My workshop / garage build...

[ARbuilder223]

Ha!...nice!

 

[ARbuilder223]

Im trying to post pix of the progress of the 41 Indian, but keeps stating file download error. Have it all stripped, polishing all the chrome etc..

Damn, again I am hating my garage. And you have a frickin' mannequin. I can't find one but want one. I am loving the garage. It looks fantastic.

I don't know what all is on the rifle, but it sure is badass looking. I can see you are ready for any Zombies that may show up.

As far as the mannequin dressed or undressed. Looks good with the shirt on. Now just toss one of your AR's in her hands and anyone peeking in the windows will be shocked

AR, can I get some more details on your countertop assembly? How are the trim pieces attached? Glue and finish nails would seem to be too light duty. I assume you staggered the 2 pieces of 3/4" to hold the trim?

Looking to do something similar and wanted to know how you got yours looking so good.

Great build, thanks for all the pics.

 

[ARbuilder223]

Actually the "trim" is a 2x4..was ripped 3/4" to make a lip, i have a few pix i will post

 

[ARbuilder223]

here is some pix

 

[matouse3]

I saw that in your previous post, awesome idea and it looks great. How are the "trim" pieces fastened to the 3/4 inch piece of plywood?

 

[ARbuilder223]

Screws..it is really solid, came out better than i expected. so far it has held up great. had motorcycle engines..tools,etc on it

 

[marty_p]

AR, your place keeps looking better and better!

You are one heck of an inspiration, and now I can't wait to see your BEvERage station!

 

[ARbuilder223]

Yes..i have plans for the bar area, i think it will turn out good / unique

 

[ARbuilder223]

Kevin54...thats my night time rig..too heavy to run around with. i know it looks like too much **** on it, but i like it just the way it is!!

 

[ARbuilder223]

Got the Indian Stripped, all chrome has been polished. Now time for paint..My daughter has been throwing fits because she wants to play on the Indian.. so i found one for her..

 

[ARbuilder223]

Got some cool oil spouts..and some new decorations that ill post later on today

 

[ARbuilder223]

Got an old winsheild wiper display..love that thinig. Also got a pair of old AO goggles..

So where do you find these treasures? Do you have a local source or going the eBay route? Just curious as those are good finds.

 

[ARbuilder223]

ebay from time to time.. i have alot of friend that collect stuff, so we usually trade things and pass finds on the each other

 

[ARbuilder223]

Sorry ment to say that we pass on deals / and different finds to each other

 

[ARbuilder223]

Here are a few pix of the inside of the wiper display and the pressure guage. getting ready to send tanks / fenders off for paint this week..

HEY MAN... Nice to see the Light still living in the Garage Journal here.

WOW... brother you weren't kidding - this is one Awesome Shop. I'll have to come out and have a beer with you some time! I was out your way this weekend working nights... we moved two 218' vessels all around Hwy 146, CR 565, and up I-10 - we shut I-10 down and removed the divider to go up the Hwy in the wrong direction.

Here's a photo... 1.3MM lbs and 440 tires on the Ground. Anyway... I was up past your neck of the woods.

Glad to find you on here buddy!

[ARbuilder223]

Finally finished the frame and 99% of the chrome for the bike. Got some cool garage stuff this week...Cruis'n USA Arcade

 

[ARbuilder223]

Picked up the Esso man / girl set and a cool Oilzum sign. Ran across a nice deal for a Texaco lot

 

[ARbuilder223]

Texaco stuff..

 

[ARbuilder223]

Thinking about hanging all the planes up..

 

[jktruck150]

AR, Looks good man! Love the place (and the tools/toys!).

 

[ARbuilder223]

Thanks..trying to knock this bike out asap so i can get back to finishing up the shop..

 

[NUTTSGT]

Somewhere out there is somebody kicking and screaming because you have all that stuff from posts 186,187,188 in one place.

 

[ARbuilder223]

Ha!..i was excited to get them!

 

[maxspeed96ct]

where did you get those foam mats for your tool box, I envy your organization !

 

[ARbuilder223]

Its actual closed cell foam 6lb den. I got it from Cascade foam. You can usually find closeout deals for a fair price

 

[AndysMBgarage]

Thats an awesome garage build with some sensational hardware.

I'm old enough to remember the good old days in Aus when you could by an M1 carbine and tool it up for some banana mag fun!

Those days are now long gone due to the Govenment and a very vocal minority.

 

[ARbuilder223]

days have been gone since '86 to really have fun with them. We are holding our first tournament tonight on the Cruis'n USA..$10 entry..winner takes all for fastest times..almost a $200 pot for first night aint too bad!

 

[ARbuilder223]

Thanks dyddcm..

 

[ARbuilder223]

Finally got the shocks on..now fun part of putting together / waiting on parts

 

[dna9656]
