Wrenches and mind for rent

Post by Mopar 151 »

OK - if you don't know, I'm on layoff, and on pittance-level unemployment. So as not to completely lose whatever is left of my mind, and keep the lights on around here, i'm looking for some side jobs - not charity, but if we can help each other out without Uncle Sam being involved... 8-) 8-)

Stuff I can do:
Engine design and custom cam selection with Engine Analyzer Pro
Chassis setup consultation, using Southard School methods and MS Excel "active spreadsheets"
2 NEHA Championships as a driver, numerous FTD's, Additional championships/wins as a preparer, refrences. also 2nd gen tech inspector in oval track - intimate with the insides of top- running cars since childhood, seen some really sneaky stuff....

Race car wiring and plumbing, with proper engineering and documentation - 40 years auto/motorsports experience, familiar with CE, ISO, SAE, JIC, AN standards and interchanges, industrial experience high-temp equipment, automation.

Specialzed component repair, adaptation, integration and upgrade - specialising in American stock car technology. Mopar racer, Chevrolet partsman, "Ford Man" since birth. Machinist with limited shop access (at KDL Mold, at the end of my street - thanks, Dave!), extensive repair & adaptation experience including FAA certified aircraft work.
Also component sourcing, new and used/online, with hands-on knowledge, and years and thou$andS of my own money in experience.

Prices by negotiation, terms barter or equivalent, Uncle none the wiser...

Basically, I'll be doing machining and metal spraying for journal and bearing case repairs. The sheer scale boggles :shock: my mind :ugeek: - the shop crane on the big side is a 50 ton bridge with sync-able winches.

I don't think any of our cars would have the power to turn those rollers. :shock:
