<VV> LEARNING CURVE my past condensed

[N2VZD at aol.com]

over the years , i learned a lot of my CORVAIR ( and radio ) talents by  
taking approximately 150 or more decrepid tossed corvairs , radios , 
electronics  of all types apart one screw at a time. saved a lot of those parts  
also...but a lot went away when i moved . also learning curve was enhanced at  
the insistence of my boss at the time (renown 30's Chrysler expert) to  
"restore?" a 64 spyder convert i bought cheap. watching some of his work  
inspired my attention to detail of cleaning parts etc. if i did not understand  it 
, i got the book out  (before web) 
so , best way to learn , is to take it all apart , clean EVERY cotton  
pickin screw , nut , and part involved , then (with books nearby in case) put it 
 together yourself...very carefully , skipping no details.  if it don't fit 
 , stop and figure out why right then.one of the other important mottos 
jammed  down my throat as a kid , was "if you don't have time to do it right 
the first  time , why bother doing it?"
so for the most part , this is how i try to be.it  gets harder as you  get 
older though.
as i tell my friends around me here , the most important , hardest part ,  
is cleaning this stuff to be like new...then put it together.  more about
