You have a very good ‘rememory’. :thankyou: |
I am an Electrician. I have worked on mostly large scale commercial and industrial projects in Idaho and Nevada with a stint overseas as well. It has paid for my home expenses and girls going to college for the most part with my overtime going into a general slush fund for fun.
After my divorce last year and my youngest daughter moving out I rented out 2 of the bedrooms in my 4 bedroom home and use that money to pay for Hot rodding while my electrical income pays everything else. I will never have a 100K pro-touring car but my 64 El Camino has been slowly coming along with the latest project being a warmed over LS1 build and T56 install. |
Ever been to the coast and seen huge dredgers replenishing the beach? That's what I do for a large Belgium Dredging company, I'm currently building the worlds largest container terminal in Singapore.
It's far from glamorous, I'm a 2nd officer on a 11136 ton ship, I do 12hrs a day, 7 days a week, 6 weeks straight... however I then get 6 weeks off without as much as an email from the company which serves great towards my project! I'm in a niche field being an Australian, working on a British passport, for a Belgian company, in Singapore, living in the US. |

The ship I navigate is the TSHD Brabo.

I'm an application engineer. I work for a company that sells and supports CAD & CAM Software. My job consists of training engineers on how to use the software and showing them best practice. I also provide tech support, software implementations, and pre sales demos.
It's a great gig and it's awesome getting exposed to a wide variety of industries. it can be demanding at times but the pay is good I enjoy what I do. |
I worked in Production Maintenance, for PPG Industries glass division. (now Vitro) Retired a couple years ago, after 42yrs service. My wife retired,last year. Between our firearms, our custom Harley, my 70 Elco, and traveling, I don't quite have the disposable income I used to have so building stuff takes a lot longer, these days. Being an older guy, I don't have to have the "latest & greatest" anymore, either, to be happy. Great to see the younger guys going nuts on their rides, though.
I also owned a sideline business, H&H Custom, for 27yrs, from 1979 to 2006. We built hotrods (musclecars & streetrods), custom bikes of all kinds, and even some aircraft. |
I've spent my entire career in the collision industry in various positions. Make a good living, but nothing earth shattering.
How do I build my car and have hot rod funds? I do side work. Made a deal with my wife over 20 years ago, she gets my regular pay check to pay bills etc. The side job money is mine. This allows me to buy parts at will without having to ask permission. But, that's also why it took 8 years to build my car. Do a side job, but parts, do another side job, buy more parts....... It works for us perfectly. |
