How to Replace a Car Trunk

Doug got his start in fixing, customizing, racing, selling, restoring when young. Real young. His grandpa put two 6x8 garden sheds in the backyard of the apartment when Doug was in 4th grade and he went to work fixing bicycles for anyone who would pay. By sixth grade Doug had bought non-running motorcycles and fixed, and wrecked, them. First car, not running, by 14, fixed and sold for a profit…20 more by the time he graduated from high school, and lots more to pay his and his wife’s way through college. Two seasons on commercial fishing boats, a summer in the Prudhoe Bay oilfields of Alaska, and two summers farming filled up some time, too. After college he moved back to his home state of Alaska, and had a ball. For the first 6 years he operated a wood shop, building cabinets and furniture in the winter, log and frame homes during the summer. The next good activity was logging. Doug and a couple of buddies had a logging and sawmill operation for local and export use.
