Placed bench vises out. Drill the holes in the morning and then gotta mount the damper dyno and other stuff. Gotta get this done before Monday morning when the guys come back to work

Put some mats down for anti fatigue. Gym mats like you see at lifetime etc.

Got all the hardware and parts for that assembly area all organized. We keep each area of the shop separate to what we are building. Wiring looms, engines, dampers etc. so there isn't any parts hardware crossover. Only way to keep t all straight IMO.

Awesome shop and collection of customer cars. Inspired by the organisation of that hardware, have to tempting to put 1 piece of place and see if anyone notices!

Epic work on keeping it clean!

Also made another yoke for the newer Porsche 991 engines. Wish someone would come to market so we didn't have to make them. Be a lot cheaper.

Cool project came in for an engine rebuild. 1967 Toyota 2000GT with the 3m engine.

Pulled the engine out. Parts NLA so we are going to have to make all the gaskets.

My OCD got the best of me. Had a couple of Matco roll around I bought two years ago. Picked up two Epiq carts to match the big epic box for the guys to use. Have two more on order but these two finally showed up.

Nice!
What's the story as to why the 2000GT needs an engine rebuild?
It looks pristine.
I want to upgrade to a Snapon box. Someday.

Check eBay and Craigslist. When I first started that is where I got a lot of my stuff. Saves a ton of money.

Toyota sat since the early 90's in a collection. So it is in pretty bad shape from nit running.
