FNG from cali

[04chase]

New here because I'm in the final stages of my new garage. Here in so cal land is premium and I'm fortunate enough to have space to build my dream. 30'×50'×14' insulated steel building. Two 10x12 roll ups . I'm a field heavy mechanic for trade but working on fast cars and trucks is my hobby. Also some other work with machining and the like. Just finished the electrical inside the shop along with upgrade on the house panel. So swap meets and snap on debt is high. Here are some if the pics I've gathered through the build. It's been a year since I started this endeavor (permits took 7 months)

Yeah it got moved so thanks to the mods for that. Lots of projects to come. So much to do and so little time. 50 hr work weeks, gym , and honey do's leave me little time . But now that I have light I should find some. Plan on adding heat and a/c to the shop as well as 2 lifts (bendpak xpr 10 a lp, and 9k xw) . I am also hoping to pick up a 55 Belair project that has a really cool story I'll share once I have it. Thanks for the warm welcome . Here is one drawer I'm proud of

I wish snap on made the larger ratchet wrenches in fd+. The blue points are so much shorter. I also have the angle wrench in sae but they live on my service truck .

The socket collection is going to take forever.

Welcome aboard the G.J. train Chase
You have a nice shed to play in and a pair of fine looking deterrents for your protection around the place.
I like your choice in hotrods and tools.

Will be checking in often to see how my neighbor is getting along
Thanks for sharing
