Thanks everyone. This is what I was able to do this weekend. I appreciate all of the good ideas. I was looking at aluminum angle for the trim, but decided to go with extruded aluminum angle that is used on steps. It is not as nice as Boyd's, but I was very happy with the results.

I picked up this torch set up for $20 today. I know that the regulators are prest-o-lite. The torch is a Victor. I will clean it up this weekend and check everything out. Does anybody have any info on this? I will use it in the shop for small jobs. I know that it is an older set. Will...

Wow. very nice

This workbench started out as a pallet rack that was too tall for my shop. We just chunked the 3 foot tall leftovers outside. Then I realized it would be about right for a workbench. I took a 8 foot long peace of plywood. The other 2 foot is covered with some metal doors that fit perfect. I...

Thanks, I do want it to look good. I will post pics. Whatever I do

Welcome. I am also from the NTX area. I wanted to build a shop here, but land is so expensive. We looked at finding a home with land, but we really love our hood. So I purchased a shop in Oklahoma. It is about 2 hours from home, but I get wkends with my dad and my boys, mom gets some down...

Welcome. Have fun. Be careful this site is like crack.

I was just about to ask what Double B asked. I have a new workbench with a plywood top. I was going to just paint it. This top will not be for heavy metal work or for beating things apart. I have other benches for that. I just want an inexpensive pant that will help keep oil and water from...

Love it.

They are very small. I was just asking dad if we needed to move the wells in a bit. He thought it would be OK if we just use the right offset. My first car was a 66 Falcon. The rear tires were just a little big and they would rub on the corners as well. We took a bat and rolled the inside...

No dragster for me. Dad and I try to make it to a National event every year. This was one of a few of the Nostalgic race cars they had in Ennis , TX this year. I just love old metal.

I love a dream shop that is completely finished out. But I come from the school of make what you can or find what you want for free. I will spend the money where it is needed if I can, but I love how you have repurposed so many things. I hope you are proud of your workshop. I would be.

Love your shop. No matter how big you build it, it could be just a little bigger. Wow!

Love the 64. You don't see many of them anymore. This was our family car when I was very young. Like you I live away from my father, so it is weekend trips for the restore. When I was 16 dad had a set of the ss cragers on it just like yours. Love that look. Good to see you guys have taken...

Got back to the shop this weekend. We wanted to get everything out of the Fairlane and start the glass cleanup. We also decided to get all of our tools together to see what we had. Dad like many people, had is shop toolbox stolen. Many of his tools were stored in buckets and small tool...

Dream car.

Very well done. Would like to just walk around inside. Old school cool.

Wow. Built for a man who knows what he wants. Thanks for the pics.
