One of the things that would help is to limit your computer time. We are heading into winter now, and you are losing your daylight hours. Commit yourself to not posting or checking the forum until 5pm. Going in for lunch and "checking up on posts" is just robbing you of work time.

I don't even give a **** about the finished job... I'm just cheering to see a photo of a filled roll-off ready to go to the dump!

Eric... your garage is awesome! You seem to be doing what I've been doing as well, scrounging across S. Ontario, and "saving" all of the free junk! Love it! You described the "family auto pile" a few pages back, and mentioned the '54 Bel air... any chance of a restoration in it's future? Any...

Great looking shop! I enjoy looking at the ones with the vintage vibe as well. Did you happen to get a photo of the shop that you got the "Brake Jobs" sign off of? Would just be cool to have a photo of it in it's original home...

Today things started to move a little more quickly. It's surprising how much you can do once you don't have to wait for drying time any more. All I had left to paint this morning was one more coat of yellow for the bead board. While it was drying I started to bring the upper cabinets out and...

Brent... It's a retirement home across the road. I'm not sure which one of them ditched it! There may be 40 rooms there...

Thanks rmckee! I also forgot to mention... In August I had a new shed built. It has taken all of the bigger spare car parts, the spare tractor and all of the garden tools out of the way. Since this pic was taken I have painted and skirted it. I'll have to get a recent one later...

Another couple of days of painting. Waiting for drying time is no fun! I had this little base cabinet in the basement, and gave it 3 coats of paint and new hardware... Also had this base cabinet that the former owner of my house left behind. It was full of old glass fuse boxes and 1950's...

Hey JP... I'm up here in Ontario, Canada. I'd love to help you out on the wheel problem, but need to keep the ones I have. Both my Massey's I found with the factory tires, and my drivers are getting pretty worn. I had to buy one front tire, and I couldn't find a factory style one. I'm down...

Today I tore down the old bench and the shelf above it...

I sanded the cabinet down, and applied a primer coat. I also got rid of the veneer back board and cut some pine bead board. Here's where I'm at now. I still have some work to do to figure out where it will fit in the garage, and how I'm going to adopt more shelving and some logos to it....

This past summer Jane and I went to the VCCA's (Vintage Chevrolet Club of America) 50th Central Meet in Port Huron, Michigan. While we were there we hit a Hobby Lobby...a treat for us since there are none in Canada. I bought these drawer pulls, and brought them home knowing I would have to...

Here's mine... after a quick paint job.

This weeks favourite...

I used a rim as well... now looking for a wide white bias ply to put on it because the rim will hop across the garage as I'm using it!

Nice job you're doing. The old Chevy truck rocks too! Your garage caught my eye since it's a detached like mine... I'm watching to see where you go with this!

Open a photobucket account... it's way easier!

Finished up the Grinder today. I just need to do the plexi-guards.

Nice looking place! How do we all get ourselves invited to next years party??!! Not sure about fixing the grade though... sounds like you could of had a money maker in the repair business by leaving it the way it was! I'll be watching this thread, and can't wait to see some of your work...

I've been sanding and painting away at my bench grinder now. I'm going to paint it up to match the vice. The ends of the motor will be black, and all of the guards are a darker metallic silver. I touched up the tag with some gloss black as well. Masking it peeled some of the black off...
