One of my customers wanted a Chevy truck jack powder coated.

That is great though

It sounds like you found something you enjoy, and got time to do, which allows you to fund something you enjoy

That great
True. I do enjoy it, and it has funded my hobby (some would say addiction) for 15 years. When we go to car shows, sometimes the wives get to talking and the subject of how much the husband spends on the car comes up. My wife is always quick to point out that I fund everything myself.
