My name is Dallas. I’m a 44 year old woman and a “Shade Tree” mechanic. I want to tell y’all a bit about myself before I start my thread about my new Pony project, so you will understand where I am coming from and why my thread wont be as Professional as many of the others on here .
I have no Professional Mechanic skills nor training. My skills come from being told (when I was 12) that women can’t work on cars and that I needed to get my butt in the kitchen and make sure that supper was on the table by 6pm. This made me mad. Over the years I have busted my butt to learn Everything I can about tools, auto mechanical work and many other things.
Now - My tool box is taller than I am and every drawer is full of tools that I am experienced in using. My tool cabinet is chalk-full of power tools, the ones that will fit in it anyway.
Okay then, now that you have met me – the 1st project that I will be stumbling thru, is replacing my Ponys’ old convertible top. I received the replacement top today (Mon) and will start removing the old top tomorrow Tue (which is now today cause it’s 12:20am now).
I hope that by taking on this project, that maybe I can inspire others who don’t have a clue about what they’re doing, but are Driven to Get-Er-Done anyway, to take a leap and step into new territory. Every Chance They Get.
