Back in the 1980's, a fellow had a '77 full sized Chevy Blazer that was running odd. He thought the engine was shot so he sold it to me for $400. Turned out all it was was a pushrod had worn through the rocker arm. I never did figure out why, it was oiling OK. Anyway, I put a used push rod in it and set the rest of the tappets and it ran like a charm.

I sold it to a neighber a week later for $1500. He drove it to California and pulled a '58 Edsel back on a tow bar. When he got back, he had me redo the body on the Blazer and repaint it.

Then his wife decided she didn't like the Blazer, so she talked him into trading it to a local GM dealer for an S-10 pickup. The dealer put the Blazer on his lot for $3995.

Then my neighbor had me repaint the Edsel.

ETC, etc. Made a bunch of money out of the whole deal, but--that was what I was in business for.
