:bowdown:Wow, well it looks great. You're a sick, sick, man.:beer::beer:

"Some pics of the 1954 GE I restored." So...did you paint that to match your Bird? Looks great!!

Dan- The silver inside the one cabinet is Silver Hammertone. I put a small LED light strip in the top and displayed some die-cast cars and a model 427 SOHC motor in it. I was originally going to use it for general storage, but once I got to thinking about those glass doors I figured I should...

Jack- the top is countersink drilled from the top and bolted thru the frame with 1/2" flathead allens. (used a mag based drill) I had to make it in pieces so I could put it in position and assemble it. The frame is pretty easy to move by itself. The top...not so much. I lifted the top up with a...

Took a couple more pix as I got a little more done. 1" thick steel top. 500 lbs and bolted to the wall and floor. Finally a bench that won't move around.

Not done yet, or moved in. But got the welders bench done. Weighs in right at 500 pounds. 1" steel top and a nice high quality Chineese vice. :bounce:

Those are cool. I saw them in a catalog, but don't remember where. Makes me think of "Hunt for Red October". :headscrat

I don't have any pix of mine, but I always have a tire plug kit in the car. Anyway a couple of years ago while traveling thru Alabama I had a tire go flat overnight at a motel. Next morning as I looked it over, I had another traveler that has stopped to offer help almost speachless when I...

I have these posted in another thread but saw this fridge thread and thought I'd move it over. I just got this finished, it's been down in the garage for about 8 years and the old brown paint was buggin me. It's a 78 model Kenmore that we bought when we got married. It was transferred to...

Speaking of Habitat...I drove past ours the other day and there on the curb was an old metal "Icebox" for sale. My wife had to almost restrain me from stopping and buying it.

Dan, the black cabinets have a VERY slight stippled look, but the other ones are pretty smooth. Not automotive paint "smooth"...but still real smooth. Good luck, Phil

The black cabinets were painted (latex) with a foam roller. The red ones were primed with Zinser 1-2-3 and a foam roller, then sprayed with a rattle can. The fridge was all done (oil) with a foam roller, except the door jambs, which I taped off and sprayed. It was a lot easier that way and it...

Yeah, what he said. I just refinished all the old wooden cabinets in a friends kitchen and I used the same thing. Finished them with a small foam roller added some new stainless hardware and they turned out fantastic.

Update- It's been cold here, so I finally had some time to work in the garage. I got another old cabinet repainted and mounted to put all my manuals in. Also got the old brown beer fridge sanded down, primed and repainted. I covered up the old woodgrained handles with some 3M prism tape to make...

No, I need to. It will be a lengthy project. :thumbup: We finished a 58 Vette recently and were able to keep a pretty good weblog on the C1registry (for first generation Vettes). I haven't been able to find anything like that for the early Birds. Here's a link to the Registry and the...

Not to hijack your thread, but here's a 55 Bird I'm helping with now. This is the biggest piece of rolling oxidation I have ever worked on. This thing had been settling down into a dirt floored shed since 1968. :shocking:

I haven't seen the 61-64 cab mounts in the flesh, but I did get to see some 61-64 floorpans at the F-100 Nats a while back and they are excellent.

Quote-I see some cuts in the body mount too - did you replace that or repair it? I had to replace the front mounts too. The 61-64 (4x2) mounts are all different than the 65-79. Had to make them then. Now you can buy new ones. (Carolina Classics for one) Later, Phil :thumbup: (also-the...

E-tek, great job on the old Slick!! A while back I did a pretty similar 64 F-100 project that was in about the same shape. They didn't make floors or mounts for those (61-64)then. I had the same rust issues with the tailgate too. One thing you might do since I see you like POR-15 is tape up all...

Just an "in progress" shot, but they're cabinets originally for office cubicles. Repainted and hung from angle brackets I had to make. They originally had some kind of propriatary hanger brackets on them for the cubicle partitions. The doors open out at the bottom and slide back into the top for...
