No - it means learn to fabricate and modify.

I'm a decent fabricator. I'm not scared to do it.

My time? Well I make about $9 an hour at my job... I do think I can be worth more than that in the right position.

Right now, nothing fits the truck AND engine together, how I want it too. So that only leaves modification.
