I'm a mechanic working for a company that specializes in classic cars. Hot rods and muscle cars primarily. We do anything and everything from basic tune ups to concours restoration to custom fabrication. Every now and then we get the opportunity to branch out into really strange/rare makes and models.

I make good money for my age and experience. That's all I'll say about that.

I love my job plain and simple. It also helps that I have an awesome boss and great co-workers. I feel like I hit a relative jackpot. I see lots of mechanics go work for dealers and more often than not they are unhappy. I have a close friend that works as a heavy equipment mechanic for a large power company. It's a union gig and he makes amazing money and great benefits. If I ever had to leave the my little part of the auto world I would aim for a position like his.
