Henry does not like oil changes because the DIYers spill oil on his nice concrete driveway. He lets me do them on the cars because I have done it 100 times and do not spill or drip oil on the ground. So, for oil changes we started to use the parking lot of a Harley shop owned by my friend. There was already so much oil at the Harley shop parking lot that it did not matter. If you want to do an oil change at Henry's then you need to ask him.

Other than that, I cannot think of simple things that you cannot do at our work on cars day. If you have a project that will take some time then you should put it on Renntech. That way we can make sure there is someone to help you and make sure there are tools for that project.

We are going to do the 4 stalk OBC retrofit on Alberto's 1997. It does not take any longer to do 2 cars at the same time. In fact, I once did 6 OBC retrofits at the same time. In the picture you see 4 cars in the driveway. There are another 2 cars in the garages.

I have a PST2 so I can turn on the OBC.

No need to take work on cars on the road. It took a year of filming but we came out with 3 DVDs of projects.

We filmed enough other projects for another 3 DVDs if a local someone wants to get involved in creating additional DVDs.
