I'm sure this is a common topic of discussion but does anyone have what they think is the best list of what type of steel can be found in a auto junk yard (now called auto recycling centers here in California---Gag!)?

Post a link to your list or any good one you know of.

Thanks in advance

Ted :D

I can't freaking type or proofread.

Coil and leaf spring........good for making punches, chisels, other tools
Brake drums or rotors.......good for making homemade firepots.
Axles.......good for hammers, hardy tools
Hood support rods.........good source of 1/4in. to 1/2 in. round stock for projects.
There's probably more, but that's a start :)

There was an earlier thread on what parts of a vehicle could be useful to a blacksmith.
Auto parts for blacksmithing (junk yard parts)
Lots of ideas there.
