue-book and resell it as is or make minor adjustments. Believe it or not I make most of my side money during tax season. I made over 12k in 3 months from Feb- may. 8)

I thought about doing that! your state doesn't have restrictions on how many cars you can sell a yr before having to have a dealer license?

It does! it is 6 per year. I am at 6 now. lol What i do is i don't sign the title. there are some folks that know the game or want you to sign it right there. So in some cases i will have my wife do it. Which lately she has been because, i am maxed out. I was thinking about a dealers license but, its better in some ways the way i do it. i don't want to get bonded or insured. costs to much for me.
