only way to fly. To many "rodders" out there that can't do anything but bolt- ons, and if someone doesn't give them the right "combo" they just give up.
I like to do ALL my own work, from designing my own bucket seats to setting up my own cam grind.
I didn't get the skills I have from bolt-on stuff...in fact, when i was growing up it was considered a JOKE to buy fender flairs, or hood scoops- you made them, and if you wanted the respect from the other hot rodders around, you made them from steel, fiberglass would get you a "eh" and their respect was a needed thing if you wanted any advice from them on your progress.
Now I treat most of the young guy's the same way around here, and they respect me for it- because I teach them something that is worth something, the same that was taught to me, that the quality of your workmanship is directly related to the way you see your total self worth.
So, now...will it be cheap & easy, or is it worth more to do it yourself?
