Dan, I thought about a steel roof but ultimately the shingles won out because we wanted to match the house. We have a LOT of money invested in this new house/shop build and I want to be sure it looks (and functions) right. Steel makes for a great roof cover and will no doubt outlast the...

Ok, small update because progress is not moving along like I would like it to, although it should pick up real soon. The roof shingles are on, the electrical is roughed in and the electric meter should be energized tomorrow, (8-21-13). Interior walls go up Friday and I'll finish the electrical...

Absolutely a clone. Even if I could afford to cut up a real one I wouldn't! :thumbup: Steve

Thanks! I briefly checked out your shop/build and it's very nice also!! I've learned that I needed to "discipline" myself when it comes to collecting things. If I had a 100' x 200' shop I would eventually fill that up! I purposely made my storage area smaller than I had previous to help me...

Thanks! I've been to GLD many times, but only 3 or 4 with this car. I don't race anywhere on a regular basis.... mostly just national events.

Thanks, As long as you asked....... here are a few pics of the car. 1970 Buick GSX (Skylark) Back-halved with ladder bars Stock Buick block 523 CI, 820HP Low 9's, 140+ MPH Future plans are to install my all aluminum TA Performance Tomahawk block and "possibly" a Pro-Charger. If I leave it N.A...

My last two previous shops were stick built and I like the way they match the house. Besides, I finish the inside off with drywall and plaster, (like a house) and that's much easier to do with a stick built vs pole building. Either one can be very nice, but I just decided to do stick again...

A little progress this week. Next week it should start looking more complete with the roof shingles going on. I set the meter base and the breaker box today, so I'm ready for some electricity! Steve

Isn't that the truth!!! Steve

Thanks Dan! No need to be jealous. We never seem to have exactly what we want. I want this one bigger, and if I had built it bigger it still wouldn't have been big enough! lol The other day I was looking at all my shop equipment, etc in the storage facility and I was thinking to myself, "all...

Well it's been a little while and here are some updated pics. I wasn't real pleased with the framing crew as I made them re-do a lot! I told them to "slow down and do it right the first time because it's going to take a lot longer to do it a second time!" All seems OK now. (although I didn't...

Thanks for the welcomes! The 3 course of block go on this weekend and the walls start going up next week. I'll post more pics soon. Thanks again, Steve

Hey Tim, How's it going? I got re-married 3 1/2 years ago and it's "new wife-new life", so along with a new house comes a new shop! Sold my blue GS this past winter and I only have the GSX drag car currently. Still building a lot of aluminum parts with SRE, although I'm on a break until my new...

Good Point, Thanks! Steve
