I think that will be great,I cannot wait to see it I like looking at other builds and seeing how other guys went about it and the issues they ran into.what they did and how not to do it.I know I went about some things wrong but I learned and maybe someone can avoid making the same mistakes starting with a bad purchase.Its not the same just looking at pics and having someone explain why,how,when.thank you.

I've been working on cars for over 40 years so I purposely didn't follow any manuals. I just went with what I either already knew or figured out from experience. I do have all the good, the bad and the ugly. I recorded everything, even when it didn't go smoothly. I also show many different techniques when I run into difficulties and tests of different "rust removal" products. I also identify the size of wrench needed to remove each nut and bolt as well as the location of all connectors. Seeing them even with the body off would be helpful even with the body on because some of them are impossible to see. I think the videos I have would be very valuable especially to someone with limited mechanical experience.

I currently have around 24 hours of video so it's not something that I can easily post online. I will have to create DVD's individually so that's not something I am willing to do for free. I wouldn't be looking to fund my retirement (I'm already retired) but still my time is valuable to me.
