Agreed, it took me about 2 years to talk myself into it! It has 2 baffles and a sump. I actually went with the FJ62 version and and was going to try and run a Toyota EFI pump but I didn't have a stock pump hanger and Toyota quit making them, a used hanger was about $300 bucks. I looked at...

It's from Long Range Automotive out of Australia, sold through Cruiser Brothers in the US: https://cruiserbrothers.com/brands/long-range-automotive/ I looked for a long time and even looked at building a custom tank, but this tank fits well and has been used by quite a few. Once I confirmed my...

Yeah, no shame in saying wiring isn't my strength, should be fun. I'm not planning on any major body work, its fairly straight but has its share of dents and dings. I plan on rocking the krylon paint job for quite a while, just want to get it driving and work out the kinks and I'll eventually...

It's been great, use it a lot. We only have a few months of "nice" weather in Houston so I was afraid we wouldn't be able to use it all the time but its turned out to be pretty awesome. We've thrown quite a few backyard parties and eat dinner out there quite a bit, plus the kids are always...

Here is the SS. Pretty much stock except for the headers/x-pipe and intake. One of the best cars Chevy made in my opinion...the mag ride, Brembos and LS3 are a good combo along with a comfy interior. The FJ60 is still a work in progress. I traded a 72 C-10 for it after shopping for one for...

Congrats! That's a good area, we have some family off Wirt. I want to see pics of the Broncos...my good buddy has one that is going through its 3rd reincarnation...those things are awesome. Thanks. Kids have definitely changed our routines but they are awesome. I'll put up some car pics...

Been a while. Where to start. In Nov 2016 the contractor I was working for decided to close our US office, even though our client had plenty of work. This led to my coworkers and I starting our own consulting business in Jan 2017. Fast fwd a couple years and the operator we were working for...

My Tig experience is limited but its high on the list for when my garage gets built. Thanks for the kind words on the gate, we've really enjoyed it so far. I didn't want to post an update until I had actually started demo but we are planning to get started on the garage again as soon as I can...

Electrical looks great, I'm on board with all the outlets. And great score on the welder, looks to be in great shape.

Thanks, definitely an exciting time for us, didn't want the financial strain during that time if we could avoid it...we're very fortunate and thankful to be in that position. I work "for" an operator yes...subsea deepwater construction is my background. Happy Holidays to everyone, be sure...

I've been avoiding this update, but the garage build has been postponed to next year. I work in the energy industry and it has slowed down considerably. I'm fortunate to have kept my job thus far, and with junior on the way we've decided to hold off on the garage until we are ready. My hope...

Your hard work has paid off, fantastic garage.

Here are some pics of the mag lock for you... Thank you sir. Appreciate it, I would love a C7! BUT, I think a 67 chevelle is in my future! I also have a CB350 to finish and an 87' 325 Lemons car to build...projects are stacking up.

Agreed, cost is a bit higher but it was almost a must have with how much wind area my gate has. I really needed something to hold it closed so that the opener was holding all of that load. The opener is the Liftmaster LA500, it's working well so far. I'll have to look at it to get the...

The installer for the gate opener finally made it out. It takes about 15 -18 seconds to open or close, the mag lock doesn't latch immediately and takes a few seconds to apply. Here are a few pictures of the semi-finished product. I will need to trench the power supply to the control box...
