New here, from Illinois not Chicago!

[Gasgt1]

Hello everyone.
Great place, I love garages, sheds and workshops.

I run a nursery so I have lots of trucks, tractors and sheds at my disposal

Besides my old trucks I have my garage and wood shop.
Much rather be out there than anywhere else.

Looking forward to joining in.


1972 Ranchero GT
Cobra Jet 4spd



!960 F100



Other machines to make moving shop machines easier ......

Welcome to The Garage from North San Diego County (but my folks were from Chicago!) You wouldn't happen to be from the Bloomington area would you? (landscape looks like it).

Thanks everyone.
I am about 45 miles North of Bloomington, nice guess

Hey I'm new to the site also - I lived in Dwight during some of my "formative years" and still remember those as some the best days of my life! Looks like some of those pictures are on Old '66 and is the gas station in your avatar over by Odell?

 

[Gasgt1]

You are right on!
Those pics are on old '66 and that gas station is in Odell.

I wonder if I saw your Cobrajet at Buzz the Gutt last year?
Or was it at the Route 66 show in Springfield???
Another flatlander here...from the Northwest burbs....

Welcome to GJ, but I thought Illinois was in Chicago?

Please update your profile to indicate sorta where you are, North Illinois is good enough, county or city if you want. It will help in future discussions, save us from asking what climate you are in, etc, when a insulation, heat or code discussion comes up.

I've traveled thru Ill almost every year for the past ten or twelve, going to Clinton, IA every summer. I take different routes and try to get off the interstate when I can. I enjoy the countryside, the people, the scenery and the historical sites.

Would like to visit a couple of museums in Chicago, but otherwise have no use for the place. I know it drags the rest of the state down....... or at least that is the impression I get.

You mean like Atlanta brings the entire state of Georgia down or New York City brings the entire state of New York down?

Remember, if it wasn't for cities, we wouldn't have man purses or toy dogs.
