Tyler Jackson, and any other youngsters out there, we have not completely given up on the younger generation. As a matter of fact, it makes us old timers right proud to see a youngster taking an interest in repairing and restoring old iron. Problem is, today's autos and trucks have so much emissions and electronics on them that you can't pull it out under the backyard shade tree and work on it like you once could. Once you FIND the engine, the basics of repairing it are basically the same. My dad was a decent shade tree mechanic and I kinda followed in his tire tracks. By the time I was 21 I was doing a brake job or tune up nearly every weekend for some of the boys that I worked with. Never did but one "in frame" engine job though. Had a '54 Ford 6 cyl that was smoking and Dad said heck, just put new rings and rod bearings in it. A few weeks later the rear main let go and almost ruined the crank. Had to pull the engine and do a complete rebuild. I still enjoy working on stuff, but at 72 it takes a little longer to "get 'er done".
