I am old school that way as well. No formal training in anything I do. I am a commercial construction superintendent for a living so I see all kinds of challenges on the job site. Most workers on the job are very unskilled now days. Most are latino in my area.

On the racecar stuff I do everything myself. Assemble the engine, transmission and rear end. I built my car from the ground up many years ago. did all of the welding and fabricating myself. Again its old school but its an easy car to work on and fun to race. It ain't real fast but that's ok. When I was young I had a good mentor. He taught me the basics of drag race cars.

I am pretty much a do it your self guy. I fix what I can on my cars and trucks and around the house. I am a tool junkie and have lots of tools welders and torches to play with.
