I checked the local metal recycling yard and was told they didn't deal with car shells but told me a local salvage yard would probably take it. I loaded my shell onto my trailer and basically gave the shell to a salvage yard along with all the junk parts loaded inside it. 
The seats were the only parts I was able to sell since there isn't a big market for Cobalt parts in the Dodge City area. 
I was able to use a bunch of the trim out of the donor to finish up a 2008 Cobalt LS I originally got as a donor but since it was so nice, I decided to sell it.
Had I still lived in the Wichita, KS area, I would have had several options to get rid of the shell AND be paid for it! I just didn't want to drag the shell ~ 2 hours + on two lane roads just to make a couple of $$ (which would have been eaten up by the gas used!)

Wait, you guys don't just stack them up behind your buildings like we do?
These are the 6 shells left over from the following builds:
Also behind the buildings are other future donors (the red Cobalt in the background that is considerably shorter than the others is actually the shell from my dad's LSJ donor):

Would you ever consider selling any part off that red SS/TC to the left?
I'm looking at maybe the hood, grill, wheels, and front brakes.

And also just want to make sure it can handle 300+hp

I am planning on about 400whp, so I need to beef up my clutch and flywheel. I chose a south bend stage 4 plus flywheel from ZZP and a fidanza flywheel.
For you you could go with the fidanza or ZZP brand flywheel that fits your car, and then if 300whp and 300fb a stage 2 or 3 south bend clutch. All that is about 900 dollars, depending on the clutch.

I just cleaned mine a few days ago. Do yourself a favor and spend $60 or so for a media blaster and some walnut shells. Lesson learned.

Chemtool B-12 and a toothbrush. Took most of the day for soaking and scrubbing.
The chemtool works good, but a blaster would have done a much better and faster job.
