Some think i am gone nuts but I seem to recall a TV show
Where a guy ran a scrap yard and built a space ship to go into space not 100% sure on this but he got it built and it was set in Flirida and all these guys wanted him closed down this would have been 1980s tv by the way

SALVAGE 1 1979
Harry runs a salvage operation, in which he and his partners reclaim trash and junk and sell it as scrap (or as other things). Harry also has a home-made spaceship which he sometimes uses to reclaim junk satellites.

You're thinking of Salvage 1, Andy Griffith's series from 1979, and I think it ran for only the one season. In hindsight, I suspect that much could have been done with the original idea, but the producers tried to do everything on the cheap and it showed.

There are some paper model plans of the Vulture by Patrick D. York released back in 2005. Don't remember where it came from exactly, but consists of 8 pdf pages with parts and illustrations.

I thing I remember about the show is he bought a Nieport 28, shot the seat and sold it to a guy as WWI artifact, and then sold the engine to another guy........he scrapped the rest. Almost didn't watch the show (movie pilot) because of that.

I remember that show! It should have been set in my home town of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, where we were all so cheap that we'd recycle anything, and if you couldn't buy it wholesale, it was not worth buying!!

ok we found out about that TV series now how about "Jake and the Fatman" I used to do a great impression of the guy who played the part of the fatman used even in the early days of VCRs found out could record over and i used to have a damn laugh changing the script. Oh what fun i would have on youtube and with corel video studuo today if i was up to it with videos. Was that a white Ford cosworth escort convertible that Jake drove on Jake and the Fatman.
