I had the trucks come by, snap-on, mac, matco; a healthy investment in tools, no regrets, I love tools. Other stuff, fluke multi-meter, knipex, klein, and a pc on a cart running alldata, racks of shop manuals. I was an engine builder so everything had to be super clean.I started as a teen in Texas, apprentice at a shop doing scut work. Later going to school in the rust belt cured me of wanting to do that. Went out west, started doing it again on the side, plus racing stuff, and then opened a shop. It was in a warehouse spot, behind a tall fence with razor wire, no drop ins. Though with tech guys, rappers, whoever, stupid money, I'd build them cars.edit: In the old days my shop was called a speed shop, today I guess I would have been called a tuner. It grew from that, word of mouth, had plenty of regular work; enough for three of us.Where it all began:[ATTACH=full]2767[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
