Is that up by the roof or down by the rocker?

[DodgeFreak]

By the roof you can kind of see the rear of the door.

[dazedandconfused]

That's going to suck to fix.

[DodgeFreak]

Yeah.....a little....lol i think i may run by the junkyard where i bought another crewcab cab and see if he has another i can buy and cut pieces off it....

So I've made the decision that when I get home from school I'm going to roll The Roo Hunter in the shop and get started on her compound setup.

Kind of off topic, but kind of related...

Did you work for a year or two after high school? I go to school with a guy from SK and he said that a lot of younger guys that don't mind physical labor go to work in the oil sands or mining minerals. He said that he worked out in the middle of nowhere drilling dynamite holes and made quite good money. He beat around the bush and hinted that he made enough money pay for school, which tuition is about 10k per year. Can a guy make a good enough sum of money to buy a truck or pay for school in a short amount of time?

I don't want to seem nosy, but I'm interested in the work. At this point in time, paying for school or putting a respectable down payment on a house sounds good.

I got on as a heavy duty apprentice out of high school, and worked for a year before going to school (I'm done in 2 weeks) if you get on as a swamper or something like that you can pretty easily get into 6 figures a year (sometimes even after taxes) so yeah you could make enough to get a truck (I actually know someone who bought a brand new ram 1500 sport w/hemi straight out (I think it's about a 40,000 dollar truck)) or put a damn good down payment on a house.

The best ones are camp jobs where you end up with 0 expenses and all you're doing is working, so you end up with one hell of a profit margin

I'll mention that I was having a good time spending between $1k and $3k a month last year while maintaining a steady account balance

[PToombs]

I couldn't drink that much even if I was an alky!

Ellis, NO SPRINGS. No single springs, no springs on loaded struts, no nothing. 95-98 Cirrus, 96-98 Stratus and Breeze all take the same springs. I was surprised when I found a set the other night, as I looked on at least a dozen websites and parts stores and found no listing for front springs. None, nada, zip, zilch. Does not exist in this dimension. Except for that 1 place now. And $427 is more than the car is worth, so it ain't getting them.

And the other car is a Hyundai Elantra, not a sonata. Whatever the hell that is.

Was this directed at me? I'll clarify that was the amount I was spending was on parts for The Roo Hunter. Alcohol was money on top of it

[PToombs]

YUP! I know that when working out of town usually the only thing to do at night is drink or sleep, and most young guys don't wanna sleep.
Glad you were spending it on something useful so you have something to show for it.

[DMan1198]

I'm glad I got that right then. Drinking a lot doesn't appeal to me much. Mostly it comes down to 1 maybe 2 once in a while. Usually I'm so tired I just want sleep, and when I'm not tired I'm thinking about my trucks. Planning out what I want to do and how I'm going to do it. Sometimes I even get into materials

I forgot to look Pete,but will in the morning.

Those hyundais are good little cars,CHEAPO little cars that can be absolutely trash if the t-belt breaks. If you do anything with it,number one thing is to put a belt on it pronto. Gates or factory only too,no AutoZone trash. It's not a bad job either.

[DMan1198]

Haha that's another good one. Are you sure there's really such thing as too many gun sites?
