I couldn't agree more. I have always been able to laugh at my stuff, call myself an idiot, and etc. I can go back and look at my builds and see things that I should have done differently. A fine example of this would be my 50 Ford F-1 that I built shortly after I discovered the hobby. I was fairly proud of myself when I first built it, as I tried many new techniques. But , as I go back I can see many mistakes. The best one would be the front leaf springs. When I first built the truck I was working with blurry instructions and couldn't see how they mounted. I ended up mounting them Sideways.I always wondered why I could never get the front axle to glue on or why the ride height was so low in the front. This was only an issue because I had extremely limited knowledge of real cars at the time, well, I actually didn't even know what a leaf spring was! I caught the mistake a little while ago and shown it to me dad and we both had a good laugh about it. It didn't discourage me because I knew I was never perfect, and know that I never will be.
