| Re: Hey, builders
Dad was a service manager at 18. Moved on to sales. Felt he left mechanics behind. Discourged me to work on my own cars. Had a great friend who he insisted we take all the work. Da (still living and loves cars at 80) wanted me o graduate fm college. One of the few who did. Almost dropped out in my soph. year. He was devistated. Went on to grauate and on to grad school and finished (in a non mechanical field). Dad asked me what I wanted for graduation and I said "tools" and off to Sears we went. All self taught. Read a lot. Can figure out most mechanical systems-very slow sometime but I manage to figure it out in time (with a little help). I hate electrons and their movement. Have raced and maintained go karts, have a Unique Cobra that I do most all work on and will do the same on the GT40. I like the older cars-much simpler. And web sites like this give you a whole world of help. Get in and get dirty and have fun! cb |
