Was hoping to contact you to have you build me my bucket list dream car Lowrider. But being terminally ill and just got bad news so 9 years of being ill is coming to the END of my life. Just turned 53 and a stroke few years back took my left eyesight and right ears hearing. That’s a cakewalk compared to my organs failing over the last 9 years. I was a car builder with my own shop. Then built houses for 25 years and now I can hardly take care of myself. Please be kind to one another. Looks are deceiving as you never know what someone is going through. God Bless. RJ your work and skill levels are simply amazing. What’s been keeping me going the last 9 years even though I can’t work is the thought of finally getting my dream car. 63-64 Impala 3-4 pump setup. But it cost $1,000,000.00 a year in healthcare cost just to keep me alive. Thanks for sharing your content brother.
