While doing my latest paint job on a soon to be 'shouldabeen' creation, I realized something.
When I was working on cars in a shop environment, things generally went smoothly.
There were bodywork guys, and metal fab guys, and painters, and chassis guys. There was a guy who cleaned the floors and took out the trash, people who worked with leather and tweed, the guys who made the cars go fast, and the one typical manager with a Napoleon complex who ran around yelling for no apparent reason. There were assembly guys who did nothing but made sure not to scratch the paint.
For my latest project, I have had to do
Everything.
And have had to pay the physical toll for it.
But honestly, there is not a thing I would rather be doing. Sure,there are days I wanted to throw a grinder through the windshield and roll it off a cliff, but seeing it come together is like watching a flower grow. It's all quite rewarding.
Regardless to that fact, I need people to come work with me. And when I get the Napoleon running around red-faced and the guys covered in paint dust, it's going to be even more enjoyable to me.
Here's to the next creation!
The big things.
