    What are you working on today?

    Very nice. They cleaned up and polished well. After I finished with the garage I washed both of my trucks. A good day, but just not enough time.

    What are you working on today?

    Can't wait to see how the wheels turn out. I am cleaning the second garage to make more space for the new Jr Dragster (now have 2) and my tool box. Started a new career and will be bringing my box home next week and have no space to put it. Should make for a long day.

    Need serious help with my pricing!

    Damn, that's cheap. If you ever get to Colorado, look me up, you can do my vehicles. In all seriousness, even the fly by wash and go places here charge $125 for an exterior detail to start. Most of the dealerships that I worked for work $150 - $200 for an exterior detail including wash (through...

    Help ME pick my next car

    I heard ads everyday on the radio from finance companies that are advertising that the credit is still available. I bought my house 7 years ago with the wife but wish I was smarter and purchased one when I was younger. Just think of the equity I would have (dreaming). I was too busy buying toys...

    I would like to change my vote please. I would like to vote for the house too. Great advice by So.Cal, especially now with the market being what it is. You should be able to get into something for a good price considering the market. Good luck with whatever you decide.

    I liked them all. My Cuda and Road Runner both had 340s. My Chevelle had a big block and there is no comparison. I won't put a small block in any muscle car I have. Big blocks are too much fun. My cousin had a 71 Cuda in high school. 340 4 speed car, it was dark brown and had a factory luggage...

    Help ME pick my next car

    If you are considering a muscle car, the best place to start is look for your local car clubs. Mopar or Cuda clubs, chevelle clubs, etc. Those people always have a hookup and know people who are interested in selling their car to get on to the next project or whatever. I have had a 69 Cuda, a...

    What do you all think of my Website / Business Card?

    I agree with most of the opinions given. Being as I am not a detailer (Auto Technician) I also agree that you need more pics on the website. Also, the 3 click rule is in effect for any website. If a consumer can't get the information they seek within three clicks, they will leave. For now...

    Help ME pick my next car

    If you want a "weekend fun" car, have you considered a 60s-70s muscle car? You can pick up a very nice ride for your price range. Just an idea. If not, may I throw in the Mitsu Lancer Evo??? It is different, quick, low maintenance and a lot of fun. I have a regular customer that brings his in...

    Help ME pick my next car

    It is a heavier car and all heavier cars are hard on the suspension. Struts and springs can be upgraded with better components and a strut tower brace makes a big difference as well. If you want it to handle better, a 1" to 2" drop helps quite a bit. Also good tires are worth their weight in...

    Help ME pick my next car

    Since I am of a different nature, I will go against the grain and say get the GTO. You see Vettes and Mustangs everywhere. Always nice to be different. Spent most of my life as a GM tech and didn't see many problems with the GTOs. Should be able to get an 06 with the 6.0 for around $20,000 or...

    Thank you. It is a lot of fun. Have a few other pics with the tires off of the ground, even at this altitude.

    That will work. My boss and I just started doing that. We buy cheap, fix the necessary items and let them go. A few were from private owners and a couple have been from the auction. Not a lot of money but a little adds up after a while.

    Yes I do race at Bandimere, as does my son. He is in his second year running a Jr dragster. I used to live off of Mississippi and could hear the races. Cougar Guy: $800+ ??? Did you buy a business??? Maybe you can pimp yourself out and make that money back detailing other peoples vehicles!!!

    Thanks for the information and the links, they will help tremendously. I am in Castle Rock. Love living in CO. Actually my 70 1/2 was an original RS Z/28, now it looks like this, a little different, but similar.

    Thanks. That is my biggest "fear". Getting addicted with all of the vehicles that we have is definitely take time but it will be worth it in the end. The black is the one that has me the most concerned. It needs a lot of work. Former work truck, I am assuming a cable installer from the little...
