Justa plain shop- lol

Plane Crazy · Sep 12, 2009

Didn't see a place to do a intro. But, it's really about my shop.

So, Here it is 38' x 19'5 x 11' was a DC-10 finally gettin around to closing in the ends and pouring the concrete.

It will get CAMO paint like the others, this shop will be used to build motorized bikes.

mrb · Sep 12, 2009

that is awesome! We need some backstory.......how did you get the airplanes?

global72 · Sep 12, 2009

that is very cool

create · Sep 12, 2009

That is awesome! How did you get the planes? And how did you actually "put" them where they are?

Thats really neat.

tatra · Sep 12, 2009

is the lower part buried or do you cut it to fit?.........btw , welcome.......

wreckercologist · Sep 12, 2009

That's totally bitchin! More details!

pipehack · Sep 12, 2009

That's awesome!!! And like the others... where did you get that from...

Old61 · Sep 12, 2009

Great idea!

Steevo · Sep 12, 2009

That is very cool, but you have to tell us the story of how you happened to have a slice of DC-10?

TAMPAGT07 · Sep 12, 2009

I think if I were you, I would hire a hot stewardess to serve me drinks and "refreshments." I heard E-tek's former maid is looking for work. Just don't let him talk you into letting him have his new maid.

You would have to check with E-tek on that one.

Boyd Who · Sep 12, 2009

Ok, you win the award for most inventive garage on the forum! That is just plain (plane?) cool!

nissan_crawler · Sep 12, 2009

back to the drawing board for my shop.... :wtf:

Don't think so, she's a nanny.

So what state are you in, and how did you happen to have an old plane sitting around?!? :shocking:

e-tek · Sep 12, 2009

This guy has some cool ideas - but he's keepin' them to himself isn't he!!! No answers on the fuselage details!!

(BTW - Philipino, HOT or not, nanny's don't do windows. They DO however, do laundry, vaccuum, clean the bathrooms, fold clothes (even my ginch even gets folded!!)....some even give back rubs!!!)

Plane Crazy · Sep 12, 2009

I live in Tennessee. While chewing up a wing, one day at work, I'm thinking, there has to be a easier/ quicker way to dispose of the frame. When I thought to use the planes as storage buildings and this one was big enough for a shop

mrb · Sep 12, 2009

so not only do you have an airplane for a shop building, you got to take it home from work? I hate you.

tatra · Sep 12, 2009

okay e, i am not one for spelling and grammer on the net, but it's gitch, not ginch..........some things i just can't abide, and one is the one greatest name canada may have contributed to humanity and that is the naming of one's skivvys........ :lol_hitti

Not trying to hide anything ( except planes in the back yard) I have a hard time pulling pictures from my old computor hard drive to this new one, I ain't so PC smart.

pics worth 1000 words and the family/ kids come first, I get the night shift, on the PC

marty_p · Sep 13, 2009

Brilliant!!! :thumbup:

You'll learn that most of here on GJ are barely lucky enough to find a used set of worn cabinets. Now, when there's a serious deal at Lowes, HD, or HF, word spreads like wildfire.

I have GOT to start stalking my local airport...

X1 Mike · Sep 13, 2009

WTF...... and I say that in the most complimentary manner possible. :thumbup:

I just like to be different....
One of my toys Light-n-fast > Dodge Rampage :headscrat

Kevin54 · Sep 13, 2009

That is definitely worth of a "YOU ****" award :thumbup:

I would not "camo" the paint on that, I'd paint it like a major airline but just put your name on it.

On the other hand, what does one have to pay to get a fuselage of a plane? I'm thinking that there is a new market for the scrap business now.

Plane Crazy · Sep 14, 2009

dog tired__ got almost half the gravel base down. Finished the rear wall.

smsteve · Sep 14, 2009

Wild! Looking forward to see the completed pics...

mjozefow · Sep 14, 2009

Very cool. Just don't open the windows you will get sucked out!

Plane Crazy · Sep 14, 2009

Hello everyone, thanks for the replys
got a little time to write,

I started out needing a tool shed for the tractor, and spotted a united roof at work. need to get it set on real support, instead of blocks.

Then I needed a "git away place" and used a tail section with the thick locking door. even kept the throne and sink, just added a pipe from the holding tank to the septic line. replace the ballast with house voltage ballast for the T-12 lghts, and pergo on the floor. moved in the mini fridge, tv, stero. etc.

3 years ago brought home the DC-10. time to get it done, since work is slow, wish now I had left the inside and insulation in.

dodgepolara500 · Sep 14, 2009

now that is something different. The insulation and interior looked clean. You could have lived in the darn thing! Totally awesome.

yep, built better than a mobile home lol

Just a little tuff, gettin around corners, till we adapted a front landing gear and a semi trailer rear axle to turn the corners like a ladder truck..... :bounce:

Jey · Sep 15, 2009

This is wild.

I wish my scrap bin at work was this nice

tatra · Sep 15, 2009

oh man, who died and made you the coolest kid on the block.............good stuff pal...........love the landing gear idea............

Steevo · Sep 15, 2009

I'll have to remember to take a pic of the shop one of my neighbors has in Idaho. He's got the nose of a DC-3 sticking out of the wall at one end.

cyclopsblown34 · Sep 15, 2009

This is one cool azz thread. Way to go Plane Crazy. :thumbup:

Plane Crazy · Sep 15, 2009

ddawg16 · Sep 15, 2009

Are you going to configure it in 2 or 3 class seating?

That is cool........

It would be even cooler if you could 'obtain' some 1st class seats and set them in.....
