Yes, but I can get my own work signed off much easier than having to have an A&P do the work at a much higher labor rate, field approvals and 337's are not as much of an issue, and considering the amount of grief the FAA put me through over the 3,000 hour Pegase life limit, I don't want to have any more contact with their bureaucracy than is absolutely necessary.

ps. I already do some stuff for the local A&P for other aircraft he is working on. I.E., machining, welding, electrical, O2 system installations, etc.

My understanding is there is little difference between Exp and Standard catagories as far as maintenance and repair work. Both must be done under the supervision of, and signed off by certified persons. That means you can do the work provided those rules are met. I believe this is often confused with a homebuilt aircraft, which operate as experimental but under a different set of rules: the manufacturer can always work on their aircraft, and the builder is considered to be the manufacturer. Not true of a German built glider operating with an experimental certificate. That is my understanding, and I'd like to be corrected if it is wrong.

That is exactly correct. The builder of a homebuilt experimental aircraft (could be a glider) is usually issued a Repairman license for that particular aircraft by serial number.
The only other real difference is who can sign of a major alteration or repair. Generally a FAA from 337 isn't required for experimental aircraft. (There are some exceptions.)
