    My Shop Dream Come True

    its been awhile since i posted any updates..... I have since added some barndoors to divide the workshop and the car stall - easier to keep warm in the Winter. After 25 years in storage, the '59 "Lowlight" Karmann Ghia is alive! In search of 12 sec ET for 2015 season.....

I installed "return air filter" hinged louver panels in the ceiling, to allow the evap cooler to vent up through that attic space, and out the wall vents you can see in some of...

    My Shop Dream Come True
