How-to?

[76ChevyTrucker]

All right, I threw this idea at Fly this morning as to whether or not there should be a "how-to" sub-forum in the Tech Section thread for all of us who do our own repair work, or those of us that would like to get started, but are unsure of what to do. Its just an idea, but I'd like to get some real feedback on this one because I would love to be able to post repair proceedures and pictures and stuff like that so's I can help out my fellow C&G'ers when it comes to repairs and in general fixin' stuff.

Youse guys should post in here too, not just vote, ya slackers!

I would definitely read it.

I can do the most basic things that don't require instructions (no dirty minds, please), so no one would benefit from my sharing. However, for more complicated items, I'm all for the more "hands on" people posting "how to." We just have to agree on topics or find out how to cull topics from all the possibilities.

Thanks.

Well, what we could do is take some of the things from the Tech Section and post the repair procedures and then as more people have questions about them, we can post updates and more procedures as time goes on. By the way, how'd the tune up go on the Regal?

We have a Tech section?

I would contribute, but the bulk of my experience is probably more hands-on than most questions would probably deal with. IE; I can give a good overview of pulling a body off the frame, but I don't see that question coming from the members here. I've done an awful lot over the years, tho. Give it a go.

Yeah, we have a Tech Section. I know what you mean on that one balth, I've taken apart several other vehicles, but I really doubt seeing how anyone would want to know how to shim up the fender/door gaps on a '73-'87 pick-ups, moreso than just to change the brakes on their car. I thnk it would be a good idea overall to have a How-To section since we're as deversified as a web site as compared to other, vehicle specific, websites.
