Shops open with many projects.

Well, after I finished the diesel I have had lots of people ask me to do stuff for them. I tried to do work out of my home garage but one thing led to another so I have now opened up shop. Got quite a few classics in there to get things going. 72 GTO convertible ground up restoration, 69 convertible mustang for wiring, AC, fuel injection and some other stuff, 74 Duster with a 512 bb that I wired that is back for some metal work, 69 f100 that I did the Heidts front end on coming back for wiring, ac, and what not..... finish up. A 62 unibody that may become an over the top build with either a turbo Coyote or a hemi headed small block ford. And finally another bump in for a cv swap, explorer rear, custom dash, mustang tank, and possibly a Coyote; owner has not decided. Regardless, took about 2 weeks to get everything moved and commence the work. Had my hired hand cut the front suspension out of the f100.

Well now, I think that's Way Cool. Congrats Tim. Glad to see you're "Movin' On Up". With all that work I have faith that you'll still work "At The Speed Of Right". As Baja says.

Doing something you actually love doing is less like getting paid to work and is more like getting paid to play.
