My early training as a mechanic was pre teens(I'm 64 yrs old in Sept)in a repair shop on a country corner about a mile away from where I lived.The guy that owned that was Paul Weaver who was a tough world war II motor pool mechanic.If he taught you sometime,you damm well have better learned it the first time.That and my father was a machine machinist.From that foundation I went threw a series of employers and then was sent threw cert training along with drag racing since I was 17 yrs old.

When I was a kid,I had it just the best.Intertwined with cars,I was a sound reinforcement tech mixing sound on tours in stadiums and theaters so I had rock music and hot rods.Not very conducive of a family life.Prove of that is twice a batter up and twice stuck out.Lucky for me two boys from the first time and some grand kids.
