Its always nice to see people saving old buildings, they have so much character you can't buy!

I just picked up a new shop truck. 1929 Rugby Durrant The majority of the cabs wooden frame is rotten. It should make for a good challenge! It has full rear fenders and a 2 speed rearend. It runs. Im too sure about the mechanical brakes?:eyecrazy: Hot Rod it or original....:headscrat

Started construction on the second level. The plan is to frame in under the second floor to create a store area and to be able to remove the 20ft beam and 3 posts to allow for the width of the hoist. That side will be the same width as the new part. Then frame in the upstairs for my...

And I just found out the building used to be twice the size but it was removed years ago. I'm disappointed and relieved!:lol:

Thanks! It definitely has that vibe.

Nice shop! The doors are so cool!

Moved half of the stuff in. I'm really glad I have an upstairs! Moved the set of stairs from the front room to the main shop so it would be easier to get stuff upstairs. I think I will do away with the tool room and use the space to make the fab room and assembly rooms bigger. Every time I...

Big day! Removed some of the railings and rough cut pine boards on the main floor. Cut the 2nd floor out to allow for the hoist and drive through. The flooring and floor joists will be used to build the 2nd floor at the front door. I won't be losing any floor space. I hate nails!!!:mad: The...

The majority of the work I do is on customer vehicles. I have some really interesting projects coming up. I have primarily been doing muscle cars with the odd pre 55 car but I am going to concentrate on doing early stuff now. I don't do body work just the frames/ suspension and sheetmetal etc...

Thanks for all the positive comments! Started ripping the place apart. A big thanks to my buddy Bob who spent the day jack hammering the solid concrete wood stove mantle.:bowdown: Took out the front window and made some barn doors under its header to start moving stuff in. I have alot of...

Party done and out of the way. Great time was had by all. My 10 year old daughter got up and played guitar with the band! Looks like it will become an annual event maybe with a cruise night. Can't wait to tear into the place!

No kidding!!:shocking:

How do you post pictures not as an attachment? and thanks for the positive comments and warm welcome!

Some upstairs shots.

Main floor. Peg board everywhere!:)

Some more pix of the store entrance and clean room. The big multi pane window under the peak in the front is coming out. There is a framed 6x6 -12x14' door opening in there.

Rough cut pine and welding don't mix too well so as cool as it looks alot of this will have to come down and be used upstairs and in the store. More pix to follow. My plan is to remove some of the second level in order to be able to put the hoist in and eventually be able to drive through the...
