Books – Restore Cars Fast Car Restoration Help

Look. I admit, I am not the world’s absolute top expert on car restoration, I haven’t attended years of  auto mechanics classes or done any shop apprenticeships. I haven’t worked in a car factory or a restoration shop for half my life and in fact I wasn’t even on this planet when most of the cars I have worked on have been built. But I have done one thing that most of the “experts” never actually accomplish. And that is, I have restored several classic and muscle cars from start to finish entirely by myself. I have been successful at doing this for two reasons: one is that this is what I love to do and it brings me great pleasure, and two is that I believe that because I have no extensive theory training, there is nothing holding me back and stopping me from doing what I love to do. Look at it this way, if as a kid you got a big set of lego to play with and then right when you’re about to start your parents would tell you that you’re not allowed to play with it until you read all the instructions and then pass the test and a whole bunch of training. Would you really want to play with your lego? And even after you did all the training and tests, by then you probably wouldn’t have any excitement or urge left to play with the puzzle. Well it’s the same thing with cars, rather than wait around and do a whole bunch of tests I just jumped right in and started playing. I’ve been playing with this big boy lego since I was 17 and have never looked back. All the questions and problems…
