Projects in your shop?

Damn, that's a lot of projects for the size of the shop. Where do you store them?
BTW, I dig the 66
A lot of them have come and gone! Some were also friends vehicles. I store a few in the shop and a few in the 3 car attached to the house. The Impala was a project I took on that I shouldn't have. WAY more rust than I was prepared to deal with. But thats what you get when you have some friends look at it and pick it up when you yourself are out of town! haha I got a fresh BBC out of the deal, the car went onto someone else who will restore it. Along with ALL the sheet metal I purchased haha

That's why I don't have a project now, you've got them all. I'd love to find a presentable flat fender CJ.

I'm shopping around for a 2-post asymmetric lift.
How's that Atlas working for you??

Something a little bit different. I'm not sure of the year but I believe the boat (Boston Whaler 13' Sport) is a mid to late 80s hull with a '93 40hp Evinrude outboard. Purchased from my Uncle in about 2007. Hull had lots of osmosis starting so I. Flipped her over and began the long process of sand, epoxy, sand, epoxy, sand, epoxy, sand, paint, sand, paint, sand again until you give up or die. If I ever get her flipped upright again, I'm going to reconfigure the seating to the Supersport style with the additional line locker at the back of the rear seat for extra storage of lines and stern light, etc.
First shot is the hull in her current state, second is about two seasons before I pulled her from the water the last time.

Have a couple of old car projects. First is a ‘66 Chev SB pickup (original factory air truck). Has rust in all the usual places (cab floors, inner bedsides, front fenders).
Second is a ‘66 Charger in same color combo as I had in high school. Already did front power disc conversion and have Borgeson PS conversion 90% done. Of course, the pulleys don’t line up!
Other projects on this one 1) remove scratches/pitting from rear glass 2) repair EL gauge cluster 3) hood repair.
Someone put an ugly wart of a hood scoop on this before I got it. What’s worse, they cut a big hole on the hood to make it functional. The 2nd hood I got with the car is not in great shape, so I’ll be cutting a replacement piece from the 2nd hood.

I am an amateur mechanic, for my needs its been perfect. I have never felt unsafe using it nor had any issues with operation. I have had it for a little over 3 years now and use it constantly. Its a 9,000lb model and i believe back then i paid somewhere around $1400 from Greg Smith. I was able to drive to the warehouse to save shipping. The instructions for installation are absolute garbage but its pretty straight forward. Me and a friend had it unboxed and operational in around 4 hours.

Boats are fun projects! I used my chainfall in my shop to replace the 351 out of a ski boat. My current boat is a 1977 Glastron Carlson cv23.

My main project is my Maverick, other little things come and go. Right now I am finishing floor modifications and rust repair. The TKO didn't quite fit in the tunnel so it was raised.
