My Ford heaven

[filthymcnasty]

O.k. I've been on here awhile so I guess I'll share. My dad and I have been working on our shop for 10 years and just recently completed it. It was a pole barn with dirt floors when we started and we've done a little here and there until we finished it. I'm in the military so we were only able to work on it when I was home, but we finally got it the way we wanted it. The first pic is actually a picture in a scrap book of what the place looked like when we got it. Anyway, hope you all enjoy!

They're made by GMP and both versions only have about 500 units each. Highly detailed with a little hand crank that shows cut aways of the internal components moving.

Thanks for all the comments folks. Here's a few more that show what some areas looked like before we finished it off.

It does in my book! My Dad and I always wanted to put together a Superformance version with a 427. Maybe some day....

Wow that's some low miles. I wish my L was that low its my one and only running vehicle. Just turned over 100,000 miles a month ago, troublefree.

Nice place and nice toys.

How big is the building?? How tall are ceilings?

 

[filthymcnasty]

How big is the building?? How tall are ceilings?

It's a little over 2500 sq ft. It's sectioned off into three different areas. Half the building has eight foot walls and the other half has 12 foot walls (this was fun putting three rows high of 4X8 OSB with sheetrock on top, ugh).

 

[NUTTSGT]

9 ? congrats on winning the lottery, I think.

Is the top pic, the mini tubbed coupe going to be an 10.5 car or just a wild street car ?

What else would it be? HAHA

 

[bgarrett]

Wow. just wow.
COOL!

Who is the guy in Benton with all those cars and trucks from the 40s and 50s on main street?
