Jeez I must be really old. I rememeber $19.95 and when it went to $29.95.
I took autobody in High School 11th & 12 grade's. stuck with it until I reached the age 38, realized I was getting to old for that line of work, not to mention I was burned out. Was Tired of giving top shelf work for pennies. Went to work for Boeing Aircraft Everett 4 yr's, Seattle 1.5 yr's, approx 1986 -91. Somewhere along the line, went to community collage, took Welding classes, I thought I knew all their was to welding via autobody, boy was I wrong, BIG TIME!!! Still weld in my shop, just don't keep a big schedule, nice easy pace. If I feel like working I work, or now play as a hobby machinist. Would have been cheaper to get involve with drug's, or you could say I'm into heavy metal, (milling machine, metal lathe, plus TOOLING, is where you drop money big time) and now getting ready to setup a CNC Plasma Cutting machine.
Gotta do something @ 66 yr's of age.
