I am traveling. I will send a pdf of our plans. Hope this helps.

I think your inlays for the tools in your drawers are outstanding! I like having every tool in its place, either in drawers or tool boards, and also knowing when there are tools missing. Here are pictures of drawers of my lathe and how the tools are laid out (I did not make these), and...

Meet truck two. 1966 Custom Camper bought this summer August 2023 from a collector in Ohio. In my research of Chevy trucks, I researched Custom Campers. The custom camper model is two year option for this body style 1965 and 1966. Numbers were approximately 9000 of 60000 of 1966 3/4 ton...

Meet Truck number one. "Gross" 1966 Custom Camper bought in October 2016. The truck is called Gross because of the gross weight placards that came with the truck, and because the first words from my wife when she saw the truck was GROSS! LoL. So here is the story. I bought this truck to use...

I have a 1966 coupe owned since 2005, silver/black with original drive train 327/350hp PS/PB/AC. It has mostly original paint, very faded. I am completing a complete rebuild of the dive train. Most major components are finished. Last pieces are the front end, A/C, engine bay wiring harness and...

Thank you! I am just about done. Some additional pictures testing the folding action and of the stand folded when not in use. I finished fabing the gauge housing and need to now get the wiring and plumbing completed.

The final drive was poured and finished. We now have our our own street name Stingray Alley!

Then the new driveway and connection to the original driveway was prepared.

With the basic footprint of the building established, We decided to pour an extra slab next to the building for parking/expansion and the preparation for the driveway was started.

The next step was laying concrete blocks, rebar, filling the blocks with concrete, and pouring the slab. Before the slab was poured the rough runs for electrical were dug. Once the slab was poured, the concrete block foundation was finished.

Starting this summer we broke ground, and the footers for the foundation were prepared.

We decided to buy a metal building for our project and chose Steelmaster. The building was delivered on a flatbed, unloaded with a forklift. I have attached the basic plan, what it will look like and the elevation views our architect and engineers produced.

Happy Holidays! Upfront, I am blessed to have a wife who supports my addiction to tools, and everything mid 1960s Chevrolet. I am going to post pictures from this summer to present day with progress so far. I will also weave in projects as we make progress. Background. After 3 years of planning...

Hey all, I used the Caswell kit with great results. I have attached before and after parts for my 66 Chevy C20 shop truck project.

My vote is keep as found and clean carefully. Great find! Show some actual pictures when you can.
