Heck yes. Maybe start with some "simple" stuff like:
-Belt changing
-Convertible Top adjustments
-Motor mount replacement
-Car care - Waxing/washing/treating convertible tops, best practices for cleaning etc

Then we can progress to some more difficult things. Not sure how/where to do it but I can see it would be valuable for attendees to bring their cars with the necessary items needing replacement/repair/adjustment (all with clarification beforehand of what they would like to see done so we can have the necessary experience or tools to handle the job).

Just dreaming of course because these are some of the items I know I could use a second hand with.

Happy to help coordinate something with all interested parties. Maybe we can rent a garage/lift as a group if there are enough of us so we can all wrench on our cars together. Would love to learn from some experienced guys.

Thanks
