Thats great! Ive been wrenching since i could walk i work on rollercoasters now. Brakes are a great easy step into maintenance at home oilchanges alternators spark plugs suspension all great projects that can seem huge and involved at first but as long as you do everything properly (in a good and safe manner with the right practices) it can be truly fulfilling to do these simple things. Ive taught and helped quite afew people to do maintenance and they almost always love it and take so much pride in it. Just remember if you get into something you arent sure of ask every question you can to a trusted skilled friend or pay to have it done. Safety is priority.

It's not procrastination. It is analysis paralysis or at least hesitation. You want every variable, option, function known and worked out before beginning the project. Like putting a coil of copper tubing to cool the air out of the compressor in the Tundra. It is that attention to details that makes your shop very functional (and ever improving), your troubleshooting skills great, and your videos entertaining and informative. Great work Chris. Can't wait to see how the injector works out.

A little tip, just the tip, and only for a minute: *Mustie1* undercoating.... I've used it on multiple occasions to keep the jalopies together (and a few decent rigs also) The directions: You mix a gallon of Bar&Chain oil into a metal bucket with 2-3 wax toilet bowl rings. You then heat the bucket using a hot plate if you got one, or stick it near a Chinese diesel heater or Mr Buddy until the "sauce" is around 150-200 degrees and the wax rings are melted. You should prep the intended underbody with a wire wheel to remove loose rust and scale. Stir the mix with a paint stick once hot and apply to the underbody of a vehicle with a paintbrush. Drive down a dusty road immediately after application if possible. There is an excellent *Mustie1* video of the process if you look around in his past videos. Thanks for excellent content, the shop is frickin nice.

Way back in 60's lived in rural area with dirt roads in Canada . Roads were covered with salt then ( and still are ) in winter . Used to heat up used motor oil put it in fertilizer spray can that was pumped to spray the oil & coated the under body of my car. Immediately after, drove on dusty road to stop oil from dripping. The enviro nuts stopped this practice along with using old oil to keep dust down on the road in front of house. There are modern day rust stop applications including " RustCheK" that are a must in Canada, even though it costs about $100 CDN annually. Had a 20 year old Malibu with virtually no rust due to RustChek undercoating.
