I have a rule I go by. That rule is question everything.
If I can offer a piece of tech advise, that in my opinion is the best. It would be that.
If something you read, see, or hear doesn't make sense to you, question it.
It doesn't matter who or what company it comes from.
And until they give you a good reason based on hard facts that you, yourself can go out and duplicate, don't take their two cent answer. Hold their feet to the fire.
The net is a big place, let along the world. There is so much b.s. info floating around, with people just taking and going with it.
If someone told you the sky was falling would you take cover, or would you look up to check their statement?
When it comes to your car, do you take advise and alter something based on what you were told or read, without doing your homework first? If you do, you need to wake up.
Don't do anything I, or anyone else tells you if it doesn't make sense, or without looking into it.
That's how YOU are going to become a better builder. Figure out how things work.
Last year at an outlaw race in Atlanta that Yearone sponsered, I got to meet Foose. I asked him a couple of questions about sheet metal work I saw going on in the background on Overhaulin'.
This was his words: "Short of being totally off the wall, there are several ways to get from A to B. What ever way works best for you is the way you need to go. The end result of quality and craftsmenship is what matters."
The point being this. One method that works for me, may not be the method you choose.........
