340 Manifolds, Reproduction, Any interest?
oldcarnut, yea about 30, dont remember anymore. Started first garage/speed shop in 1988 but have been professional tech since 1983(figure getting a pay check made it professional). Worked on lots of pit crews and race teams before that when I was younger and could stay up for 3 days straight doing repairs in pits...and didnt mind living out of a suitcase!
Been watching the parts world get turned upside down to where there is no money in it thanks to the big 3. Watched all the speed shops die a slow death, then the truck /jeep market. Only way to ever make a $ anymore is producing something that is small enough sales that chineese are not interested in making like wire harnesses and headers...
If I had half a brain I would have been a banker or real estate agent and made enough to pay people to build my **** while I sit by pool and sip drinks.
Thats the problem with addiction, keeps you from making money and ultimately drags you down into poverty....if only I could kick my Mopar habit and get my life together. I have now almost gotten back to just being a recreational Mopar user, only have 6 cars now, 64, 65, 65 4 door, 67 gt vert, 68 valiant, 69 dart ht and 74 sport...oops slipping again, thats 7! Better get my *** to a MA meeting asap.
