I've always been a builder/fabricator. I learned to solder/braze/weld and cut/fabricate steel and plastic at a very young age. As far as learning how cars work, RC cars helped (was into racing mod class pan cars for a while, then nitro stadium trucks, and lastly nitro touring cars) - but mainly I just dove right in and started tearing cars apart. Once you do something in one car (eg. brakes), it becomes easy to do on any other.
I learned growing up, my Dad used to make us help him work on the cars, I hated it, but now I am thankful for it.
Same damn way I learned everything else, by myself with no one to help me
not to hijack the thread, but how hard are the ase tests? my dad is certified in ase and i-car for autobody, i know he's horrible with bookwork so i didnt know if it was fairly easy or more common sense. he is great at what he does. im interested in getting certified so i can get a job in autobody
I bought the tools and started tearing **** apart.^^^ I'm trying to learn; I hung out with one of the guys at my job the other day when he put a front mount intercooler on his eclipse. I just try to be around people working on cars whenever so I can get an idea of how they come apart and go back together.
You never really learn WHAT to do, It's more of a long process of learning what NOT to do...
