And there you have it folks. The problem with DDC was he asks for help then totally ignores the very informed help he gets. He is deservedly proud of what he has accomplished with his own two hands but dare I say, if he had that attitude outside of a union context he wouldn't have a job.
Flame me if you want but that's my 2 cents.
And DDC, that's my car at the bottom of this post that I built with my own two hands and a few friends. I'm not a check book racer until I win the lottery. We do all our own fabrication and 99% of the machine work too.
