There will always be guys that won’t or can’t do their own work. Have shops closed, sure. All shops aren’t the same and I’m sure you know that. The best part of racing to me has always been learning how to do my own work so I can have pride in the work I did, not someone else. Sorry that upset you but that’s hot rodding to me. Not dropping off an engine and picking it up done ready to install. And trust me old dogs can learn new tricks. 3 years ago I started doing my own powerglide transmissions after my friends health started slipping. Next up Ford 9 inch rearends.
