When joe shutdown the gas line my son lost his 6-7 year job of doing on the road fork truck repair. He didn’t want laid off so he got a job at a friends shop building race car chassis (5 dollars less per hour)and any other work needed to build roller race cars (they didn’t do engine or transmission work). After four months roll bar tubing jumped 40% in price and then started getting hard to find. Just a small two man shop, him and the owner he got laid off again when guys started canceling job because of the increased costs. For the next month his help racing friends at their “Big Shot Bobs” chicken wing sandwich shop when they couldn’t find employees. Well living in Pa with me and his girlfriend in Ohio he was driving to Ohio every weekend as she and her father drag race too. Her Dad owns and operates a large automotive repair shop and he worked for them occasionally. I could see the writing on the wall and he made the move last weekend and is now a mechanic. Lol. Never going to school to be a mechanic her Dad liked what he saw in him as far as being mechanical and hired him, found him a temporary place to live, and bought him a Snap-on tool box and some tools. One full week in he likes it. Plans are already shaping up for him to finish his Duster and race it again, instead of racing friends car.
