Default Re: Tyler's 1971 Chevelle Restoration

Have Tyler call me any time if this is what he wants to do. I would be happy to talk to him as this is what I have been doing all my life and I too went to Vocational School to learn how.

Restoring cars full time (no insurance work or late models) is purely a labor of love and you will not get rich by any means as long as you are an honest person and don't build junk. However, I love what I do and can work as little or as much as I want and the rewards are very hard to surpass. Every customer I have is now a close personal friend and that is hard to say in many other businesses.

We definitely need to have some younger people in this hobby so it would be nice to see Tyler do what he loves to do as long as he knows the whole story. My parents always told me I would not make a lot of money doing this and they were right. On the other hand, the only people that are happy with their jobs are those that love doing what they do. It is not always about the money.
