RE: Paint Guns/Ollie's Ramblings

[Jeff Adams <ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My philosophy is to do everything myself...if I don't know how, I learn. 
I figure I will be doing more cars in the future, so I might as well do 
it all myself. I buy cars on the side to fix and sell to support my 
Mopar addiction so I don't have to take money from the running money. I 
know my wife appreciates that...she doesn't want to hear the deatils 
(gets that deer-in-the-headlights glaze).
