Work hard and pay for what you have. We are the same there. Our house was paid off like 15 years ago. Nice update, good to see you work with wood and get some splinters. 😂😂😂

[@OldTimeGarage]

I hate wood lol

[@briankinnear7461]

Some great progress. Looking forward to seeing that Vette back in paint. The man cave sounds like it's gonna be a cool room. Be safe and stay well.

[@OldTimeGarage]

Thank you

[@tertessa]

[@TheCanadianBubba]

The Benz is going to turn heads, that's for sure 👍 Those vents blowing cold while eating up some highway, buddy gonna be smiling !

[@OldTimeGarage]

[@mikl911]

The Firechicken is looking good! You paid your dues and did it right! Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@OldTimeGarage]

Thank you

[@kriswright1022]

Believe me when I say, your hard work shows. The quality is pro level, as opposed to the hacks that flood YT! You have a couple of rigs in yer stable of cars that I would give my left nut to own, so keep on keeping on, and enjoy them beautiful cars!

[@drcornelius8275]

Glad to hear you're starting to reap some of the rewards of working hard all your life! I'm getting close and by 60 I'll be retired. I started working at 13 and have been a 60hr+/wk blue collar guy all my life. There were times early on eating nothing but bologna sandwiches, and sweating to pay the bills, but those days are over! I'll be satisfied to leave this world with anything past 80 as long as I'm healthy..... and then I'll have already had my heaven for those 20 retired years :) Wish me luck!!

[@OldTimeGarage]

Good luck my friend . You will be here as long as you want .

[@redhenpics]

So true Rick, live within your means and it will pay off. So glad I found you before you slow down too much! I’m looking forward to working with Derek at Custom Creations too. I found the two best guys possible to restore my truck👍🍀

[@steveveness3829]

​@@OldTimeGarageYes Rick it is. G'day from West Australia😉 Turn 60 this November, on my 3rd wife of 8yrs married on the 8/4, Just put her in an Ambulace for the 3rd time since 2016. Been looking after my mum turning 93 in October, she has had Dimentia since 2013. On my way to 3yrs in my current w /shop. Worked my ass of for 43yrs so far. Still love the trade, still, working towards a time I can build for myself. Life ehh can be cruel for some of us. Never been bitter of those that get to do what they want though. Just keeps me inspired to keep on living making the most of life I can. 😊 Keep up the videos buddy, keep enjoying life, keep on smiling, and keep on creating cool cars your way. Cheers buddy🏁🍻

[@Ryan67rs]

Hey Rick, I watch all the videos but don't comment muck. You are exactly right 9:39 I tell my son the same thing. Ryan.

[@OldTimeGarage]

Thank you

[@cannednolan8194]

Glad that thinks are going the way you wanted. Do you cars the way you want. If you wanted a 32 you could always break the bank on a repop. But I like yours. I was a hard work when younger, started working at 13, full time by 14, full time nights and school by 15. Have had debt since I was 16. First car loan. For an 86 tempo crap brown 4dr. Still have debt $12g and $85g on the house. I want to be debt free. But just quit all my addictions in the last year. Weed was the one that took a lot of money. But liked it cause I could still work. I want to work and expand my business but it’s slow so moneys not there to do the moves I want. But I got the plan and I like to work. I got my projects and I would love to bang them out as fast as I can but that never happens. Nicest thing someone said to me years ago. He thought he was kinda insulting me but I don’t see it that way. “ you do what you say you want to but it takes you a long time” I agreed. Still does. The formula is knowledge, time, and money. When you can invest those stuff gets done. Keep up the good work, also they have printed panels for walls at rona. With different design like white wood and reg wood, brick they can look good. Sorry for the story.

[@christopherarmbruster6241]

My sister had one like that..

[@OldTimeGarage]

Cool

[@labrd41]

I would imagine that there are 1000 American Graffiti replica cars across North America. Why would you want to make it 1001?

[@OldTimeGarage]

So true !

[@A35pickuptruck]

You need to go talk to the younger generation about hard work. Thank God I had a father that taught me just What you are saying.

[@OldTimeGarage]

Yup . They cut a cough and they stay home or a paper cut and it's the end of the world. I get the shit kicked outa if me every day and I keep going. Cause that is how you get ahead. Not by wining saying how much harder is is for them today. Thats a crock of shit .

[@mikeycunningham2307]

Are you ever going to build your family's truck you have thats in pieces

[@OldTimeGarage]

One day .
