how do you do it

twayne, Like Henioutlaw I had much more time to work on vehicles when I was your age. To get women, I had to have a car, and to have a car I had to work!! At 13 years old I washed dishes in a restaurant, at 15 years old I worked at the restaurant and also pumped gas (yes, back then there were people who pumped gas into your car!) and helped the owner around the garage. My first car was a 1972 Duster. After graduating high school, I worked in a machine shop running a turret lathe. Then me and my buddies got into four wheel drives, and like Hemioutlaw, worked on it in a barn until the wee hours in the morning. After being laid off from the machines shop I joined the Air Force and, for too many years, didn't have a project vehicle. About 5 years ago I started my search for a 66 Barracuda and finally found one last June. I'm retired from the Air Force but that doesn't pay all the bills so I was a manager for a financial company marketing to the military...and was laid off a year ago, so now I'm self-employed as a Real Estate Agent. Since I work most nights and weekends, I end up getting up in the morning to work on my car.

Hang in there, it sounds like you have some vision. With your positive attitude, things will go your way. Enjoy life, have fun, and get greasy working on your Swinger any time you can!!
