I dont see many custom shops anymore doing old restos and exotics. Seems like they are starting to shut down around here. I remember in California there were heaps of them and if I needed something I would take a 30-45 minute drive and find anything I needed. Over here it's different. How are you doing with business? I am guessing good enough if your still going right?
I have 2 jobs, 1st is whatever she wants me to be, painter, plumber, electrician, tile guy, plasterer, or mechanic.
2nd is Service Operations Manager for a HVAC/DDC contractor. I listen to all of the complaints/troubleshoot/repair/estimate/mechanical design/graphic design/programmer.... all of which makes me eat too much, drink too much, complain too much, take high blood pressure medicine, and gave me sleep apnea........... Isn't life wondeful...... thank goodness for hotrods!
At age 13 I started working in a hardware store (25 cents an hour!) and never looked back. I've driven trailer trucks, managed a Beneficial Finance office, worked for American Motors, ran the largest Performance Warehouse in New England (69-78) worked as a manufacturers rep for most of the biggies in the performance aftermarket, was the first guy to reproduce the Corvette knock-off wheels (1977), designed and brought to market an aftermarket block for Pontiacs (made 2806 HP w/ a pair of turbos and FI) znd for fun threw together my Seville. Currently building a higher HP engine.
