They'll have tours of their facility as well. This is a GREAT local company that has a lot going for them, both in company philosophy and product. They were kind enough to reach out to me after hearing of my deuce project and offered to host my project at their shop. I get to use their facility, tools, and have people to help me with my project from time to time. Again, can't say enough about them.

Stationed in CA years ago and the base used to have automotive garage bays for rent (with all tools). You brought your car (or truck), paid up, and you had almost everything you needed to get anything automotive done. They also had a full-time mechanic on staff for support, and to bounce ideas off of.
I think liability killed the whole concept, but it was such a great program. It was likely one of those great big sunny California ideas that got killed by corporate oversight.
But how sweet would it be for a place (like this Local Motors in the PNW), where SS people without the big resources could work on their vehicles (individually or collectively). Anybody else on the map (CONUS/ OCONUS), got deals going on with their own neighborhood "Local Motors", like WRMorrison here in AZ?
Maybe there's a template out there to work from. It sure would be a nice set-up. Any feedback?
(I should probably make this a free-standing thread and see if it can grow any legs, and steer out of the hijack zone. And if a moderator sees this and can tell me how to do that I'll get it done).
