A problem with trying to help som eof these "Type 3s" is that they take constructive criticism the wrong way and think you're talking shit. They get deffenseive, and then refuse to listen. I think theres a certain attitude that goes with the "Type 3s" as well.

shut up cris and what Jance said about that "built not bought" quote: i agree with ya buddy! i think that quote is total HORSE SHIT!! i bought my truck built and am learning a lot from it. as i change something, i learn, and once i know something that ive changed is done the right way ill tell other folks how to do it. if im not 100% sure that im correct on what im saying i wont say it at all! i would much rather buy a truck thats built and learn from it,figure out what could be changed for the better, change it, and learn from it. not buy a stock truck throw on some shitty fab work and say "built not bought bitches, i did this shit myself" i HATE that. from what all yall say it seems like there is a lot of inmature lil punks out there doin shit work and trying to look cool.

Thanks Seth..thats what I'm trying to get at. Too many guys have the "if he can do it, I can do it attitude" and nothing you say will sway them away from it.

i saw a doctor give this chick fake boobs on tv yesterday, i think im gonna give this chick some fake boobs tomorrow.....

This is definitely true. And I hate to see it. Mostly because its from the younger guys, which is a category I fall under. Its usually the young guys with the ego problems too. Shit like that pisses me off. And I hate getting thrown into a generalization with those guys.

eh, with the chick i can cop a feel when she's still under the anesthesia....

You don't like man boobs?

It doesn't really bother me that much but I would like to see someone that says that quote, actually do 100% of their own work and have it be a "#1" build.

I was watching American Hot Rod tonight and they sent out a car to have the top chopped at another shop, it wasn't that they couldn't do it themself they just wanted the best possible result and they weren't comfortable doing it themself.

I don't see anything wrong with that. If you are making a show vehicle and spending a lot of money then and you want it to look the best you would do the same thing if there was something you weren't comfortable doing yourself and no one would think any less of you as a builder, or shouldn't anyways.

Even the best of the best don't do 100% of their own work. Some people say "If you own it but you didn't build it, then it's not really yours." If that were true I would "own" real estate all over Oklahoma since I do carpenter work for a living
