Digging the ratrod look

Man I fall into alot of those categories. Haha I took my car apart 16 years ago to "restore" it I hoarded parts for 14 years and acquired alot of tools and knowledge in the last two that I have been working on it on the weekends when I have the time. Lol no garage no help just me my dog and some good music. Haha I'd say I fall mostly into the first one tho this car has alot of sentimental value to me and I just want to get it back on the road and drive it again

Used to could, can't hardly any more!!!
Get' er done!
May favorite. " I don't want to hear the labor pains, I just want to hold the baby"!!!! lol

To both of you.
I spent a good 45-50 years doing mechanical work, then 40 of that professionally.
Bought all the coolest tools off the trucks and craploads of Craftsman stuff from Sears.
Service manager for Goodyear in Santa Barbara after being certified ASE and ATRA with bumper to bumper driveability certs including 4x4 and even RV.
Service manager and trans builder at the same time (only one paycheck though) for Aamco in CA. specializing in front and rear drive stick shifts, Allison, Mercedes, BMW, and VW automatics.
Moved to AZ with 4 kids and went to work for the best local shop in the area for a year and said "SCREW THIS" so 20 years ago I started training at an Internet Service provider learning everything involved in that business.
2 years later I opened my own computer service business, and this virus crap is going to help kill that.

Nowdays, I use plain old hand tools, no air tools at all and having more relaxing enjoyable fun in my life than ever.

Just last night my Wife Stephanie asked if I was bummed because my new Gopro 8 wasn't here yet for my Youtube channel stuff, and I said "hell no, I have a beautiful Wife that loves me, I don't have to work for a living any more, and I get to drive a classic muscle car every day":D

Really, who could ask for more.
