Lightbulb need engine/car builder vegas

well

i fired my engine builder. he worked here at my shop and took blown up cars rebuilt them and got them started.
i have most every tool and if not usually buy anything that makes us faster.
we have all of the factory manuals. expect to work on the entire car and all systems.

i can personally repair most everything but build the block but prefer not to do that much dirty work as it were.

the 2 jobs here are
job one
i buy fc3s cars mostly tii dead or alive modified or not . we repair them as as stock as a car as i can make . sell for profit.
job 2
build service and repair our fc3s race cars. na turbo and pp . road race drift and dirt rally.

why did i fire my last several guys . they didnt show up on time . they didnt come thru on commitments. they didnt tell me they used parts lost or broke tools.
so being a excellent engine builder may not be enough

this is not a public shop. 90 percent of the work is on a car we own.
this could be a full time job and pays weekly. i am not a joke i am not kidding .
i have 6 cars waiting now. i have paid out as much as 2000 a week when i had a motivated guy but i was averaging 500 to 1000 with my guy that didnt want to show

we have a fabricator who is amazing and a amazing person. we have developed several custom parts for rx7s
mods for lowering . mods for turn angle . mods for style. mods for speed. cages and bash bars. so on .

the next 60 days is beautiful in vegas i want to get started.

you will need tools
drivers license and insurance.
skill and a good attitude and honesty .
we will give you cash and no stress

reply for contact info

i can ship you engines as i don't know any builders in that area i would trust. Peter has watched me build enough that he knows how to build his own now but you aren't gonna get him to work for ya or anyone but himself.

but come on now... $2k a week? i never made that on my best week in vegas and even not counting the overhead of the shop. we are talking about rotary cars right? do i want to know what you are selling on the side of the shop on a dark evening? heh.


fact is i want to get rid of these ******* engines i have, i'm sick of looking at them and being reminded of the 1/3 of my life i wasted. however don't think i'll take kindly to lowball offers(since i do the best work for the price you will ever ******* find), i'll tell anyone right where to shove them. i got 25 give or take core engines and i can build an engine every 3-7 days, if there was anyone actually needing them, lately that has been a big ******* zero.

yeah, vegas was never a permanent place for me from the start. my ex got me to move there but it always felt like a prison to me.

the attitude of people in general always wore me down and the scams that went on in that town... my landlords for example took me for $1200 when i left and i'm still playing with the idea of suing them, just a little difficult 3 time zones away now.
