This is very well said. Before I owned my Model As, I didn't know how to change the oil in my cars. Let alone take an engine apart and put it back together! (Not going to try that with my modern cars, but hey...).
One of my favorite parts of working on Model As is taking parts that would have otherwise been discarded, sometimes not even recognizable, and restoring them to their original glory (photos of two pieces I was working on this morning...)
