Stokdgs- Yeah, the scents of thinner/reducer and bondo bring back pleasant memories as well. Eh, I finally decided to get a bit serious about college and never got back into DIYing the cars. I hope I don't sound like I give up easily, but a lot of this stuff I simply won't try to DIY. I like to think of it as knowing my limitations ;)

The best paint/body guy I have, who won't work on my "modern" stuff no matter what I offer to pay, still does lead on most things as opposed to bondo/putty. Speaking of having it in the genes, hopefully his son, who works with him, will keep up with stuff like that. They sure do turn out some amazing work, all out of a little shop on their family farm.

Yeah, I know, we all had to get serious - well, more serious, about our life's ambitions and ultimate goals - grow up, :) , get higher education, get married, have children, hold all the family together, have grandchildren to love, teach, and spoil, :) , retire someday, live happily ever after...

Totally on board with recognizing and knowing one's limitations. Surely, we can see the bar at the current level and take steps to raise it all the time, and we all do this every day..
But we are all much better at some things than others, and I actually like it that way..

This gives us the opportunity to expand our circles and reach out and be reached for; new opportunities to meet and befriend so many awesome people out there... There is so much more to this. I love this stuff !

That Shop you use for some of your projects - that would to me, always be the best place to go.. Small, not a Production Shop, very well versed in the trades, passing on the Skillsets of the Masters to a new generation.. Hard to even find a place like that anymore... You would have to know someone who knows that shop...

Would love to someday be out there on another little farm too..
