[QUOTE="SPDguns, post: 4030458, member: 17621"] Back in 19 and 79, I had a '73 Opel GT. I bought a header from JC Whitney (this was back when they actually sold car parts.) I took it to the Buick dealership in Tulsa on Sheridan where Sam's is now and they charged $109 in 1979 dollars. I got it home and looked at it and realized I could have done it. Since then, my philosophy is that if a mechanic charges $100 and I can buy the parts for $20, screw it up and buy the parts again for another $20, I still will have saved $60 AND learned how to do it. Fast forward to today and I still do my own work on everything [/QUOTE]
