What do you find to be the worst part of a build vs. the most gratifying?
For me - the worst part is electrical. When i was in shop class junior year, whoever was using my circuit board in the class prior had either intentionally or unintentionally crossed some stuff and left it, so when i went to fix it i got electrocuted, like bad. So now i absolutely cannot stand electrical work, i avoid it at all costs.
As for the most gratifying, i would say the body work. To turn something into a piteral piece of artwork. Body shop was my favorite class when i went to trade school. Don’t get me wrong, i love engines and i know my way inside and out - but there is something about sanding down bondo and getting the body lines perfect… and then watching the pain go on layer after layer, completely transforming the panels. To me that’s the most gratifying and satisfying
But what about you?
Being someone who's worked with DC electrical since I was little, I'm actually the opposite of y'all. Working on stereo's and any electrical component is actually my favorite part of working on cars. I love being able to make things work that didn't or you didn't think you could previously, hiding wires properly so it looks like it belongs, etc. Don't get me wrong I love working on engines as well, nothing beats a good wrenching session and enjoying the performance you gained on the road. But if I've got my multi-meter and crimpers out, I'm ready to go.
My least favorite is body work, I never learned it and it's not my thing, and I get upset when I have to go maintenance. If I have to fix or replace something and there's no opportunity to upgrade or make it better in the process lol. I'll end up putting if off (if I can safely) for far too long 😆
