Hi Mike, I am retired and enjoy learning new things. Your videos and explanations are of great interest to me. I have not done any body work in my life but your efforts show that if you put your mind to it, use a lot of patience and problem solving anyone could do this if they want. I also like Karl of Make it Kustom, also Brent of Halfass Customs and some of Bad Chads work. I learn from each and enjoy the journey. Thank you for sharing your passion and yes I am digging this.

When I see classic hotrod roadsters, I think of the concept of installing a Corvair engine (with shrouds), instead of a regular one, with the transaxle in back. ;-)
