Looking for a way to combine my job with my love of cars, any ideas?

Personally I think you would have to add an "s" to shop and magazine both to make any kind of a living from it.

I don't see either one needing a full time designer, but maybe some of the auction places would.
Possibly even some of the online automotive parts retailers.

Yeah, I'm kind of looking for a full time gig, freelance is never good for me.

I was thinking of trying to ride the fame of one of those Discovery shows like Vegas Rat Rod or Fast and Loud.

But I'm sure they already have a fully staffed team.
