I'm not a fan of overalls, I never feel that I have enough freedom in them. Gloves can be worn and I have been known to use them for some of the nastier jobs like oil changes etc, but I like to be able to feel what I am doing - touch is a very important sense for mechanics. You will have to get a fairly old car for me to be able to do much with it, modern cars are not designed for the amateur mechanic! Well we were wearing old clothes.
