KF5LCH's shop

[KF5LCH]

Well, im still new here so I better show off my shop.

It's a 20x28 detached garage. Why it's 28 feet long & not 30 I have no idea. The previous owner built it. I know I could sure use the extra 2 feet! Or an extra 20 feet on both sides!!

My little corner. Some of my best work happens in this spot.

Your 'little corner ' looks like a great place to hang out! I'm gonna do some pegboard if I ever finish the wall where it goes.

Btw: I got my EXL through Amazon. $54 shipped. Well worth it.

I kow what you mean about wishing you had a bit more room in your garage but you sure do seem to have yours well sorted, keeping everything stored yet accessible.

Cheers

Thanks for the kind words guyz. It means alot. I try to keep it squeeky clean, but after seeing how clean some of you guys keep your shop, mine looks like a pig pen.

A Pmech, I only have a Kenwood dual bander in the truck. I got into ham the same time I got into storm chasing. I want to get my extra ticket so I can hang with the big boys! I do enjoy the 2M side tho. I've talked to alot of good people all over the country on 2M.

Pic of the shops permanent resident as requested. It's my grandpaws old '71 Ford F-100. He gave it to me in '94 & I've had it ever since. Just a little FYI on how my grandpaw rolled, he WOULD NOT approve of the Cragar mags. lol.

I have something for you as well ! I sure hated to sell it, but I needed the money & it was time to move on. All I had left to do was put the '70 model stripe on the side & the 340 callout on the tail panel.

'70 340 duster set up for pro-street. I miss it so much. God it was fast. I love how it sat with the BB super stock springs!

This is my storm chasing rig. I have always been MoPar.

That garage is just right. well not big enough but otherwise it looks great! Another Okie ham here fyi

Sweet looking Duster , and the truck looks too nice to be storm chasing in!

Forgot to tell you your garage is cool too, I know what you mean about "why the origional builder" didn't make it bigger. I have the same problem, mine is only 24x24. Sure wish the guy would have streched it out more, he had the room!

Man, that's gorgeous. Not enough appreciation yet for the 67-79 Ford Trucks I feel.

I was about to ask the same thing I think I've actually seen your Dodge pickup over on RR before. Nice shop

Thanks guys. It's a good little shop. I spend alot of time out there.

Frank, believe it or not the 67-72's are starting to catch on. The reason I say is due to the fact parts for them are going sky high. I could & have picked up running parts trucks for $100 in the past, now guys want $100 bucks for a rusted out fender.

Jay, yup, I get over to RR every know & then! I dont have a shack yet. Just the mobile unit

Anyways, thanks guys. Its been a hell of a road to get where im at today & im only 30 years old. I still have ALOT of road left in front of me. . .
