I don't know about a "master" part. smile That is a very funny on going joke where I work. You see, I have completed all the tests required to be an "ASE Master Technician" in autobody and refinishing. So I was rubbing it in to the guys who have not been able to pass the tests and right after I received the news I had passed the last one and I had been doing the victory dance, I screwed up a car big time. smile Made a stupid mistake and it cost the shop about $500.00 to repair it. :o

So I really had to eat my words I'll tell you that. So the joke goes, everyone calls me "Master". LOL

Thanks very much for the kind words. To tell you the truth, is isn't so much "knowing" this stuff. It is being open to learn it. I have learned how valuable it is to take the time to learn it, formally study it. And if I can pass some on to you guys I will so you can jump ahead in the learning curve like I did learning it.

Thanks to all and I will have some new stuff coming. I had taken a little break trying to sell my book on the subject to some publishers. It seems no one wants it. They name drop on me some big boys that are putting books together with them. I don't get it, the beginer isn't impressed by the names and the big names don't write anything that would help the beginer. So, I will get back to doing the book myself.

Thanks again guys.
