As I watched the time line I couldn't help but think that if restoration shops worked as fast as you do and with such precision, restorations wouldn't cost 50-100k in labor.
I read that you worked in mostly an office environment (I'm guessing some field work as well) before retirement, but I am wondering if you had ever attended a metal fab/auto body program or are you self taught?

Thanks! I consider your questions a very nice compliment.
I am 100% self taught. Nothing with my career after college applied to any of my car hobby skills. It was just the love of cars and enjoyment of working with my hands that led me to develop the skills and I never tire from it. I was a Hydrologist during my career and it is what my degree was in.
