Being a car guys sucks sometimes

& then getting married in a month & a 1/2

there is too much to type, but bascially, i'm going crazy, stressing out, want to build cars, but i got to worry about saving for a house, paying for the honeymoon, etc etc, i dunno, random rambling, stressing out at work, & i'm getting sick of working on Camaro's...like non-stop everybody wants a stainless exhaust on their camaro...like get something different, everyone has a camaro...also on top of that, these are high-dollar cars, that makes me want to keep my malibu's & build one decent one (one is my "baby" & i smacked a curb in it last year & tweaked the frame, the other is just a twin i bought a few years ago), but then i want to wait when i have kids & build the Malibu of my dreams with them...so i want to get another '94 or '95 caravan to build (yes, i'm serious, i love mopar 3.3s) but then its like i don't really have the money

then my little tercel i'm working on...doing suspension work & its worring me & mileage went from 41-42mpg to 34-35 with the bigger tires & bad alignment (hopefully getting fixed today) i dunno i'm just going crazy

/ end vent

im the same way. Have a baby on the way, girlfriend's accord with a bad tranny, my rabbit aka "cool runnings" is old and cant carry a child in the back, staring a new job in the next 2 weeks, worrying about money, houses, kids.... well good luck to ya!

yeah, sounds like the same exact kind of stress i'm in...sometimes i just want to roll over & give up (building cars)

In a word: Patience.

Yes, it sucks royally.

But seriously, plan now - the future will come.

Meh. I wouldn't be upset about all the people wanting stainless exhaust on their Cameros, I mean, it's money in your pocket, right?

Congratulations

yeah its money, but the 2nd to last one was a royal PITA cuz it was back-half'ed...with a track bar & his front driveshaft loop was in the way...the plan was to do an x-pipe...that went out the window after the 3rd try & he got a h-pipe instead

thats a '70...with 335 tires out back...i'm doing a '69 right now...which is a walk in a park compared to the '70 & this one is a convertible, BBC/4spd car, its actually pretty much done other then some welding & 2 more hangers

So boobu... you pimping out your bender yet?

I am certain there are a few folk around here that might like to abuse your services.

You do charge by the hour, right? Let 'em bring that funky E36 M3 that takes forever, just let them know up front that it's going tol be a pain ...er I mean take a while to do.

we got 3 mandrel benders in house

check out our website...all but like 3 or 4 of cars in the gallery is my work, the others are from a previous guy...who was ok, but i'm better
