perhaps we can carry this along with teh average guys car show concept. both projects would benfit greatly from one another.
for any tech article to be really good and useful there are a few things that it definately needs.
first is an exact list of tools, both required and recomended. jsut saying a socket set doesn't help those of us who use tools enough to regularly crack sockets or have lost tools. knowing the exact sizes of sockets/wrenches needed will make sure you are ready for the build ahead of time.
an exact parts list. if it is a common part like an open element jsut saying the dimensions and style is fine.
pics pics pics. describing the little whodingy in the corner of teh engine bay next to that thing with the pointy thing and the wires is not as good as having a picture with and arrow photochopped into it point at teh whodingy you are trying to describe.

a good starting point for any tech series is a stock, or basically stock vehicle since that is where most people who are new to working on their own car or starting a new project are gonna be.

later
