Found a tempting job...

It would be a cool job. I couldn't pay my mortgage on that salary though.
I was at my buddy's shop yesterday and they have an old T-bird of some sort (1960 something) and apparently there is no one reproducing parts for that car. My buddy has a guy that works for him that is awesome with a welder (mad skills kind of like J) so they are making most of the quarter panel from scratch. It was kind of cool to look at.
I've got my TA over there right now. They are putting in all the A/C pieces for me and charging the system, etc....I want to be ready when the hot weather comes along here soon. I could have bolted all the crap in myself but it's only $50 or so to get them to do it and I can't charge the system with R12 at home so I just got them to do all of it for lack of time

The commute should be no problem. According to the ad "Telecommuting is ok." So, just sit at home and do the work over the computer!!

for giggles I called.
He said main thing the person has to have a drivers license because they will be lots of driving around. :wtf
He said he has to go to Hunstsville this afternoon, but I can come in tomorrow and fill out and application/interiew. He sounded hesitant though when talking to me.

Computer work on designing parts and ideas is part of the building job.....not just thinking it up and producing it.
I just feel you are selling yourself short by having the attitude that you are female and they won't want to hire you. You are rebuilding your own classic, you have some good computer skills and are using them locally, you are available now..... Many places start out in a giant shed......look at the one that burnt recently.......looks do not mean anything about the product coming from the shop.

My local buddy has done some amazing things to every kind of car you can think of. But to look at his shop you'd think :wtf
My buddy was an executive type that worked on cars as a hobby but he got tired of the rat race of the corporate world. He charges less then a lot of other places but it's because he runs a smart business.
Some idiots go out and get a huge new shop and then wonder why they can't cover their overhead.
Part of my friend's business model is to keep the shop with no frills and have only what you need to get the job done even if it isn't the prettiest place to keep the overhead low. He builds a better car then any of the guys that start their business by going out and building a 10,000 sq foot facility.
He's stayed plenty busy even the last couple of years through the economic down turn and I've seen them turn out some really nice custom work, full restorations, etc, etc.
