GH i'm a millwright by trade, at least, that is how i make a living. paycheck and all that. i've been doing the fixer upper thing for a lifetime too. it is more of a full time hobby though. i usually get about 6 or 7 hours a day in my shop, then i go to the steady job for 8 hours on second shift. i'm really just playing around though. if i ever have to get serious about the resto thing i will probably not like it. very few people understand what it takes to do this stuff. let alone pay for it. so, i just knock around at it for my own enjoyment.

I know what you mean, a lot times I'm working on mine I think to myself "how do people afford to have a car built" by someone else... A lot of people that don't fab and do their own work would never understand the time involved...

i have gotten to the point now. where i ask one simple question. when it is all said and done, where else can you get a BRAND NEW what ever for this money? most folks understand that. and the best part is that it is paid off when the customer takes delivery! and they really dig that part!!!!!!!
