    Yes, certainly a belt or band arrangement, a method also used in stone work. There are a few scattered car chassis cut through on the same basic plane.

    Sure thing, got a VIN?
    Which reminds me to mention a prevalent scam. Someone posts a legitimate ad for a vehicle, priced, pictures, mileage, model number - everything.
    Bulk of responses will be scammers steering you to their 'link' for a VIN report. They've no intention of purchase, just collecting the fee for a phony search. Not to mention some sites provide that free of charge and it appears IN YOUR POST!

    The bulk of the steel would be in the ship's framework, not the cars.
