I hear ya Grady. The sharpest mechanic I've ever know could hardly use the cell phone his wife wanted him to carry.  You can forget about proper grammar or whatever.

I watched the man weld teeth back on to a ring and pinion and reshape them with a die grinder and rat tail files. Sand paper then polished and back in the car. Granted, these were out of a super lightweight front engine dragster, but they held up for a couple more years. 1700 lbs with driver with roughly 11-1200 HP at the tires.  Impressive.

He couldn't use a cell phone, his hand writing was horrible and he didn't even know the meaning of grammar. But the metallurgy I've seen Charlie pull of is nothing short of amazing. Not my favorite person in the world, but dude has some serious skills.
