Thanked: 70RezDog: I think you & the other commentators are right - experience and knowing what to look for and to gauge progress is vital. I restore sports cars and am pretty good at it.
But, I have been doing it for forty-five years and have skills that were a long time in development. I expect learning to properly hone is a skill that will take a long time to learn.
Judging progress and noticing incremental changes are my weakest part of the process.
If there are any teaching get togethers in Indiana or Western Ohio that would be open to boneheads who don't want to be boneheads I would welcome an invite.

Thanked: 4827I have truly awful geography so I won't suggest that any of the meets are near by, but a lot of guys travel some pretty good distances to attend meets. I have to say there is no faster way to learn than sitting beside guys that truly know there way around every hone, and can spot your pitfalls right away. You need to figure out how far you are willing to make a road or plane trip and then go for it on the very next opportunity. If you are wanting to see it all happen before your eyes it is worth a trip. Plus I always enjoy the trip as well.

Thanked: 70Thanks once again RezDog. So far it is a history of get togethers & meetings. I'll keep tabs on it for future get togethers. Sorry for posting the same question twice; I wrongly
thought the first one "didn't take".

Thanked: 4827September in Seattle I think is the next one planned. There is a pretty active group in California and another in Minnesota. There are random get togethers here and there and very small groups that meet as well. Not everything hits the forum. You could try posting a want to get together or you could look for active senior members by doing a member search under the community tab.

Thanked: 70Thank's FranfC, I'm doing a long road trip to Monterey CA region in mid Aug for the best car fun in the country. I'll be busy getting ready for that and wouldn't
be able to take the time to go to Denver. If anything else develops I and probably others would like to know.
