Body shop jail but just for repairs. As I get older my motto is: make the call.....write the check!

HEY... I thought you were off holding hands with Ironbuilt on a holiday. Speaking of which, has anyone heard from Paul??
 
Five years.. Crazy... Many cars would have been sold before the parts showed up..... In spite of that those look outstanding....
Once in a lifetime build, soon off the Bucket list. Praying there's some gas left to drive it !!!
 
marriage jail
Been there done that but now I'm free!!! :D

Nope but don't think he's coming back to this site......at least not as Ironbuilt....
 
When I 1st saw the title I thought, rut roh !!! :poke:

The sad part Al, is I didn't notice you weren't posting
or participation in the convos or getting e-mails etc.
I'm So Sorry, time sort of flies by...
It's also, Good to have you back...

I do most everything I can, except machine or tire work, cars wise
right wrong or indignant, at least it gets done...

but I've been/sentenced too or in;

machine shop jail, any of the Long Beach gangs,
or in Concord, Walnut Creek, Pacheco or Vallejo places

aluminum block &/or head repair jails (specialists)

hardware jail (waiting for special studs, nuts, bolts & washers)

even custom rod, piston, rings & bearing jails,
even when I had (Uncle Joe Pisano RIP 'not my real Uncle')
Venolia/Childs & Albert as my sponsors (co. gone now too)

multiple carbon fiber/fiberglass parts jail

tire suppliers jail (or pay the price at the track of 50%+ more)

pro-gear manufacturers jail

custom or just plain old 'converter' jail
*clutch, trans or can jail

even self-imposed body & paint jail (or ultimately do-over jail)

fabricators/chassis builders jail
'chassis builders can be the worst'
when I 1st built my 1st FC & then turned it into an altered
my old brand x doorslammer was in & out of Tom Alston's shop
in like 3 weeks, way back in the later 70's
But my T/S or outlaws P/S car/s or my 1st FC/Altered was a struggle
I had to go over to the chassis fabricators garage
(Don T. in Pacheco Ca. or Bob M. in Pleasant Hill Ca., bob wasn't as bad),
buy him blades for his, lathe or band saw, belts for the sander &
rod, or tips, get his bottle refilled etc.
do multiple beer runs (for afterwards) :poke: , I helped drink them too...
Stay on top of it, to motivate the guy & get/keep the ball rolling...
'some have worst than bankers hrs'
but;
I will confess, he taught me a ton of 'priceless lessons'
(Don he was/is one of the best at what he does, just takes his sweet *** time,
in his defense, he was going thru carpal tunnel stuff, so I did the grunt work
)
& learned how to do the stuff myself, way back when, 'great education'
it wasn't free by any stretch...
but;
learning from some of the best, so I didn't have to go thru that **** much,
anymore, is/was priceless...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think anyone in any business can relate, to some of or most of this stuff...

I've also been in building/supplies materials jail many, many, many times
holding up finishing 'paying jobs' waiting on windows, doors, roofing,
HVAC, carpeting, tile/flooring, lifts, or even rental tools/equipment
or just basically any subcontractor Jail,
any or all, of contractors/project managers-nightmares/jail
any or all, being at the mercy of someone else's schedule etc.

even towtruck/rollback jail :poke:
being at the mercy of a towtruck/rollback driver, sitting on the
side of the road "waiting", they seemed to take their sweet *** time too :D
Sitting stranded, they say "be there in 45 min.s" :jackoff:
& show up 2+ hrs later or not show up at all
& having to call another company altogether...

:luvplace:

my $1.25
