What do you do to make your coin to build on your Mopar. Oh and feed you family and pay bills and stuff! Almost forgot about that part.
Here's mine,,,, Heavy Duty truck and equipment recovery, been in it since I came back from Desert Storm. Go big or go home!

what's YOUR game!
 
I currently detail cars for a few dealerships. I worked at a small body shop for a few years doing a lot of resto work. Hope to get back in to it someday.
 
I have two jobs
1. Work at a Chrysler dealership as a Paint/Body Tech
2. Been restoring muscle cars for 23 years

I do whatever the mood hits me when I wake up in the mornings, that truck recovery is fun.. I was doing construction work on I-40 once, about a mile down the road a huge box truck got sideways and hung up on an interstate bridge guardrail, totally stopped the whole side of the interstate traffic, a NC state trooper asked me if I'd take my Cat 318 rubber tired track hoe down there and get the truck off the guardrail, hell yeah--- wheres he at??? The truck driver was screaming "don't hurt my truck" and the state trooper was screaming "F-that truck get the G-D truck off the guardrail"!!! I bet interstate traffic was backed up 20 miles.. "GOOD-TIMES"!!!

Well it looks like just driving the trucks is not very safe either.

actually the "regular" tows are more dangerous as you have to try not to get struck by a car!! Normally the wrecks are in a controlled environment so traffic's not a problem.
