Here's some work in progress. A knee wall being added to the loft in my shop that I framed to hold my stereo and speakers. The amp is a Yamaha HT-5660 and the speakers are old JBL L-100s my Dad bought back in the early 70s that I inherited. The system is hooked up to DirecTV for music (blues are...

Re: hot rod garage in the works.38x56 Great idea on those lights. If you don't mind, I'm going to file that away for a future build. Really like all the stuff you've been doing here.

My byb isn't bolted down. I have the wheel kit to move it around and have had no issues with sloping floor, either. The jack up cars, I have the rolling jack tray and an air jack. I also sometimes use floor standing screw jacks (2500Lb capacity each) to lift axles. The floor jack height starts...

Great video, Jack. So many ideas here that I'm inspired to start a second phase of upgrades to my shop. Phase 1 was about 7 years ago and thanks to yours and others threads on this site, I now see many things I would like to have done differently - I can fix some of them in Phase 2. Again, great...

I have had a Backyard Buddy since 2003. I like the stability, strength and safety they engineered into it. I checked out every 4-post lift at "The Big Boy's Toys" commercial display at Reno's Hot August Nights that year and the Backyard Buddy was the only one that I couldn't make to shake when...

Fantastic build. George and his crew are that rare find of craftsmen in building construction that take deep pride in all they do. They obviously feel deeply that what they leave behind is a reflection of themselves and that it is of the highest and integrity. onemoretry, I like your reference...

Here's one of mine. [/IMG]

Great looking garage, ac. I really like your idea of the garage door on the slanted tracks to gain space under the lift. The 2 doors in my shop block some lighting when they're fully open and your idea can fix that by having the doors lift up above those suspended lights. Now I need to find a...

Don't get me wrong, Chris, I enjoy going to shows as well as the drags. I can appreciate what it takes to maintain a 'driver' in the kind of condition to be successful in a show. I, like you, think you should 'own the car' not have it own you (read trailer queen that is never driven for fear of...

My late friend, Bill Burnham, used to say - "the only thing you can 'win' with a car is a race. Everything else is based on opinions." Nice car, Vernmotor. I like 'em all but I'm partial to Mopar.

WOW, just WOW!! Thanks so much for sharing your restoration journey. What you started with to today is just awe inspiring. Thanks to this thread you've got me looking at improvements I can make to my shop. BTW, love those SS acorn nuts on the hose reel. Mike

My shop is 24x49, insulated walls but uninsulated ceiling. I use a roll around Porta-Cool (16 inch fan with water reservoir in the base) that I turn on early in the morning. Good for about a 10+ degree drop in temp through the day. There is a temperature controlled attic fan that pushes the air...

Great idea, Paul. I really like what you've set up.

This is a test

Got the 2010 Spring Catalog just last month.

Just got an online ad from Eastwood showing 2 MIG units on sale. The 110 version for $400 and the 220 version for $600 (this one includes a free spool gun, as well). They look just like Lincoln units, but they are branded Eastwood. I have no info on their internal differences, though.

Started a doll house for my daughter when she was 7. Pieces have moved with me twice and still no progress. Daughter is now 31 and hopes I'll finish it for her daughter someday.

flatheadguy - Here's some pics (if I've figured out how to upload with photobucket). This first one is right after I finished the garage upgrade. [/IMG] This one is around the time we finished the Model A....it's in the lower left corner [/IMG] And this one is me in my roadster and my New...

Just joined yesterday, 2/16. I moved to Auburn 6 years ago and found a house that included a 1200 sq. ft. detached garage. After rewiring, insulation, sheet rock, paint and epoxied floor, it was ready to move in my cars and tools. I have a '32 Ford hiboy roadster with 354 cu. in. Hemi and a '68...
