I was just informed by the radiator shop today that since I do not know how to weld that there is no way I can build a hot rod and that until I learn to weld I should not even try.

I'm not going to try and do anything I don't think I can I just can't believe someone would be that outright rude, especially when I was there for business.
So I just smiled at him told him that is why the make nuts and bolts, picked my radiator up and took it somewhere else.
Just what exactly do you mean by "build"? No you can't build a frame and fabricate a lot of parts or chop a top without knowing how to weld. But you certainly can build a hot rod by buying bolt on parts and doing modifications that way. Just depends on what level you want to take it to.
Best way to learn is to get an old car and just keeping it running and on the road. You learn about all the systems that makes a car, stop ans whatever.
If you really want to learn to weld then go to a community college or vacational school that offer night or weekend classes.
I've got friends that pull that "I don't know how to (insert whatever here)" and it drives me crazy..I tell them I wasn't born with that knowledge either but I figured it out.. and I'm sure you will too..
Welding is 10% knowledge and 90% practice
He may know how to repair radiators, Bue he does NOT know how to talk to customers! Mention his shop by name so all us locals can spread the word and boycott his services.
