So tragic.

There is something pure and good about mechanical engineering.

It stands on its own.

How wonderful that you are able to do this. You are fortunate!

Thank you for the kind words. But I pretty much didn’t have a choice. I was born into it. Dad had a grocery store, two gas stations, an auto repair shop, and a towing/wrecker company when I was born. It was pretty much prearranged destiny. lol

But with all the years of hotrodding, racing, and motorcycles it has indeed been a fun occupation. And as this mess gets worse I realize the knowledge and experience I can share is going to soon become priceless.

Won’t be long and we will be like Cuba where they have no choice but to keep up and hand make parts for old old cars just to have any transportation at all.
