    Hey TacomaWorld

    For years I have been wanting to put together a group of guys who really want to help each other with their builds. It's my experience that most guys have a talent or specialty with some aspect of toyotas, wheeling, racing, mechanics, etc...
    It my goal to get a list of guys and note their specialty. My father is in a classic car club and they have something like this and they are able to help each other out and make some beautiful/badass cars. They save a lot of money by trading work with one another.

    I would like to have a list that we can use with guys who are willing to trade work, donate work or supervise, or maybe do work at a discount for tw members.

    Personally I truly enjoy using what I've learned to help others. If I can do anything to help another guy or girl enjoy their ride it's a win for me.

    I figured I'd post this as a feeler and see if there is anyone who may be interested.

    I am going to start with guys in so cal since that's where I live.

    Shoot me a pm if ur interested or just comment with what you can offer up. Doesn't matter how big or small.

    You'd essentially have to keep it regional for a hands on approach. There are plenty of talented people on here. I love the idea as there are many things that I would like to have more hands on training with, but don't have the tools/knowledge to complete. Best of luck to ya :cheers:

    I was a painter before I went back to school eight years ago. Used a lot of different products in a lot of different applications. Nothing automotive, but I'll be experimenting on my first gen before long and I've rattle canned with good results on my front bumper and a few sets of wheels. Not many other things that may be applicable to this thread - tutoring calculus and teaching guitar lessons I guess? haha I am rebuilding a 5vz right now. Wouldn't mind finding a person with engine building skills :thumbsup:

    Thanks for the thread idea - I hope it takes off!

    Awesome man, painting experience is something I am not good at and always frustrates me. I'll add that to your name. If you have any questions about your 3.4 lemme know I can help u or if need be we can set aside some time to come lead you a hand.
