Unemployment bordem.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

diamondave · 09-15-2009, 06:16 PM

Been unemployed for 5 months now... the job market here isnt too good...

So to kill the boredem I have been messin' with the truck, so far the changes are mirrors and painted goods (Wheels and grill...). And a good cleaning!!! with no funds to anything really out there, I just find cheap ways to improve on this thing.

It is now my DD, and I hate the hydroboost brakes! Soooooo touchy!

Whats next?....

Tell me what ya think of it so far....

Before...

After

Looks awesome! Hopefully you get back on your feet before unemployment paychecks run out! I entered the HVAC industry in October and was laid off in March-May. During that time I accomplished so much body work and then returned to work in-time to make good money again.

Getting laid off is actually nice if it's within a small time-frame and you get to collect.

im with you on the job thing.no one is hiring all the "kid" jobs are being taking by the adults from them geting layed off from there jobs.and not being 18 yet is not helping ether.just keep mowing grass to keep money in my hand

i know,i know

Um, can I have your old mirrors?

Like the little touches. I understand doing little cheap things to help keep your mind off things. I got laid off last year but I was fortunate to find a job quickly. This may sound odd but you might look at selling cars. It is not the most steady job but there is potential for good money. I know out here there is always dealers hiring. I started doing it as a means to get by temporarily, and still do it 2 1/2 years later. Sorry to ramble but I thought I would offer up the idea. Oh, and really, about those mirrors...
