SO I am thinking, TCZC needs a MAINTENENCE MEET...radiators, brake bleeds, anything else one may desire....I am looking to those of you who know you've neglected something AND/OR those of you that may have hoist or decent garage setup.

I have a sweet two car garage setup for detailing/light-medium mechanics and I would be happy to host for cleanups....however, someone with a hoist or three car it'd be nice to slam some cars through and take care of some random cleanups we need.

Thoughts?

I like that idea. However, First Car Garage has the lifts, the space, and the tools to host a party like this. Just a thought.

BTW, I'm looking for an engine stand. I'd like to put this L26 engine on it so I can tinker and clean and upgrade parts.

My plan is to be able to rebuild the Z engine for either a backup or main engine. I want to see if I can actually clean it up and modify it to make it better than new. I want to try and install the triple carbs on it.

So if anyone knows someone who is selling a used one, I'll entertain the idea of buying it.
