Wow... All I can say is "Wow".....

Thank you G. Very nice of you to say.

You need to consider making parts.

I like projects that require the use of many disciplines. I do make parts and some restoration and custom build work, and do sell them, but I'm pretty selective. Usually it's an interesting project I'd do whether I was getting paid or not. One thing I've learned, once you start doing something for money, and to make a living, it can quickly become work, and when you aren't on the clock, you tend not to take short cuts......it's a good place to be.

Best,
Kelly

You're right about that!! If you're not having fun, then you're doing Retirement wrong...

I have always discovered that its a great thing if you can do what you love and it pays for itself which of course, allows you to do more of it!!

Looking forward to your next project's posts...
