Awfully small world. I lived in Gahanna from '98 - '05.......really small world.

There are quite a few members from the Columbus area on here. If I get over that way I'll have to swing in and introduce myself. We make it to the Capitol City once or twice a week.

 

[Gearhead559]

First time viewing, nice shop.

 

[Gearhead559]

and i used my new tool to make a bracket for one of the vacuums i got from the car wash next door.

and had the lincoln project detailed out today!

 

[Gearhead559]

been slammed with work, but seems im getting a break for a bit. tons to do tho.

started getting my engine room together

need to make some shelving tho and get it all sorted out.

 

[Gearhead559]

and the goodies begin to show up!

first is the fork lift i rented!

thing is like brand new!

any way then the semi shows up!
so i unload it, and it was suppose to be a lift gate, but it wasnt, so i got smart with my straps!

oh yeah, and a pallet of goodies too!

so i get it all put together and up, and im waiting on someone to wire it up.

so i put every thing else together
made a big mess too

my r2d2 unit

and my trans jack (air over hydro )

hopefully i have the lift wired up by the end of today and i can get to tossing every thing in the building on it

[Gearhead559]

thanks guys....

 

[Gearhead559]

decided to get started on my patio area

not on my main list of things, but getting it cleaned up is a must

 

[Gearhead559]

finally got my solvent tank in and setup

also got my heated alkaline washer up and running too!

even made a bunch of progress in my patio area for lunch and after hours(this is behind the 2 car garage) it was really messy back here!

it cleaned up even more now, that pic was after we got alot of the big mess cleaned up.

 

[metalhead212121]

what is that black thing next to the parts washer??

 

[Gearhead559]

what is that black thing next to the parts washer??

its a heated parts washer.... has a basket in it and a rotating spray bar. uses alkaline/water mix. works pretty good. have a few engine to do so it will come in handy for sure in the next few weeks. it was a 2800 machine i got for nothing.. just had to pisk it up and move it and clean it out!

Just hope it doesn't become a hang out for the homeless that hang at the car wash currently.

considering we are buying this building and the car wash... they are getting the boot, either way.. i chased one off. and all there stuff is going in the dumpster this weekend. they will be moving else where, cause im not having it

 

[Gearhead559]

well got the patio area cleaned up

got a working area for the engine room (now just to top it with some metal)

working on all new lighting for the engine room and the main shop with t8 stuff(sorry no pics yet)

i have several cars torn down right now, so i came up with this idea to store the parts with out losing them, since i had no where to put all the stuff/parts

need to make a few more, but you get the idea

and i found these free cabinets to hang from the wall above work benchs.. worked out great. and you have to love free!

Looks great, looks like you work your *** off for it!

I dig your notchback, been wanting to build one for a long time. ~100mm, lsx, lenco, I can see in on the bumper now

Hope you like your Atlas lift and accessories, Mine so far have been very good to me. The lift is smooth as butter. Price was cheap, better quality than our old Rotary.

When you are in the market for a chassis load dyno, I highly recommend Mustang Dynamometer. They are somewhat local to you in Twinsburg OH. I bought mine new in 2010 and have put ~2000 miles on it tuning cars. Its been great to me, its a work horse to say the least; All I have done is retq'd the bolts and greased the bearings. The tunes are spot on, crisp, and responsive once they hit the real world.

Best of luck to you with your business ventures.
