If you're going to ignore me, stop sending me private messages.
Not sure if I am allowed to ask this on the forums, but i want to make about $100/week extra part-time for a couple of years to get my project car painted.
The money needed is not to come from current earnings or out of the budget of any current projects.
Any ideas?
I was thinking bartending a couple of nights a week if my boss at the FT job will allow it.
She's a real beaut Clark...
Trade the ugly wagon in for something that gets better gas millage and pocket the extra $.
My awesome wagon will be awesome.
Also: anyone have any tips on making extra money? (comments on the wagon are funny, but not relevant)
This thread isn't about your 'opinion' of my ride. It should be about what you think is a good way to get some extra cash.
Turns out that I talked to my boss and he is giving me a $7K/year raise.
I understand that many people are not able to appreciate an iconic piece of American history, and therefore I feel that I am forced to expound:
1) stationwagons are a part of an american cultural heritage that has disappeared.
2) station wagons drive like a car but combine the best aspects of sedans and trucks.
3) my particular wagon has power seats, windows, steering, and a lot of other amenities offered in contemporary SUVs
4) all of the interior has been upgraded to provide 6 speaker surround sound, an overhead DVD player, and in-dash GPS, as well as IPod/flash drive/USB interface
5) one-0f-a-kind: even in the condition this vehicle is in, i get more stories and anecdotes and positive interaction than i do from my 93 corvette
6) stationswagons >>>>>> SUVs
7) my 76 Ford was built by Americans for Americans
8) I can smoke the tires off of the stoplight and out-tow and out-drag 95% of current SUVs and Trucks with my engine/tranny combo
9) HA! its a flippin station wagon -- 100x better than a minivan
10) relax -- have a homebrew
thread is not about cars -- it is about me making more money. Turns out that asking my boss for $7K ended up working out.
For that kind of money, I would seriously consider buying the equipment you need and some old junk cars for a couple hundred bucks to practice on. You could even recoup the money you spent on the tools by doing some paint jobs on the side.
Painting a car is 90% body prep, 10% painting.
Search several classic car forums, most have at least 1 or 2 guys who have built the full garage paint booth. And there are several places that sell the tools/equipment online as well.
