Garage setup and training….
I am really into cars and Corvettes are definitely my thing. I love to work on cars but had never had the time nor the place to really do it right. I am now going to set um my dream garage the way I have always wanted and will spend the rest of my days working on cars. My question is: Does anyone know of a good crash course in car mechanics, preferably something that would focus more on old school mechanics versus new models? Maybe even something related to restoration and engine rebuilding? I could be anywhere although I would prefer something on the east coast. Also I would appreciate any input on a list of what a good garage setup should have.
Thanks guys and hope to be able to post pictures of the setup in the future.

Yellow 73, It's great to see a 14yr old with a real interest that some day may turn into a career if you chose that path.
I agree with the local vocational school idea. Be prepared to spen lots of time learning theory in a class room before the hands on stuff. Most local colleges offer night, and weekend auto tech classes, also welding cources.
The best place to gain knowledge is through books, join your local Corvette club, see what its members are dooing. Ask for their help with projects, ask if you can hang out when they work on their cars. I also suggest getting a weekend job if you can working at a local shop even if it is just sweeping floors there is lots of knowledge to be picked up.
Good luck!!
