General vehicle thread

Wow, good luck with that too. I envy some who are doing vehicle project.
I wanna do some vehicle projects, but I just don't have enough patience past few years.

Currently, I am regripping 25+ irons, 3 racquetball racquets, and re-shafting 6 irons. (i go through ~1qt of golf grip solvents per quarter)
After that, I am some restoration on 1 vintage golf bag. If that is over, I need to organize/sort some books and encyclopedias I won from local library purchase. (taking library tabs out, clean/erase/delete logos that is worth doing, etc)
If all that is done, I am planning to list all those online after my kid's activities are done.

My house stinks like golf grip solvent right now, but it is not as bad as Hopps solvent. :D

I am gm master certified ford master cetified and ASE master certified for over 30 years and the internet has taught me I don't know shit. Back yard mechanics with google are the shit im just a dipshit. So today I decided to change oil on my super duty being the dumbass I am figured I should ask the experts if I did it ok. I did it in my shop at home sure hope I didnt mess it up.

bingo is it sinking in yet?

I'm a working mechanic for about 35 years now, and I use google/youtube all the time,because I'm constantly reminding myself how little I actually know . The trick is in figuring out what's useful, and what's blatant bullshit. The signal to noise ratio on most forums is pretty low.

Very well said however I am not a mechanic im a technician kinda like the difference between a nurse and a doctor im a doctor. we all have are place nurses are awesome but they are not doctors. Mechanics are not technicians my expertise far exceeds that level just like a doctors expertise far exceeds that of a nurse.
