The first half of this week was brilliant! Now not so much... it's incredibly rainy here in North Vancouver. Too bad, I was hoping to do a door swap on my OBS Chevy dually this long weekend :(

This is so, so cool to see. I'm a fellow mechanical engineer by day and offroad/auto fabricator by night, so it's neat to see what you're doing in a realistic home shop that isn't some dressed up man-cave or a shop that's the size of the Taj Mahal. Absolutely subscribed for more shop/tool...

This is so awesome to see all done DIY as well as in such great detail! Definitely subscribed.

Looks awesome!! Love seeing updates from someone local.. now is a great time for garage work since we're in for rain for the next 3-5 months! Cheers, Joe

Hah! The fudged-truth I like to say is that "I have so many tools and such little space that I have no choice but to keep them organized.. for efficiency"... but at the end of the day I accept the fact that I just like the look of them all having their perfect place.

A fellow Vancouverite! Great job on all the projects and the excellent organization, it's music to my ears, figuratively hehe.

That's hugely informative, thank you!

Did you source the C6Z06 brakes locally or online (USA) and ship? Approximately how much did the setup cost (mainly just calipers+rotors)..? Cheers, Joe

That's awesome, great job!!

There are some crazy flooding videos floating around today, the sheer volume of water dropping without let-up is impressive. Hope your drainage and surrounding city sewer lines are flowing well and not overflowing!

Rad... subcribed! Do you have any build thread(s) on other forums for the cars? I'm in the process of jamming a "5.0L" snappy cam/heads/bottom-end aluminum 4.8L into a '89 notch. Cheers! Joe

That's too bad to hear about the CTS-V! If you're looking to unload it, I can ask around in my Greater Vancouver WhatsApp car chat (last time I checked it was 80+ people) and I'm sure we can find someone that wants to buy it as either a repair project, or to harvest the...

100% agree! Before Covid, I was travelling regularly for work and vacation.. something like 30 countries so far, and while it is always bittersweet to leave a foreign place and have to head home, as soon as the plane would descend on final approach to YVR and the Cypress/Grouse/Seymour...

Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing. Unless if it's a racecar.. then it needs to be falling apart right after it crosses the finish line. Nice work and I totally agree on those rebar height standoffs.. gotta let that concrete pour be as close to full-thickness for as much of the area as...

This shop is so rad! As soon as I read the shop size in the thread title, then saw the rendered floorplan and the overall aesthetic of the structure, it immediately made me think of the 44'W x 38'D shop that I have designed for and have been building with my friend on a "small Gulf Island"...
