Hey Folks,
So, when I posted the cost estimation calculator I forgot to add a blog entry about it. I have many people come to me or the site trying to figure out how expensive it will be to restore a car. The Project Estimator is a calculator, based on my experience and a few other known factors to give a rough cost estimate of how much a restoration will cost to perfom. So far it's been pretty well recieved.
Also, yesterday night I did my first "Battery Bailout" of the year. Once it starts getting hot here in Phoenix batteries begin to die at an alarming rate. For those who don't know, a car battery here only lasts a couple years at best. It's due to the extreme heat of the summers here. So, please, before you're stuck in a gas station parking lot, go to your local auto store and have your battery checked. I recommend having it done once every 6 months. Consider it to be free insurance against future breakdowns.
And, for us car guys, remember, a raised hood is a cry for help. As people who know and understand cars, its our responsibility to take these situations as an opportunity to help someone out, and possibly teach them something about their cars at the same time. Remember, what goes around, comes around. I cant count the number of times I've been helped out over the years when one of my LBCs dies on me in the middle of an intersection.
Cheers!
Jody
