Introduction

[Tmarti03]

My name is Tommy Martin, I’ve worked on cars my whole life and learned everything I know from people I’ve met along the way who were willing to teach me and answer questions in return for the free labor lol. My great grandfather was an “original ding man” his words, for Lincoln. He would tell me stories and try to explain metal working to me; unfortunately I was too young to realize how priceless what he was telling me was and that the way he worked on car body’s is a dying breed. He lived to be 103 yrs old and boy did he have some stories. I’m now 42 and I recently purchased a 1956 bel air and I’m excited to get to work on it and learn the ways of the trade.

Hi Tommy, you are in the right place there are still a few fossil people doing real work analog. Yes, we are a dying breed. Therefore, the transfer of experience is necessary. However, we can often be more efficient than modern production. But the consumption of brain threads is high. Delegating your experiences to the person standing next to you is often difficult. If you don't try it yourself, you don't know what's going on.
