Great idea.....As you stated before, specialize in one make of vehicle, make it a clean class act and go for it. It is surprising how many vehicles you can work with not much more than an acre of land.

I remember quite a few years ago, while going to school in Tulsa, OK, there was a family of dismantlers that each of the brothers specialized in a different make at their yards. You could walk in and there would be racks with nothing but hoods marked with year models & fit. Engines, trannies, accessories were cleaned, new fluids, plugged, enclosed in plastic and shelved. No rusting, polluting hulks covered in oil and filth. Quite an operation. Not sure if they are still run that way as that was in the 70's. But definitely would be an operation to visit and study.

I still support the idea.

Just remember me if you come across another 5-speed.
