I need an intern/apprentice
Its as simple as that. I need someone to help me out, but who doesnt need to pay for a wife, kids, school, mortgage, and a place to live.. lol.. What would be perfect is a guy on work release from the jail, but then when he gets out things might not stay around too long..[:@].
Cant really pay someone to work(at least not alot), but I can teach alot about what to do and what not to do, and more importantly how to do it. One benefit would be is when we sell a car, a split in the return on it would give both of us a bigger chunk of change. They could move on to something else whenever they felt like it, but it sure wouldnt be an easy life.
Both my kids are daughters and they live 850 miles away, so cant do that. I wonder how I could find a kid who would be willing to work just to learn this stuff, and can get over here often enough to actually learn it and be beneficial to me..
any ideas?
and before you think about moving up here, think about living in a small room at my place and workin your butt off for little more than knowledge.. hence an intern or apprentice.

I know you are half way kidding, but for a kid in high school who wants to learn auto mechanics, it would be a very good deal. Check with the principal and have him announce to the student body in the morning announcements that if any boy wants to do some on the job training in auto mechanics to call you.

not a bad idea if you provide shelter and food. altho this isn't 1920 anymore, so good luck with that.

Yeah Glen been thinkin about that. Also have talked to the teacher in the "Special" kids class, the trouble makers version. I really could use someone around to help out, besides she is really attractive and easy to look at. Considering I am 15 miles from a sizeable town, they would need to have transportation and be legal to drive.
By up here I mean the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. like right around here... its a bit of a commute to Florida from here...

I'm in OH but I would do it if you were close. In fact I just applied to do something like what you just described - it's a great way to learn. In addition to making an announcement at the high school you may just want to take one of your cars to a few car shows and if a high schooler stops to look then strike a conversation and mention it to him. Or just move to Clevo

RE: I need an intern/apprentice
what about this for an idea...
I used to take my car to an older guy with years of Mustang expertise. I didn't have a lot of cash at the time, so I used to pay him for use of the hoist and advice/ instructions, then do the work myself. I learnt. I didnt spend too much. He made some money that he otherwise wouldnt have got.
I'd be pretty sure there are people out there who would pay you to help them do the work themselves. Hell, look at all the guys on this forum who turn to guys like you for advice. THen you could use the money to pay for an apprentice and work with him on your own projects.
