    Perfection & mastery are not achieved by 9 to 5, collect a paycheck & turn off the switch at the end of the night/week. You, sir, are the epitome of hard work and dedication. It’s a 24/7 world & those who want it, go after it & achieve. Congratulations on all you have and continue to accomplish. I look forward to future videos. Enjoy the 4th of July holiday! Stay safe!

    "If you're willing to things that other people won't do, you're going to be able to get things that other people don't have." Those are the same wise words that have gotten me to where I am today. To add to that I say get up and live your dreams. Nice new space.

    The guy I learned from told me 40 years ago , I was 16 high school drop out stay with it and you can make money. I did. And he was right . Never hurt for money . Now it's just a job . Cars aren't my thing anymore . I look at them like cattle get them in get them out. But I do well .I know techs that make 250 grand a year I live in Texas

    Awesome new garage. I set a goal for me to build out my new 2 bay garage the next two months in my new house in Sarasota with compressor, lines, and a paint booth. Plan on starting some youtube videos to restore a few older volvos. You are inspiring me to follow in your foot steps!! I have made a commitment to become an awesome refinishing expert over time. It would be great some day to have the opportunity to meet you! 👍

    I learned the trade in Texas starting in the late 80’s. I wish someone would have taught me to take better care of myself as far as osha stuff is concerned. I love having the knowledge I have, there was tons of opportunity to learn cool stuff and I’ve done stuff that is super cool.
    Thanks to working for a boss that did not care for his equipment, I ended up having a truck fall on me when the lift had a free fall collapse. I have a lot of surgeries and had to learn how to walk again. Needless to say, I’m out of the business for good and have been for 20 years now. I love watching your channel and seeing how much has changed. I get worried that not enough young people are getting into this, but I would tell them it can be worth it if they take care of their safety in the shop. The last year I worked in this field, I cleared 6 figures for the first time in my life. That was 20 years ago.
    Lear all the auto body techniques, but also electrical systems, welding and moulding. With those skills, you will always have a solid job.
    Aside from that, maybe have an exit strategy from this business, well before retirement age. Find other fields you can go into that are less stress for your body where these skills will still have a use.

    I totally agree with your creed but even being efficient as possible, it's getting harder to make what we could years back with the industry tightening the belt, mainly insurance companies.
    Ive been in 33 years and i cant complain too much. Though there are times when i know i should have made more but got stiffed due to certain circumstances.
    My learned skills enabled my wife and I to literally build our own house in two years mortgage free and a new shop a few years ago.
    So i wouldn't turn away anyone interested in the trade. Id actually like to donate some time to offer classes especially to younger people to get them interested.
    Looks like you dropped a pretty penny on that addition. Good for you! Because i can honestly say from experience that youve earned it through hard work and honing your skill set. Enjoy the new man cave.

    I have been doing this job for about 10 years and i still love seeing the end result it might not be the best paying trade but i rather do something i love for a living and earn a bit less then do something i don't like and earn more , i started a bit later after i finished high school i did not know what i wanted to do with my life , i tryed joining the military but washed out because of an injury, then this job came along and i fell in love with it ever since

    This might result in self healing paints soon, or maybe even a e-ink screen building process rather than singular colors, and possibly this too could happen with metallics. And, it will charge your vehicle.
