Hey Brother How are you. I got very, very sick. I believe it was from all the chemicals I was using when restoring cars. (stripping, grinding, cutting, painting, etc) I had to walk away from it all, at least for awhile. The last few years I was wearing a mask and painting outside and I even installed an exhaust fan in my shop, but it still wasn't enough. It got to where I was doing about 200 cars a month. I was hoping to quit my civilian job and just do it full time.

I miss it everyday, and I miss all the friends I made over the years. I shouldn't even be on here as I may end up pulling me back into the shop again, especially after seeing the custom restorations here.

I don't even go out into my workshop anymore as it makes me very sad, Everything is exactly how I left it nearly 2 years ago (about 100 restorations in various stages of completion).

Anyway, I am feeling better now. My color has come back to my skin, I can smell better, food taste better, my mind is clear, etc. I currently work for the Corps of Engineers, but am enjoying the time off on Furlough thanks to the government shutdown.

I miss everyone, hope all is well. BTW, what the heck happened to the MCCH? Seems I have missed a lot. Someone please fill me in.

It died for many reasons, mostly owner related mental problems. Everyone moved on to better forums.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Oh man, sorry to hear you got sick from this. I am taking a short break from it at the moment. I too worry about exposure to fumes and chemicals.
I paint out in the open but breath lots of fumes while stripping. Will have to re-evaluate the whole thing. I like making money, but don't need it that bad.
