i picked 95%.

I cant do anything with gears (transmissions or differential rebuilds) but I can do anything else. I didn't consider bodywork when voting. I can do minor fabrication, but rarely need to.


I dont have many tools, but thats because I travel/move a lot so i'm pretty light. I'm also pretty broke so I dont need tools as I have no big projects.

I can remove and engine, rebuild an engine and install it.

 

i wrech for a living so i can do pretty much anything...if i dont know how i can find out

 

I picked 100, but probably should have picked 95. I have torn an auto tranny down, but havent put it back together yet, and Im just learning body work. I have done gears before, but will probably get a hand next time. Besides that, I just dont trust others working on my truck unless they are helping me, or Im watching them.

Oh yea, I cant mount and balance tires or do my own alignment eigther

 

Where's the success rate for mods poll. How often do your mods work perfectly after you install them... LOL

 

Now that's a different story all together.

I don't understand how some of you guys can rebuild engines, but not a differential? A rearend is 10 times easier IMO.

 

I picked 90/10. I didn't pick 100 because I have not done my first tranny rebuild...yet but it will happen. I can do gear sets but have not done one on an automobile before. I am a tech and work on sea-doo's and atvs and have done Plenty of differential work on them cause I do have the dial indicators and mics neccesary, and on the sea-doo's they are fuel injected 4 stroke intercooled and supercharged so they are like smaller versions of auto engines. I have rebuilt a few superchargers on them and several motors...It's fun building engines that are meant to run all day long @ 8500rpm's. I am currently getting ready to build the Wood Hauler's 408 from the crankshaft up and I have done all the work to his truck up to this point, and have always done my own, so I am very confident in my abilities because I do it for a living.

 

I am 90/10 won't touch a trans at all, I can do everything else though. I quess the family having a oval track car before me helped alot. I think I have been wrenching since I was about 10, when I started racing go karts.

 

I picked 100...pretty much been involved with cars and the auto industry all my life. ASE master, advanced level engine performance, yada yada yada. One thing that I have learned...you never know everything, and there's always somebody who know's more than you. The best mechanics are the ones that are open minded and always willing to learn

 

I put 80/20. Mainly because there is still things I pay to have done. I can rebuild engines, transmissions, diff's, transfer cases, do body work and paint, etc. But I do pay for some stuff like driveshaft work, some exhaust work, window tint, etc. Still working on the PCM programming thing also.
I have many tools, and what I dont have my father has (especially body and fender tools). I used to have a blasting cabinet, parts cleaner, shop press, and a few other things, just no room to keep them anymore. Plus you use them so seldomly you are better of just making friends at a shop.

 

i picked 100. i won't do bodywork, but can. i'm not much into doing glass work (windshields, etc.), but could if needed. with the exception of an air conditioning certification test i'm certified in everything else. i used to do a/c work, but i'm too lazy to do that anymore and don't much care for it. i can rebuild transmissions, engines, rear ends, transaxles, program pcm's, etc. i can't think of anything i can't do if needed on a car/truck.
