Thank you, the buggy has definitely been my longest project and I really enjoy using it, breaking it, fixing it, using it and building it better each time. Its super capable for such an easy and old crawler. Thanks, I am all over the place on projects. Really thinking about what I want to...

So funny that you posted that up when you did.....I am looking at tearing apart the frontend on the buggy to get more steering out of it. I want to do it, but I also want a new project to work on =) Thank you very much. Sean

So I have found that this whole boredom thing is challenging me a lot. I usually go from project to project and have gone months without a real project to work on. The garage has definitely had some good benefit from this, its about spotless in there now. I did manage to replace the broken...

Nice place......following along with the build. I recognized the username before the prop picture. Sean

Pretty simple actually, cut the brace out of flat metal, layout the holes and cut them, usually with a hole saw but I also have a plasma cutter with a circle cutting jig that works really well. The key is having a dimple die set. It is a clamshell design that just rolls the edge of the hole...

Portland Oregon. I looked for years and years to find a place in town with a little shop. I have a bit of an older house in an older neighborhood though. Things around here are now built on 5,000 sq. ft. lots. My place is just under a half acre so its a nice size. I have lots of parking too...

Yeah I get around a little bit =) I like a little variety in life so I don't stay in just the jeeps, or volvos or mustangs or classics. I spread it out all over the place and a little bit at GJ too. There are some killer builds on all of the forums, some of the garages here are crazy and I...

Yeah I should really get on here more often. I like the site here lots of like minded fellas. Its on Lat G See build thread below http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=43485&highlight=hackster Sean

Thanks, I unfortunately sold the LSX Volvo a few months ago to help pay for the repairs necessary on the rental house.....I was actually sad to see it go. I generally build things to keep them, but I usually end up building them for some big event and then selling them. People generally get a...

Been working on a few things over the past few years in the shop and it got to be a pretty good mess (for my standards) and lots and lots of cars in and out of the shop. Had a little break in the action as funds have dried up a little bit the past few months with some stupid house projects at...

I cannot believe out of all the brilliant minds on here that there is no ideal storage solutions for this? Mine like everyone elses is stored on the garage floor taking up space. My problem is that my garage is not huge by any means at 20' deep so taking up 2' of depth is a real loss for me...

Looking for some creative and clean ways that you store your engine hoist out of the way and uncluttered... Pics would be awesome!! Mine folds up but no matter where I put it it seems to be in the way. Still a 2'x2' floor area that is being consumed 99% of the time. Ill get a photo later...

Wow!! I looked at this and was suprised at all the comments. Thanks guys. All of this stuff has been really fun to work on believe it or not. Any input on what to do with the cherry picker? What do you do with yours and how do you store it out of the way? For those looking for more...

Well.....been a bit busy the last almost year or so with lots of time both at work and out in the shop. Cranking out some pretty cool cars this last year out of this little garage. Not a lot compared to most of the crazy huge garages. I am pretty happy with everything but decided this weekend...

We do a lot of work on commercial buildings and fall protection is a necessary evil. I agree with the prious posters suggestion about the deceleration devises and the calculations are about right. What you really need to determine is whether you are planning on falling off the roof or not? If...
