ABodyBetty's new baby comes home!!!
Looks Great!! I saw a thread that you were selling it. Why????
What else, money!! :cheers:
Have some other irons in the fire too. I have 2 different people who have heated garages at their places to have me take the "mobile" body shop (2 plastic bins full, a welder in the trunk of Fern, and me) to their places as soon as it gets too cold to work here. The other places are 10-20 miles from home, but pay cash as I work and one of the cars is a MG! WOW! I'm foreign repair now too!! LMAO!!:toothy10:
If the junk cars dries up for winter, (has already started, only hauling 1 a week or less now) I'll have to sell all but 2 Darts and the car hauler if that's what it takes to make it to spring.
Don't think I could ever work a real job again even if I could find one. Health kinda iffy from day to day. Can get stuff done but only in 2-4 hour work sessions at a time I can work longer but has to be different projects due to ADD! Besides I would never trust that a real job would still be there tomorrow for me. I've been lied to and crapped on too many times. I like my hours now and enjoy the work and people I meet more than in an office at a printing company. Who am I kidding anyway, I'm too overqulified (OLD) to hire at the 3 interviews I've had in 2 years! Nobody wants a 50 year old middle/upper printing manager around here!!
If I can make it till spring, my business will survive and BOOM next year. Can see signs already at being a good way to live. The money is not in the trip to the junk yard though, it's in the detour home for 2-3 hundred repairs then sell for less than $995.00. Spring would be a boom with the yard clean ups and dead cars from winter. Only 5 months to go and a couple hundred dollars left to do it on.:angry7:
FOTO's tranny repair really put the hurtin on me. It used up all my winter cash stash I'd saved from me and FOTO hustling cars till the tranny went out. The $1500 hurt a little but the 8 weeks down with no car hauling KILLED me!!:angry7:
Got about 4 cars still lined up though in the next 2 weeks so far.:cheers:
Just hauled in a 71 Cheby C-10 Pick up and got a line on a sweet barn fresh 64 Cheby Custom pick up with alot of local history at the race track as a push start truck back in the day. It has all it's original trim with "0" dings too!
All bought for "scrap" junk pricing!
I just get ta worring sometimes. One usually pops up that I can fix and sell right when things look the worst!:cheers:
Sides, can't keep insurance up on em all!8)
Still waiting on Fern's new headliner. Should be here any day. When it arrives we will be full steam ahead on the interior and final trim fitting!!
Fern is becomming ABB's favorite. Clara just pulled in the barn for winter next to Baby!:clock:
All in all it's been a really cool ride though. I love my new carreer!!!
If everything would smooth out, Fern will stay and another will go in her place. We have a 02 Ram van and the 71 chebby for sale right now and as long as the cars trickle through, Fern is safe. But like all the others except Baby and Foto, EVERYTHING is for sale! LOL!!
GOOD TIMES ARE AHEAD!!!!!:cheers: WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!
Got alot of new friends here at FABO too!!!:cheers:
