Payin' job should leave my "new" shop tomorrow !

In the last few months I've been moving equipment , carport , and stuff
to
Mountain View AR . Today I altered the mounting config on a supercharger
for
my neighbor , the first paying job in the new shop . I think I've found a
niche here , as far as I know there's not another "odd job" machine shop
in
the area . The neighbor and his son have given me an in to the local
fast-car crowd ... that first job is altering a Jag supercharger for
mounting on a Ford 5.0 highly modified motor . Hey , I always wanted to
be
involved with building fast cars and bikes !!


$65hr is a good starting rate here in California

Some guys have been working for $45hr.

Im closing down their shops

In Stone County Arkansas it's a bit lower than that . A good friend runs a
car resto business , he gets $35/hour , the Chevy dealer is at $47.50 .
Folks up here don't have a lot of money , but then the COL is lower too . My
rates are going to be around $35-40 , depending on what and who .
