(QUOTE) "I've been doing this Hot Rod stuff for 40+ years and I still do it cuz it's fun.....Guess I'll never be pro if it's got to be all about the money!!!!! Oh well, I still enjoy my ametuer status!!! When it quits being fun guess I'll just have to go get a real job!!!!!! Dave Severson" (QUOTE)

Dave, It was more fun when it was a hobby, but It still beats working at something you hate! I gave up all of my chances at a retirement...insurance...paid holidays...and security, to do this instead. For me, It's about the enjoyment first, but there has to be enough money to eat and keep the electricity on...so some jobs are "respectfully" turned down for the simple reasons that (A) I can't stay in business at those rates...or (B) there isn't enough to do the job well,.....and of course, (C)"I don't do collision....sponsorships....or quick favors". :-)
