learned some growing up out of necessity to keep stuff operating , in school, i took all the auto shop classes i could, then for college i got a associate of applied science in auto mechanics, right after that when i got out on my own i fell in with a group of guys about 10 years older than me these guys lived and breathed mechanics, not only fixing cars, tractors and machinery, but building hot rods, starting with a pair of frame rails laying on the shop floor ,or even a part of a car for a template, one guy wanted to build something different, what he finished was a 1969 corvair, not odd enough? this one boasted a 500 cid Cadillac eldarado engine and transaxle in the back seat, painted chrysler plum crazy purple just for more flair, the thing was just plain scary! but looked factory from a distance, wasnt until you got within 50 feet or so that it became apparent that something was defiantly not stock here i learned a lot from them, my folks thought i was wasting time and thought it would be better spent on the farm, but until he passed every time he needed something fixed, guess who pop called? its still a disease 45 years later, i own and drive old trucks, all 7 of them, all but 1 are custom bodied for various jobs around the place or to make money, i run old tractors too not because i cant afford newer, but because i like the older stuff, i understand how they work, mostly and can fix them myself, usually parts are dirt cheap compared to the similar parts for new trucks and tractors, plus running this old stuff brings back memories of being young when this stuff was brand new
