Professional Firefighter for another 110 working days. Will be a civilian for the first time since 1969 except for two years in tech school. I'm going to miss the guy's but won't miss the bullshit.. May be able to finally get some of my junk finished. As my operator says "Hot Rod's ain't Shit when they don't run"

 

Manufacturing Operations Manager - I oversee contracts, scheduling, engineering, purchasing, new equipment, getting things through our shop... and stuff like that... need a gibbs cnc programmer...

 

I'm a prototype fabricator. We build plenty of incidental parts and pieces from prints that almost never seem right. CAD sometimes designs shit that can't be built. When I'm not doing that they send me to the Motorsport group and I get to work on late model hot rods (yuk). I also seem to find myself in the paint shop often. Last year we got to resto-mod a 68 Shelby GT350 conv. This year it's a 65 GTO soon to begin. Last few weeks been building some big truck stuff to debut in Chicago this weekend. After the show I'll post a concept drawing.

At home I fabricate as well. In the process of a 56 Chevy HT. Getting a tall deck Merlin II BBC with a blower. No, not mine. Add full time care-giver to the list as well for dear ol dad.

 

not doin much of anything rite now but thot bout goin in to the used sidewalk business, I know where I can get lots of product, just don't know how much of a market there is rite now...

 

I'm a fuel system design engineer for GE aircraft engines. Project I'm working on is the F-35 fighter jet engine. One variant of the plane can hover and land vertically. Go to http://www.jsf.mil and check out the gallery section. Some cool videos there.
Oh, and jet engine tests are cool. You'd be amazed at the stuff they can suck in and spit out without missing a beat.

'nuther firefighter here. Just finished 15 years.
Four on four off, lotsa time to build cars.

 

this doesn't sound as exciting as some of your jobs, but i am a fencing sub-contractor for a company in gr. It allows me to not have a boss i want to slap every day, and i can be a piece of shit and sleep in a few hours if need be. but wintertime in michigan doesn't give me much work. so i spend too much time on the computer and not enough in the garage.

 

I feel yor pain,it is happening everywhere.Most of my job is being farmed out to Canada,(aircraft overhaul,to Air Canada).

 

Teacher's Assistant at a mental hospital for kids.

 

I work in my dad's transmission shop. I like it. Been there 4 years. The only thing that sucks is washing parts with new varsol. Burns the hands after washing parts. You'd be surprised what things will cause a transmission not to work.

 

Part time, I supervise the production requirements and the employees at one of the few nationwide Dust Factories. We pump tons of dust into the air everyday to meet demands.

A "Dust factory?" you ask?

Well, it has to come from somewhere, doesn't it?

Actually, I supervise the group that produces the AT&T (formerly SBC, formerly Ameritech, formerly Michigan Bell) phone book covers & advertising - the big $$$ stuff. I started out as a graphic designer and unwisely switched to management. They fired the original supervisor of this group and put me in charge against my wishes. We make the covers for the phone books of California, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Looking for a new career/place of employment. I'm bored and the people are aggrevating.

 

and another career firefighter, but not like you guys.

Okay post #2 for this FNG. I work for that big airplane company in Seattle WA. I write a couple chapters of the 777 airplane maintenance and fault isolation manuals. I cover environmental control systems and engine pneumatics (hot air )

I resurface bath tubs. Surface Doctor is the name of my business. I do a lot of really cool old clawfoot tubs, but most of my work is in average homes. I meet a lot of good people, and some real jerks. Every now and then I get to see some cool old cars, stashed in garages. But nothing is ever for sale. I did a job for a guy who has more car magazines than I do. Still working on being his very best freind .

 

I work at GM designing the interiors of cars. No, I didn't have a thing to do with the Aztek. I fart around with a website called motorcityhotrod.com and try to scrape up enough money to get a Model A roadster body and frame. Help me, I think I'm a helpless cause.

I do development and performance testing of gasoline detergents. Yes, some do work better than others at keeping your crtical engine parts clean.

Trivia: dirty intake valves can easily rob you of 5-6% of your power at high rpms. And good detergents can clean it up without cracking a bolt on the engine.
