Bill Brandt shares a tale of woe and German engineering.
I started out wrenching to save money.
That led to hot-rodding, which does not save money.
Something I am grateful for my dad teaching me wrenching is when I need something done that you cannot hire out for any amount.
It gets pretty common in hot-rodding and upgrading cars.
Shops refuse to touch things like bolting 6-piston Brembo calipers from a Camaro onto a Caprice. Literally bolt-on. Liability... blah blah blah.
Actually, that's not quite true. There's two kinds of shops that will do it.
The kind where you know more than they do and they won't do a good job.
The kind that knows at least as much as you and specializes in upgrades and come with the commensurately large bills.
Which leaves me doing it myself because I want the job done correctly and I can't afford the pro.
