Now Let's see some SHOP spaces!

My junk.

and so-so pic of the current status of the truck.. just because.

Hey, what year is the truck? I had a 1993 that was probably the best vehicle I ever owned except for the rust that got out of hand. I couldn't tell you how many trips I made with it to the lumber yard & Home Depot when I was building my garage. It had about 160,000 miles on it when I sold it 6 years ago, & still ran perfect. If it didn't rust out I can guarantee I'd still be driving it.

 

[Kaydon]

It's an '89. 504,*** miles Very dependable truck. I'd still be driving it, but I wanted a project truck and wound up getting a Toyota for a daily and the Toyota's don't look right with the plans I have in mind, soo I made the Nissan my project.

Do any of you Canadian guys know Joey aka "The King of Obsolete"?

It seems his shop is wherever he is. A site full of time-killing reads:

http://www.kingofobsolete.ca/

Wilbilt, I checked out the "Kings site" and all I can say is he's not yer typical Canadian, interesting dude, but not typical. Funny read on his site. He must be way up north to have 4:30 sunsets.

It looks like it's about 500 miles north of Winnipeg?

It's all "way up north" to me, although we do get 4:30 sunsets...in December.

Here's my 2 car shop/garage

The "organizer bins" on the shelves look a lot like what I started using a few years ago; are they the plastic "shoe boxes", or baby wipes containers? Either way, they even fit into "shoe cubbies" nicely!

& I would love to see a photo of that old green Chevy to see how much you cut that hood!

 

[RATSTER]

i cut the hood 2" the grille is made of 100 lip stick lids

 

[BrokeEF]

It's not really a shop but it is a big garage. Measures 27' wide, and 52' long with 15' ceilings (From what I remember) On with the pics!!!

Worlds loudest air compressor and 100' hose reel

Work bench area

Our pesudo fab area (Its behind a 17' fishing boat which was pushed further back than normal in this pic)

My box on the left and my buddies on the right (these are in front of the boat)

And his Dad's box that doesn't get used really

You can look here to mainly see the latest project car and more of the garage from last year. We cleaned it up a lot since then and reorganized. Ill try and get some pics up later of the whole garage.

Do you have a side view? I'll bet that change did wonders to the profile!

 

[RATSTER]

I'll have to find some picts of it. we ended up not using the hood and still have it. the guy i sold the car to wanted a hotrod looking car and not a sled. good thing i didn't chop the top.

 

[RATSTER]

i found this pict. i'm still looking.

here it is when sold

 

[e-tek]

So....pre tell....what's a guy do with 100 lipsticks and no tubes...

 

[RATSTER]

lol my buddy works in a plant that makes the lids, he got me a trash bag full

 

[autoist]

Man, that hood chop cleans the lines amazingly!

 

[jgabl]

Hey- Great thread! Been a while since I've been on. Here's some of my Mopar Manzone:

 

[jgabl]

Got a few more-

And let's not forget Charlie the Mopar Manzone Mascot!

 

[e-tek]

VERY coooool shop and rides!!!!! kinda lame party though.... ;(

 

[e-tek]

Totally kidding - you've given me a GREAT idea!!! I was gonna start having car-club members over and now that I see your shop all dolled up and the LCD procected video show I'll be doing that for sure!!
I belong to a few different clubs due to my love of different car types, so maybe I can find a movie to go along with each theme....like the movie with the White Challenger in it for the MOPAR Club! (Wish I had a better memory...)

 

[gts340]

^^^^ Vanishing Point. The old version is the best but another came out about 8 years ago. Don't forget the original Gone in 60 Seconds. That one has a lot of cool Mopar squads too.

 

[jgabl]

Thanks! Just picked up the original "Gone in 60 Seconds" on dvd at Walfart in the $5. bin. They wrecked tons of `68-`71 Mopar squads!
