Re: Mining dump trucks.
Not to get too off topic, but props for any shoot are a one time use thing, unless it's for a series or has some practical application in the real world. A small SFX shop I used to work for used to keep all of their props, even though they barely had enough room to store them.
For something like the ATV from Damnation Ally, I mean if you put it on tour to promote the film, then that's one use, but beyond that, unless you put it in a museum with lots of other props, it's best to unfortunately just scrap it.
Me, I hate to see good props like that go the junk yard, because they do have a kind of "Hey, it runs" appeal. But, it was never really meant to have a life beyond the movie. I hope that can keep it around for a while.
