I'm Awesome
Probably a combination of lack of buying power and stupid easy access to bolt on parts. I seriously stay awake at night running projects through my messed up brain! Lol
I am currently at a power plant project that 20yrs ago we made $30hr, last summer when I got there for another phase, the wage was $37ish for journeyman. So what, a .30cent raise per year?? Thankfully hardly anyone but locals took the job and everyone got at least a $5hr raise. So that SHOULD be the kick in the pants to build your own stuff, but the kids don't learn that in school anymore. I did 3yrs in automotives. And all the shows as stated earlier make this look easy, and many get discouraged that it's not. It literally takes blood and sweat to do anything but bolt on some farkle. This is why I'm sooooo seriously considering a Hemi swap in my 91. Boy has a crashed 06 ram, I'm a cheap ba$tard, so why not. Rant over.
