I found that fire truck on display in a pawn shop in Las Vegas. Have had now about 12 years

I agree the dash looks great I am only updating the gauge panel

these old cars don't handle for **** and this one steers like it has flat tires. Trying to make it very comfortable and easy to drive.

Time for the Wagon to get all the rest of the bells and whistles. New power rack and pinion steering, new upper and lower control arms, sway bar, coil over shocks. Disc brakes all the way around, air conditioning, new digital dash. New serpentine pulley system on the front of the motor. Who...

Installed this Challenger 10,000 lb lift in my new retirement man cave. This whole thing has been a long time coming, very happy with the lift.

Garage is finally done and ready to use. The Nova needs a few things done and then I can put my 63 Nova Wagon on the rack and get started on it. Putting in all new Power Rack and Pinion steering, upper and lower tubular control arms, sway bar and coil over shocks. The motor in the corner is done...

finally got it painted, cleaned up and a few signs hung up. Spent part of the day getting the peddle car up on the wall. More signs to hang but that will be another day. Need to work on getting compressor room in corner done and lines run. Time to start using the shop and putting front brakes on...

small update on the man cave build. Finally got the new 100 amp service completed and electrical in the garage completed. Insulation is in and sheetrock was delayed as my installer and his brother both came down with Covid. While they couldn't come out I decided to install some of the sheetrock...

Garage is 80% complete when this pic was taken. Currently all insulation is installed and sheet rock started. The lift is a Challenger rated at 10,000 lbs

I have started installing R-19 in the walls and will install R-30 in the ceiling. You must be from this area since you know the Diablo Valley area

You are correct the light areas in the back of the shop are the areas I need to still finish the siding. I was originally not going to put windows in but I am now leaning toward installing a couple of horizontal windows up high so it doesn't interfere with shelving I may want to install.

I have done about 80% of the work myself. I had all the concrete done, I had someone set the trusses and someone else do the roof and gutters. I am upgrading my electrical service from 100 amp to 200 amp service so the garage will have its own power and not interfere with the house. Now waiting...

This 28' X 21' garage has been a long time coming. I am to old to be working on the floor to work on the cars. Building this additional garage behind the house strictly for working on the toys. It is about 75% complete, need to finish the exterior siding and get it painted before the rains...
