What is your automotive expertise?Ã‚Â Where do you really shine?

Well, I do electronics really well. A Sidekick is NOTHING compared to an F-111. I did F-111's for over 4 years.

That's why I'm replacing the stock ECM's on my Sidekicks with MegaSquirt ECM's I am building myself. Other than that, I just barely get by. I'm not afraid to tear an engine down to the bare block, but I'm definitely not quick. I tend to "analyze" things a lot...

Come on guys and gals I know there is alot of talent on this board. What I'm lookin tnto is putting all of this talent together and coming up with something for the midwest to the east coast like Overhaullin, but with a twist. Right now the only way to get on a show like that is to live in Cali. Well we need something like that in this part of the world, Ya Think?
