Likewise! Your old Dymo Labeler has been a staple for me lately and I'm reminded of your generosity every time I use it

Been a while but I wanted to show off my newest Garage addition since it's a big one. Life goes on and I've been busy with the 9-5, side jobs, plus my newest "gig" managing 5 rental doors. One is a single family home from 1913 downtown 1 city over - ended up being a fully gut and reno that I...

Love this thread and all the detail! I usually give it a month or two before checking in so I can binge projects and as an added benefit it gives me drive to finish one of my own. Noticed you used zip ties for all your cables in the back of your rack. It's semi permanent so makes sense but an...

Congrats on the new place! I know moving is a total bummer especially with all the memories of fixing up your old place and your family starting there but you're going to be happy in about a year when things finally settle. Sounds like you're closer to your dad's shop now too which should be a...

Your widebody Z - it wouldn't happen to be RB swapped with SC400 front suspension would it? Looks eerily similar to one a buddy of mine had maybe 10-12yrs back. Wrong area geographically but stranger things have happened I'm a Z nut as well, currently have a 76 280z and 91 300zx that's under...

I'm way behind on updates so a lot will be skipped but this has been my last few weeks. I finally got a "real" air compressor. It puts out about 9CFM which is a little small for my blast cabinet but with an accessory tank I shouldn't have any issue as seldom as I really use it. Runs very...

Nick if you need help with anything please reach out - luckily my house was missed in all the madness. I'll be out of town tomorrow for work but if all that's holding you back is a chimney cap I'd be more than happy to whip something up out of scrap steel from around the shop tonight. A few...

Just found this thread and the similarities between us are pretty uncanny. I also work as a Mechanical Engineer, same size shop, same wall covering choice, and similar tool setups even down to the brands. Currently trying to score the old bridgeport from work. Haven't posted updates in a...

I actually saw your Wagoneer parked there when we were at Ace growler Saturday strapped down with the kiddos. I had a peek and remarked to my wife on how clean it was, perfect day for a drive!

Love the shop, definitely one of my favorites - I've been following for years. You do amazing work How are you storing all of these motors in a shop that size though? And keeping track of all the internals/accessories? I've got like 4 or 5 and I'm almost overwhelmed!

Here's the far bay for reference as I guess it's changed since my last photos. I need to snap one of that far wall but it's basically full of cabinets for paint/chemical storage and shelves with car pars

It's been quite a while since I've updated. Being a Dad to two kids under 2 is quite time consuming. In addition I've been taking on evening and night work as a part time fabricator/mechanic/handyman to help with finances and having extra "toy" money. As such my garage has been getting a lot...

Love the vehicles and garage is progressing very fast! Can't wait to see how it turns out

Snapped a pic last night of the lights all finished up. Makes "The Shed" look almost complete. Crusher run is next on the list so I won't have to keep boards over top of the mud pits Also spent a few hours cleaning out the little barn/garden shed thing that the PO's son built when he was...

I found this: http://www.aifittings.com/catalog/siding-mounting-blocks/siding-box-kits-for-fixtures-and-gfcis/ It's not quite the same but I would imagine it could be made to work. I ended up buying from eBay since shipping was the fastest although a lot of major online vendors have them...
