Re: Thoughts on this Hobby
To the generation now coming into the hobby a 65 mustang IS an old car and to many it's an ancient car. A stock prewar ford is as exciting to them as a stock brass era model T was to us. 'Quaint, but what do you do with it?' As far as labor rates, 2 days ago I learned that the three primary auto repair shops on the island are 165.00/hr, 185.00/hr and 200.00/hr. Fortunately it's been many years since I have had a car worked on.
