Unhappy Think my modding days are over for a good while

well as of today ive decided to start my career as a bbq pit....manufacturer i guess lol, well i decided i wanted to start my career building bbq pits, ive been wanting to do this since i was a freshmen in high school. i guess my modding really isnt going to stop, just going to be put to a stop for a good while because of me having to purchase all of the tools and supplies for the bbq pits, im going to be buying my miller MIG welder next week, which is going to be 1300 brand new, i wish i could put that 1300 in the truck but o well, there will be time for that later on, and i still have to buy other tools like the cutting torch, plasma cutter, grinder, chop saw, and other small hand tools, kinda sucks that i have to choose one, either truck or CAREER but i guess career is just a tad bit more important, i will still slowly and i mean sssllloowwwlllyyy be modding the truck, just sucks though, really would have liked to have the LQ9 but o well, we'll see what this new line of work brings me, o ya the reason im trying to sell pits on my own is cuz no damn bbq pit place around houston will hire me so i decided to start up my own pit "business" i guess u can call it, i guess they wont hire me cuz im still only 18, but ive built a few in my day and sold them for well over 400 bucks so hopefully i'll have good luck in the future
p.s. sorry for the long *** post, just had to let the world know!!!!

Sounds cool; I've been wanting a barbeque grill for a while. Just think though, when you get all the tools you can use them for truck fabrication as well.
