I told my father I wanted to work on my truck in storage at his shop and was hoping to stop by his place in the phoenix area to get pictures of his "real tools" and cars, like his restored 52 chevy 2 door coupe or 67 impala 2 door or my sisters 48 gmc pickup, but we didn't stop there. Also he has an older sun setup I wanted pictures for you sun fans, but instead you have to settle for the 35x70 shop and his 2200 sqaure feet place on 11~12 acres in nw close to springerville arizona. Also the car covered up, is my 51 chevy 2 door hardtop with a 327 and t10. Also we should assume that he has about 50% more stuff at his place in AZ, just more pack rat stuff, I can't live with this much stuff but to each their own.:thumbup: Also he plans to retire here so must of his stuff is at his home not here, his tools and other things are all at home, this is all spare stuff to use when his here.

Truck got stollen and trashed, but mesa pd caught the guy and he never got his restitution and was working on fixing the truck again with new fenders hood and other things, just never got around to painting it.

My dads friend that committed suicide that only had one leg made this car from parts a frame and welder. A 57 olds engine with a dual range hydromatic in it.

67 impala convertable that my father pestered someone for 5 years to sell it, original 396, with factory AC, TH400, AM/FM stereo multiplexer and 8 track.

A 65 CJ5 with a chevy 305 v8, BW close ratio T10-model 18 transfer case with an advance adapters adapter, and a PTO saturn over drive that gives you I think 25 percent reduction and works in 4 wheel drive or anything else, has a shift lever for on and off.

I was expecting worse from the title. I think Junkman and BWP are worse but then again your Dad has a bigger shop.

I was thinking it wasn't too bad until I saw the 3 refrigerators and a Coke machine lined up. That's getting carried away:lol_hitti

Actually the ones at his house are mostly finished. The jeep just needs a paint job and he did finish the 1945 cj2a. He wants to sell the c10. My old s10 we are going to cut up and keep the engine wire harness ****** and computer and sensors and cut the rest up for scrap metal.

Well my desktop monitor at home is 1900X1200 but I did change them to 1024x768. That should help you out.

So THAT's how people with 'space' live. I've always been curious. Here in Los Angeles, we don't got no 'space.'

So I guess that philanderer Jon Edwards was right...there really are two Americas. No space, and S-P-A-C-E. Wanna trade?
