As a slightly distracting attempt at humour, my FB feed seems to be cluttered with videos of "mechanics" from Karachi and India doing miracle repairs from scrapped oil tanker steel, crude machine tools and lots of arc welding rod splutter. Yeah, I trust their 1/2 diameter bolts made from a length of scrap rebar. To see these guys straighten a bent jingle truck frame, repair cracked engine blocks and rear differential cases, or rebuild 12-v batteries with square hammers, salvaged hand tools and no safety equipment makes me cringe.

But to the question, I would think both Bobs are headed towards the machine shop with CMP parts in one hand, and a UPS shipment box of M35 parts in the other. BTW, there are Canadians selling parts stripped off MLVWs. They seem to buy them by the cubic pallet load off GC Surplus.
