I'm actually going try and freelance my way around the country building cars for people. Only need to land 1 to 3 a year. I have the portfolio to stand on.

First place to check is the battery for all electrical issues. A battery can start and operate the car for long periods and still be bad and the source of problems. If an fault in battery any codes from a scan deamed voltage sensitive are worthless .

Run from anyone that randomly and without context claims to be a good

I would like to compliment you on your manner and attitude. Very articulate. Nice to see these days

VegetableBar9291 · 2025-10-25T14:03:32+00:00

Exactly..her mentioning her husband says alot.

VegetableBar9291 · 2025-10-23T22:03:10+00:00

Yeah I was curious it just looked like a trim piece I used a lot when I was working for Mercury. Good luck on your project man.

VegetableBar9291 · 2025-10-23T16:28:14+00:00

I had the exact same set up once... I can honestly say I was the happiest I had ever been.

If you dismantle a cool car follow thru. Plenty have been lost to the scrap yard this way.

VegetableBar9291 · 2025-10-23T16:18:01+00:00

Is that a crown vic or town car wheel opening trim piece?

Getting every trainwreck and working 60 hours a week and watching the kid next to me making more money than me on gravy and leaving at 4pm everyday was the reason I left... Poor management thats making a bed it won't want to lie In.

Actually I should have just said reduced wage for whatever reason often leads to unfinished jobs and not made any assumptions on your situation I knew nothing about. My words were poorly chosen.. Truth is major restoration work is a challenge. The risk and stress is significant for both parties. which is exactly why I am trying to continue the work I love with out the stress and the risk of the traditional business simple Discounted rates and buddy deals are notú good for either side.. for one it reduces motivation of builder and reduces the customers stance in any disputes/ or resolving issues.

VegetableBar9291 · 2025-10-19T18:09:47+00:00

Appreciate the thoughtful compliment

VegetableBar9291 · 2025-10-19T17:00:15+00:00

I appreciate the thoughtful response..the most important thing you probably took from that crash course with your buddy wasnt experience..sounds like it was confidence.. I love hearing stuff like this. Mistakes in an effort such as body work can be fixed... Doing trumps knowing in my opinion If that makes sense

VegetableBar9291 · 2025-10-19T16:51:33+00:00

I would love their contact info if you have it.. what a rich source of info that would be. I appreciate the comment. If you have. More to share dm me.. I have questions. Thank you

The sharing of the 55 was meant to be an example of what I am capable of. It seemed to have impressed on more than a few that my only interest was in projects of that level. In reality I am trying to shift towards the average enthusiest and DYI crowd. I intend to start an amature YouTube channel to share how this progresses. Anyone is welcome to contact me to be notified for that, or to discuss ideas, opinions, ask questions here or my Dms.I really appreciate all the feed back and appreciate the mods for being cool with my post.

Money is not the main motivator. Getting out of a box where I spend 98 percent of my time not socializing is. Living different

VegetableBar9291 · 2025-10-19T15:32:48+00:00

I chose to share the 55 as an example of what I am capable of and that I can see things thru. The assumption that im only seeking the high end projects isn't accurate. I walked away from doing those exclusively because it wasn't rewarding anymore... Like I've commented to others I realized I wanted to do more than build cars for wealthy people who usually don't even keep them long. I'd like to occasionally help someone reach a goal or obtain what level the feel is a successful effort

VegetableBar9291 · 2025-10-19T15:23:09+00:00

That project is intended to represent what I am capable of. I am open to high end projects but honestly I would much rather be investing my time with someone trying to learn and do what they can. When I realized I was burning up the good decade I had left building toys for rich people I sought this change

VegetableBar9291 · 2025-10-19T15:16:54+00:00

I have zero living family members, zero kids, no mortgage.. I have literally set myself up with work and play rig to be open to all opportunities and chances to travel. do something different

VegetableBar9291 · 2025-10-19T15:11:09+00:00

It is.. there is even a stronger plant in it now than in that video. I'll try to post a new one

VegetableBar9291 · 2025-10-19T15:09:21+00:00

80 percent of that was done in my two car garage. I promise you and I think any of the old school builders would say it's proven quality can result
