Without youtube and forums, I (we) would have never come as far as we have with the Jaguar or this Vette.

I've said 1000 times, not sure how guys did this chit back before the internet. I guess tons of trial and error and maybe some manuals.

My Dad could literally do anything with older cars, not as much the newer stuff. Every vehicle we owner he had a Chiltons (is that right?) manual on hand and he did any and all work on our vehicles.

I wish desperately I had learned more from him. Sadly I mostly helped with tools, brought him his soda over ice, mixed the bondo or cut fiberglass for him. LOL Still love the smell of that stuff, always reminds me of days gone by with my Dad.
