I was a kindergarten teacher for about 30 years, and also an author, USFS Crew Boss (in the '60s), trucker, soldier 1969-70, played bass in a band, built a couple of houses, and restored/resto-modded about 20 complete 1/1 cars, among other things!  Still prefer bodywork/paint, but can fabricate, etc.  Only 80 now; and if no one else is impressed, I am!  Have a 1971 240Z, 1951 Ford Crestliner, 1961 Pontiac Tempest with stock Buick 215 V-8 (pretty rare!), and finishing Dad's '51 Chevy as a resto-mod for my son.  The Z is for sale, less than 500 miles on complete rebuild, mechanical and body/interior, and never driven through a puddle yet!  

My book is HOW TO RESTORE YOUR DATSUN Z-CAR, (CA Bill's Automotive Handbooks/CarTech, revised edition just out, but in print since 1990.  I restored my one-owner 1970 240Z, and later had NISSAN USA buy it back.  Have eight fiction books on Kindle, more coming: nostalgia/historical fiction about growing up in a small Western town in the mid-20th century called the A Place On Mars Series, and a long one in two parts about a pioneer aviator and his misadventures from 1905 until 1946, Bird of Ill Omen/Bird of New Hope.  

I really need to get busy; in the 'red zone' of life now!  Thanks wife of 55 years, for letting me live through all that!
