Customizing Cars; A New Vocation?

I’ve been thinking about taking up a new vocation.  I just can’t find enough to do in my retirement years.  I used to be a huge ‘car guy’ earlier in my life so I thought I would start a business customizing cars and trucks for others.  I don’t have any experience but I can learn as I go.

Here are a couple of example of cars I’ve recently customized.  The owner of the Pontiac Aztek, above, wanted a look that would distinguish his Aztek from all others.  He felt it needed ‘something,’ but didn’t quite know what, so he turned to me.  I assured him, I would customize his car and make it unique.

The Aztek, arguably, was the ugliest car General Motors ever produced, according to the car enthusiasts.  So, I modified his a bit to show off the solid construction as well as set it apart from others.  What do you think?  

After I finished the Aztek, I thought I would try my hand at the more casual, off-road crowd.  The owner of the Subaru Outback, below, felt his car was too run-of-the-mill and too meek looking so I told him I could customize it to make it look more rugged.  He would be the envy of his friends and, after I was done, he would feel comfortable taking his Subaru anywhere and through anything.  Did I miss anything?

The custom body work took tremendous skill.  The wooden grille helps the car
float when traversing streams and rivers that may be deeper than originally thought.  The 
custom, high powered fog lights allow the driver to double his speed over anyone else
during foggy nights.

By having a broken winshield, one loses the fear of the windshield becoming broken.  That
makes travel much more enjoyable.  Less stressful.

Using acrylic prevents branches and projectiles from breaking a glass window.  The tape allows
easy interchangeability.  You can even transport a bicycle in the front seat without worrying if
The handlebars will break the glass.

The blue is just the perfect color to compliment flat black.

How could that be?

Well, what do you think?  I’m thinking I should do well and have more business than I can handle.  If any of you want to invest in my newly founds vocation, I’ll certainly consider any offers.

If you have a car or truck you would like to customize, just let me know.  I’ll surely make it different from any others on the highways!

Note:  I saw these two vehicles while on my rod trip last fall.  I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make a few images.  Lol.
