Pecvd2's ford garage

PECVD2 · Feb 27, 2015

I guess it is about time to start a garage thread.
I am going to shift from what was themed for a sports training area to a FORD Themed garage.
I have wanted to do this since I saw ML504's garage many years ago.
The other reason is to be more in line with my horses a 1954 F-100, 2001 SuperCrew and possible addition of a 1999 Mustang 4.6l.

The plan is draw/paint Ford emblems and traditional Ford themed signs in place of the sports themes paintings.

I will post as I go along but here are a few teasers.

I like it, years ago I had a Ford flag from the 60's or 70's that I sold (had a GTO at the time). Now that I'm back to Fords I wish I had it back for my garage.

Very cool. I'm a dyed in the wool Ford blue blooded fan. I'll have to keep track of this one.

PECVD2 · Feb 28, 2015

Giving my cabinets some personality. Stickers are not for all but I love the look.

HSpencer · Feb 28, 2015

Looks like a great place to hang out. I love the old signs and the decals. Looks like good storage behind the cabinet doors. Looking forward to more pictures.

Best Regards
Herb Spencer

After I passed Clines Corner it was 75mph all the way to Amarillo, it snowed the whole way but it didn't stick. :thumbup:

Thanks Herb. Yes I added some osb shelves to those cheapo cabinet to hold plenty of weight as I have them packed with parts and pieces

FordGuy I will post a few more pics of the truck
I have the seat pulled now as I ordered a rubber floor mat to replace the ratty carpet but was disappointed that the mat was only 2/3 cab length. Gonna re think that approach

Excellent, great to hear. That can be a treacherous stretch when slick as you know all to well

looks good

Looking forward to your progress, I am doing the same thing here at the moment in my shed for my 56 F100 and 69 stang. I hope to be done in the next few weeks.

PECVD2 · Mar 1, 2015

69Fastback, nice 56 you have there. My 54 will probably never get that kind of love as I don't have the talent to get it there.

sean Buick 76 · Mar 1, 2015

Welcome, you will fit right in here!!

Please share a few pictures of the outside of the garage?

How large is it?

Cool vehicles! I love that old truck, vintage iron!

My daughter gave me this today to help me get over the hump.
Thank you Jay.

Thanks

A friend was trying to sell me his '99 but the neighbor kid bought it.

He lost his license after a month of ownership.

Go, Blue Ovals! :thumbup:

I can't wait to see your progress, buddy!

j p smith · May 14, 2015

Looking forward to watching your progress, like to see the garden tractors. I have hit & miss engines, David Bradley walk behinds and a Massey 10

Over the weekend got my '86 Runner (I know not a Ford) back online just in time summer and she is begging to take her top off.

I have cherished a Hazet or Hory tool caddy since I first saw one posted on GJ.
I happened on a tool sale a few blocks from my home over the weekend and found this jewel.
Couldn't believe it when the guy told me he wanted $20 for it. He said he has had it for around 65 years.
Awesomeness!
Gave him $5 for the USA thread dressing kit as well.
Some TLC and the Hory Company Ltd. Caddy will be good for another 65 years.

Got started on cleaning up my Hory Ltd. Caddy.
I need to tack weld a support back into place.
Probably just going to rattle can it blue and white.

borrowed the use of a friends spot welder as I could not get my HF arc welder to tack some thin metal I was practicing on....much better and appropriate for this application.

Nice find on the caddy. I love to find one myself.

Sweet!
Let me be the first to say.... YOU ****!

Thanks PD. I got the cart media blasted over the past week (I really need to get me a bigger blasting cabinet). Cleaned and primed the parts yesterday and will rattle can them today.

First pass of blasting.

Rattle can primer "baking" in the NM sun.LOL

Earlier this week Ryan had posted a link to his homemade paint booth so I figured I would post a little about my homemade paint booth.
A friend would lend me this shell every summer when our travel fast pitch teams would hit the road so when he was going to trade in his truck he sold it to me at a great price.
Anyway I got to work on it.
