Dumpster diving

So what would be the value of a set of side skirts pulled from a dumpster that fit my challange car. The shop closed down.

It's out in a dumpster. The general public could walk up and grab 'em. My vote would be $0.

I agree.

Are we talking aesthetic value?

Personally, I hate that kind of stuff on a car.

Now we know who put them in the dumpster....

Tim grabbed a stainless muff for his Formula Vee Challenger. Free is free.

Yup-free.

What is worse looking rust holes or side skirts?

I hope you mean muffler.

$0.

But only if the dumpster was outside the gate, and available to the general public.

If you had access to it because of some special arrangement (like you were personal friends of the owner), then FMV.

Yeah, that's a magazine quote nomination.

This makes me think, with various places going out of buisiness I gotta start checking the dumpsters. I got 3 1/4"x3'x6' steel bench tops from the dumpster behind a sporting goods store on my last forray.

There wasent a gate but it was a shop that I used to visit weekly.

no gate = free, unless they wink-wink threw them in the dumpster wink-wink on a day they knew you were coming by.

I'll set the value at the end of build. I am going to be close to the cap in the build.
