  1. I think I was about 8 or 9 when I was taught how to solder. Wasn't too much longer after that I was working on a variety of electronics learning from my dad. everything from audio, wide band radio to tube tv's ;) Around 14 I started troubleshooting car audio for neighbors. Soon after that I was working on wiring pump systems, interiors, and paint. My mom did ceramics and taught me how to airbrush. I quickly adapted that to cars where I could. Until the internet. It was trial and error. Mostly error and redo ;) I had the skills to do a solid job. It wasn't until the internet that I saw others skills that I wanted to really work on mine. Now I use every chance I can to research ideas and designs to better my abilities.

    I guess it's partly what us older guys see wrong with the younger guys asking questions. With the overwhelming amount of info available, there is no reason for the trial and error and the amount of lazyness that is seen in the majority of installs these days. There is no reason for the guys just starting out on their 1st buildlog to not have quality work in it. It's not rocket science. It doesn't take cool amp racks or plexi and led's to be nice. Simple clean wiring. Taking time to carpet. Sanding and filling screw holes with wood filler isn't hard. This was all standard stuff long before the internet. Take pride in what you do. If you are here to show off your work, then lets put some pride in it.
