Rick, I dwell on this daily. I would love to have my own shop and do restores of our beloved Mopars. I also would like nothing more then to race professionally. I'm a realist though and I know I could manage a shop, but would have to have a true mechanic for Engine builds and trannies. A body and paint man. I'm confident in my abilities to take apart and put together, but I would feel very intimidated if a Don D., a Gary H. or an Earl H. walked into my shop. Financial backing is another biggie. Understand, I'm not talking about a million $$$ speed shop or race team. I'm talking about a respected, quality Mopar repair shop to support a Pro Street or similar class car. So for now I sit in my cubicle world and grind my 40-45hrs out a week answering computer Technical questions and support my companies software applications until my student loans are paid and my '64 is done. At that time I will look for that one car that will be my Mile High Mauler...a quarter at a time. At least then I can take my racing effort more serious and with a little more time and patience should be racing. So Rick, you got next weeks Lottery #'s? I apologize for the babbling on.

I wish I did make a living working on these old cars day in and day out. No, alas instead I make a living (if you can call it that) working on late model Dodges. One day I hope to move into restoring and selling parts...that is if I don't make it writing for a car magazine. For right now scrapping by as a line tech for a Dodge dealer makes me a tiny bit to spend on my cars. Rick Rice LOOKING FOR A GOOD JOB! Scratch that, a good career!
