Most of the time the parts get sold, scrapped or returned to the customer. Sometimes they wind up being put out back or in storage for the every 5 year swap meet trip. Most customers really don't have the space nor interest to take home some of the parts left over.
EX - when we tore apart the LS6 Chevelle I had removed the stock 1.125 master cylinder that we would never put on a project and I knew a young kid that raced at the dirt track that needed one, so with customer approval we gave it to him. The LS6 engine was given to me by the customer and will end up in some basic cruiser kinda car or in an employees project car.
It is only lately been the trend to use really nice painted and completed older resto's to build very nice drivers with LS power and new frames. These kinda cars are fun to drive and just a lot cheaper. We have quite a few of these projects going on, there is no concern to just park the car where ever and have fun with the car without worry.
