Hello Stan,
Thanks for getting in touch. Since I am based in the UK I don't really know what to say. Many scrap yards here don't sell back to the public either and it takes a little sweet talking. As long as you say it is for a hobby, they might be ok to help you out. The other thing I would advise is to maybe start a thread on this forum and ask the same question. I am sure someone here who lives in Florida might be able to steer you in the right direction. I would guess if you headed away from the big cities in more rural areas you might be lucky. Anyway, I wish you very much luck with all of it. And stay healthy and safe in these crazy times. Nick
