That`s what I would call real tool "****".....:D And I like it! Awsome work man, love that attention to details. Hope you`ll take some next project pretty soon.

After blasting it looked much better: Altough pretty much like Swiss cheese. On the rottisserie for sanding and priming

Some more nice shots, that caddy was in fantastic shape :D Triple-layer floor: Repair done by some master-craftsman I wonder who lived here: there was even bigger nest another side. Lower part of the rear fender

When you ask about the Cadillac I started in 2010. (see pg 1) Then it didnt really worked out as I planned. Life made its changes and I had to go back to my old job, to be sure theres decent paycheck every month. The backround story for that is that one day my neighbour (we live in a big...

380 V is 3 phase so-called "industrial power" but its in 99% of households. Amps are different 16, 25, 32, 63 ....... depends of how much you need and are willing to pay. Most machines use this 380V power- drill presses, concrete mixers, bigger saws, heaters, vent systems, lathes, bench...

When looking back to the top of the page, you can see how empty the shop was when started, now its a bit different view: I have spent some money to buy (or build myself) many new tools, mainly sheet metal fabrication stuff: Lincoln MIG, Everlast AC/DC TIG/MMA/PLASMA, big spotwelder, old...

Hi! Is it allowed to update the topic ONCE IN A 2 YEARS?....:headscrat If yes, then I tought I put up some small progress pics. Done during past 2 years, small overview. As I started my build in november and it was really heavy winter after that, then in spring....... one morning when I went...

Super nice pics and cars in this super nice garage thread! Makes me also think about shop parties....

Correct, I will keep you updated about the prgress. Thanks for your support!

Don`t have much plans for wall graphics and things like that, it is still a metal fabrication room and in some weeks it will be one dusty cave. Maybe just add a stripe between white and blue. By now, the workshop looks like this: Some real basic tools and benches right now, more to come in...

Absolutely beautiful! Its so nice and clean, that most probably I would not do any work in there, just sit and look my cars:) Nice build too, however its pretty weird to see, that you quys in California can pour directly to the ground. No winters, no problems! Beautiful cars too!:drool:

Now when the shop is usable, i started doing some basic workbenches and shelves. I have a vision in my head where and how the cabinets, benches and shelves should locate and how these are made. But as the first customer already wants to bring in his car, I have to postpone my cabinets-build to...

Thanks, these are just concrete-block walls that I saved when ripped down old barn. These are pretty strong and make a good startpoint for new building.

Yeah, correct. I use that page to convert the measures. http://www.metric-conversions.org Didn`t use minus, right now, its -13 F outside. Sorry for that. OK, after we had completed the rendering and smoothing out most of the block joints inside, it was time to paint. White and light-blue...

As I am not much of a stone-work guy, a good friend helped me a bit and rendered some parts of the inner walls. Surroundings of the man entrance and some more injured spots here and there. I started fabricating the garage door at the same time. At first I wanted to use lift-up door but the...
