i'm sad to hear all this, but i certainly don't have any memories of "the good ol days" as im a wee lad, but im wondering if it'd be reasonable to try to gather the information for all this kind of work and start a shop just fixing old stuff that no one else is willing to? i figger if i can find enough of the old guys to teach me the tricks of the trade i could probably get pretty good at a lot of it, and if i did more than one thing i'd be more likely to have enough business to stay afloat. thoughts on the matter? i've always wanted to start my own shop, but i really think it may be a decent investment, as i do really enjoy working with old automobiles.
