I started tearing down cars to various levels for my old man in his auto body shop behind our house when I was 9 or 10 years old. We mostly did paint and restoration stuff on classic cars but also rebuilt totals. What that means is you buy two wrecked cars of the same year make and model where one is crashed in the front and the other is crashed in the rear. You tear both down and cut them in half then weld the good front half to the good back half. Then you paint the whole thing the same color and use whichever interior was nicer.

The Snap-on truck came right to our house every week or two back then.

I did this type of work until I was 22 years old, which was about 1992 or 93. That's when I got tired of spending my days covered in a mixture of sweat and bondo/primer/paint dust and went back to school.
