Thanks for that Jesse..I thought you may have had some trades training somewhere along the line..I am a Refrigeration Mechanic and Gas fitter//trained out of high school in the early '60's...by the Canadian Air force..but have been around old cars as long as I can remember..
Doing my own repairs of all kinds ..I started as a pilot..had a high frequency hearing problem..transferred to electronics school .finished my basic and was heading for Ground radar school and they closed up the mid Canada long range radar stations..about 20 of them so we had an abundance of radar techs..so they retrained me as a refrigeration mechanic..all before I was 20 years old..but the training never stopped..I was on an advanced gas fitters course three years ago..
So like you can weld..do my own electrical ..machining..steel and sheet metal work..along with any other kind of mischief I can get into..including house renovations and repair..roofing and cement work..
Just what you pick up out of interest or necessity..so admire nice work like you are doing ..Keep up the pictures and videos..
I'm leaving for Indianapolis on Friday but too cold to stop in ..But I would love to see your machine..
But for now,will keep current by MLU..
Semper Fi..
