Looking fantastic Shane and thank you for the update.

The Roof is coming along nicely! I am expecting the roof to be finished within 2 days. Then the tin.
Starting to get excited. Have decided not to dress the diner and complete it now until we get closer to building the house as I am concerned it will attract unwanted attention.

Shane, again looking fantastic, I am in awe of your build.
Have you thought about recessed LED down lights for general lighting, then may be a period correct wall light between the window and PA and or a ceiling light/s to match?

Looking good Shane.
Hard to see clearly but the top one looks to have more character.

I'd suggest match it to other elements on the building. So if you're doing something like smooth timber posts for an awning section, the smoother profile cladding options would go better. If there aren't much, maybe the first sample will work. Our old house had the faux wood grain effect like sample one (ours was concrete board cladding not metal or plastic). Generally I dont like faux woodgrain effects, but painted the right colour it worked really well.

Sure thing, I have 2 1937 Chev four doors, a 1958 Chevy fleet side and I'm building a 1948 dually Chev truck. Being a Holden dealer I'm sure you can notice a trend
That explains a lot.

amazing build. i guess that is a normal construction type in your area? is western au where it gets so hot? if so, are planning any heat/cooling system? one more- are you going to clad the yellow brick shop?

Hey Jim,
Brick is common here due to termites.
i will have a reverse cycle HVAC in the diner. the shed has electronic ventilators.
don't have gas on the property. will use bottled gas for heaters when needed.
The Creme bricks will stay as they are. Although i plan on putting some 1950's billboards up on the two faces that are in the same direction as the diner if that makes sense.
Thanks for stopping by!

With the roof on, and everything moving I am working through some small projects.
I have organised the floor paint.
I am currently working on lights to go above the work bench.
I have made a mock up.
Will post some pictures of my bench design later.

Would love to see some pics
A mate is building a '37 Chev sedan, and another is building a '38 Chev coupe ute and a sloper, so they've piqued my interest in them.Hewey,
I am building 1 as a Street Rod. Roof Chop, LS1 Electric Everything Custom Chassis. The other is the bits left over parts car and I'm building a Bomb style Gangsta car. The Street Rod is upto body work, chop already done. Will be a great project for the new Garage.

Good one Shane.
WAHOOO!!! The Roof and cladding are finished!
Now to finish doing the windows and try and find the best design for my carpenter to build the carriage doors for the gas station/diner doors.
the roller doors for the shed are due in a couple of weeks.
I hope to have the floor painted by then.
Now comes the fun stuff!!
