I didn't go to school for it any more than one of our rifle/reloading loonies went to school for ballistics science pertaining to reloading, accurizing etc.
Like most anything in my life that I've wanted and gone after, I've taught myself how to do it. Same with building my own house, our hunting cabin, mechanics in general, body and paint work...
Well I do have an edge in the paint area as it has been my bread winning day job in a high volume OEM setting for 17 years or so now.
But with the car stuff, I grew up in the right time surrounded by cool cars that were just daily drivers back then. I come from a family of mechanics, both my grandpa and my uncle made a living turning wrenches and I like to think I picked up a few tricks from them. The autobody and paint stuff is something I started messing with when I was a teenager.
