You might want to look into the value of "a complete rolling Nash
Metropolitan (no-engine)" before you start cutting it into scrap metal.
That's a rare, 40-year-old antique auto you have there and it has its
enthusiasts.
To me, that's like scrapping a complete Bugeye to make a neat gizmo for a
'61 Impala.
