Video DIY tutorials on PeachParts

Hello everybody!
A long time ago I called Whunter to discuss setting up an operation in the lines of what Kent Bergsma is doing with **************. That would include video tutorials and a more dynamic parts section for DIY jobs at all skill levels. However, Whunter does not have much spare time with his job in addition to his online presence in the forum.



What are your thoughts or suggestions?
How much of a fee would you pay for having video tutorials and parts kits available? I do have all the equipment to make it possible.

In short, how can we make this work? Whunter, hop in, too!

This would only work if the intro for each video had Roy making fireballs with a torch.

Honestly I say we just come up with a partnership of sorts with Kent Bergsma as his compilation of videos are already extensive, well done, and covers a good number of topics. I've used a few of his recommendations before and they all echo what i've read here on the forum. If anything it would save a lot of time with duplicate threads.....

For example I checked his page again and i'm happily watching the trim video

A Solution to Restoring Oxidized ANODIZED Aluminum Trim on Older Mercedes Part 1, 2 and 3 - YouTube

At the end of the day we are all working towards the same goal, preservation.

When Roy came down for the Tech Session back in '07 I think it was, we had a videographer record some various things. I did an IP Timing session and one on how to put a harmonic balancer in place without damaging the crankshaft.

Roy did valve adjustment and a number of other things.

Unfortunately it turned out that the video's were unusable. It was sad too, because there were LOTS of things covered in those two days.
