I was around 13 and younger when first working on my old truck. I did a pretty decent spray paint job to slow rusting, rebuilt the rear brakes, learned why my head wasn't getting oil (clog oil lines)and either drove around or pretended to drive around.
Mistakes:
I sand blasted the hood while on the truck without protecting the windshield. This only resulted in frosting the glass. Please don't do that.
I also thought I wanted a modern radio with a tape player. This only resulted in hacking the dashboard up.
Please don't do that either.
Eventually I turned 15 got a job and I haven't had near the idle time to work on the truck.
It's taken me nearly 15 years to get back to it.
Thank goodness We have this site now to help us along.
Sarcastically or Not
Good luck with your truck.
