But it all started out with learning how to put stuff together "with your hands" at an early age.
Ya the 1st time you do a Candy Apple red or Blue or Tangerene and it turns out good and your a kid your hooked forever.

I painted my Bike Candy Apple Tangerne had the chain guard chrome plated and polished up the rims and spokes with metal polish. It looked awesome the kids eyes popped the next time I rode it to school they alll wanted to ride it.
