Thanks! :) I get a little compulsive-obsessive when I get on a project and the garage has taken a back seat to the 69 Scout build. Its been used and abused so good to take a step back and give it a little attention!! I’ve got a few other projects lined up for the garage including an awning over...

Finally :willy_nil started organizing and putting my tools in the work bench. Foam is from Cascade Tool & Foam. Went with the Value Line 4-lb XPE ½ blue for top and ¼ red bottom from their specials page. Got a couple done and will work on the rest this week. Jay

This is Daisy Mae. She’s a one year old Corgi. Recently she got a sidekick – Maggie Mae! :pimpflash Jay

Project wise we have completed most of the drivetrain on the 69 Scout and need to finish body and paint work. Here is how it is sitting now. We did fab up our own bumpers. Not fun but we think they turned out pretty good. More info on Binder Planet in our build thread if you are...

We used a Katko KEM340UL Y/R Motor Disconnect Switch since the compressor is in another room. I got this one off of Ebay. Installed a Moisture Minder automatic drain at the bottom of the tank and plumbed the discharge line outside. Also upgraded all of the fittings with Prevost Safety...

With the new compressor we searched on GJ for the best system to plumb air into the shop. We decided on black pipe and most was bought at Lowes and HD. Pretty much followed the TP Tools diagram and tips I found here on GJ. Here is the initial plan: Almost 20' of pipe before the first...

Wow! Time – where does it go?? I am way behind updating this build! We have been concentrating on the 69 Scout build but recently that project was put on hold while I knocked out some long neglected honey-do’s and some (finally!) work on the garage. I have been using a Craftsman oilless 33...

Installing this Quincy QT-54. Had to build an addition to house it! :)

Awesome job dubber! :thumbup: Always checking in to see your great progress!! Keep the pics coming! Jay

Hey thanks!! They are unique and addicting – you’ll have to get her one!! :D Well sorry I have not updated this but we have been working on the 69 and it has taken up a lot of time and more $ than I anticipated! Still in the mockup stage! I did manage to get an overhead beam installed for a...

Hey thanks! I have to admit I spend a lot of time in this garage and that is the great thing about GJ – sharing what each of us has done in their garage. I need to update this thread! I think the swamp cooler in your area may not be the best approach. It has to be pretty dry to make it function...

You will, my friend, if you hang out here long enough!! :) Jay

Thanks and we have been following along on your garage build too. Great garage and cars!! Would love to visit France one day!! Hey thanks! We have been watching your build and that is going to be one sweet Scout when you are done! Hope you don’t mind :) but you may see some similar mods...

Thanks! I used the heater a lot in January as we finished up the Scout 80 and I was pleasantly surprised that the electric bill did not go up appreciably. Also, well, we are part of the crazy weather but the opposite of the east coast. We were in the 80’s this past weekend and have had a very...

So far I love the heater for this size garage and our location. It is quiet and keeps the garage nice and warm. I usually only run it when I’m in the shop working and it takes about 15 minutes to bring up the temp. Lately we have been in the high 20’s to low 30’s at night with daytime temps in...
