What is your automotive expertise?  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...

I can put gas in a vehicle really well.  Actually I don't shine in any area of vehicle work, but I can do basic stuff.

     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?

Let's see where to I shine...

-Engine, repair, rebuilding and developement

-Drive line, picking, choosing and matching to application

-Brakes, repair, modification

-Suspension, I'm ok

-Diagnosis, pretty good

-Body work, if ya like yer ride don't let me fix it. (I can do it but it ain't pretty)

-Electrical, see bodywork

-Welding, stick and Mig, when I'm in practice I'm pretty good, when I'm not it's like my
 bodywork

-Component, concept, rough design, I think I'm pretty good

-Fabrication, when I'm in practice pretty good (see note on welding)

Want to see what I've done...check out pics of zaggys engine, do it yerself engine build!

I'm good at researching stuff. Other than that, I'm 17 and I can change the oil and I put a new alternator in my sammy the other day.
