Good to see someone else learning the same stuff I am at the moment. I just started learning how to solder with a torch for my GMC Pacific once I realized that a soldering iron was not going to cut it to heat the brass. What I've learned is that lots of flux and lots of heat is very important, if you don't have enough heat the solder won't flow correctly.
Something I'm realizing is that certain tasks seems daunting until you know how to actually do them properly, then everything begins to be much easier. Whenever I get frustrated with the way I'm trying to do something, it turns out I just don't know the right way. The forum has helped greatly with me learning the proper way to do things.
