Mightydog, Which kit did you buy? Is it user friendly? Did you go to Delta's training? By the way, welcome to the business.

Welcome to the forum, now try and find the time to do 10 practise repairs a day. Also make sure before you start any that you soake them with lots of water, we find this makes them slightly more real life.

Best of luck and have fun with your new career.

Since you will more than likely will do repairs outside in the elements, it might also be a good idea practice outside. Good Luck to you.

Be sure and introduce some RainX into those practice damages while you're at it!

Just kidding!

You might try asking the local wrecking yard if you can work on the wrecks thats what I did and after spending a few days doing about 100 of the ugliest dirtiest stuff you have seen I went to work I found the wrecks provided a more broad section of real world breaks unlike the fresh ones you make yourself good luck you are in a buisness where you can make a pretty deep living without spending alot of cash

These guys are right,, I though I knew what I was doing after training, but you really get the experience from doing hundreds of them LOL. Good luck and keep reading posts on here for help. You can search the forum for any problems you come across it works great to help you learn. Most important do tons of repairs before you start charging customers you don't wanna look like a fool on your first job ;)
