I got asked many times on what templates I used on my IH Scout build so I thought I'd go into a little more depth on them. Here's a link to the Scout build: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=312713 These template kits come from Mobile Solutions located in Tempe, AZ. Their...

Just thought I'd share a couple of pics of this inexpensive 1965 Gasboy 390 pump I picked up a couple of years ago. I finally got around to painting it last week while I was set up to paint the hardtop of my '72 IH Scout I'm trying to finish up. Being an International Harvester fan I felt the...

A good friend of mine asked me to build a set of bookshelf speakers for him. Over a couple glasses of single malt scotch and a couple of nice cigars I decided to use Baltic birch, a nice honey pecan stain, and vinyl wrapped 1/2" MDF side inserts. Here are some build pics. I started out by...

Pretty sure it was this forum that I found a thread to post extra/unneeded sockets to give/swap with other members. I've looked and looked and can't find that thread. Was this a GJ thread or is the Alzheimer's kicking in? If so can someone please post a link? I have extras that I'd like to...

I thought I'd share a quickie build that I did a little while back. A customer came to me to clean up the dash area in his Nissan 240SX. As you can see from this first pic his dash/radio surround was a cluster. My plan was to do a little fab work and move things around to look a bit better...

One of the items that my wife wanted for Christmas was a cookbook holder. I've never shopped for one before so I spent a few minutes looking at them online and decided that I could make one that she would like a bit better than a store bought one. We have an old 15 acre farm outside the city...

I showed off my 1972 Scout in a different thread but thought I'd share a little more on the build progress from what we started with to what we have now. I started off with the first '72 Scout I bought. It was a rust bucket that I overpaid for. I learned a lesson on Scouts with that one. I...

Anyone here have a ProFusion heater? I found what looks to be a good deal at Northern tool. I have a 1700 sf shop. This heater is a 5,600 Watts, 19,000 BTU. Would two work out or should I go with three? The walls are not insulated yet but will be soon. My garage doors are insulated. I'm...

Last year I made a 2-for1 deal with my wife. Our property came with 2 small detached garages and a large barn. I had all of my projects and tools stuffed into those two building but that left me no room to actually work on them. The trade was that I could have the barn and convert it into a...

I just found this nice grill I'll be hanging on the wall in my shop. It will stay exactly like it is!

So, I figured my first post should be one saying hello to the group. I've been a car audio installer/fabricator since 1991, not all being full time working in the industry. I did put in my final 16 years in the Army during that time and retired in Oct 2012. Soon after getting out I opened...
