Nice build!

The hanging of the OSB ensues.

Trimming out with a burnt/stained pine.

Sammy approves.

Now that's a dog

razrbak94 · Mar 10, 2016

Have been able to get some things accomplished in the barn the last few weeks.
Primarily getting the electrical wired in... still lack a few things, but would say I'm 75% there.
I went with the Costco LED's- 19 in total, controlled by 2 switches. Things get pretty bright with all rows lit up... dare I say too bright.

My first (significant) venture down the electrical path... found it tedious, but rewarding... even got to bend some conduit.

razrbak94 · Mar 10, 2016

I also found this guy. In great condition. In the process of knocking off the surface rust for a refurbish.

ADSR · Mar 10, 2016

cool build!

StangSpace · Mar 10, 2016

I really like everything you are doing on your garage and in it. The foxbody looks great! Whats the stats on the engine and car? I see you are using a smog pump idler pulley. You can ditch it all together and just run a shorter belt. Do a google search for "5.0 mustang short belt". you should find a diagram for every combo of belt set ups with the belt length you would need. I found this out about a year ago after running the idler pulley for years.

needless to say I am subscribing to this.

Nice looking shop, thanks for posting

Nice build! Was hoping to see an LSx engine in the car though

Thanks, I've used the short belt route on several of my prior fox projects... just didn't this time. Why? I can't recall... getting old & suffering from CRS. Motor is a 342ci, 11:1, AFR185, Comp XE 282 cam, ported lower. Have yet to have get it on the spinner, **** dyno has it just north of 400rwhp.

Good streetable torque, blast to drive. Full treatment of Maximum Motorsport suspension & chassis goodies. SN95 cobra brakes.

Well said.
woo pig

egnorant · Mar 11, 2016

Nice! I noticed the hose reel on the bathroom wall. Did you tuck the compressor in there?
Wiring can be a very Zen experience...did you set up any 220 circuits while wiring?

As a long time Mustang guy let me just say...drool!!

Nice looking shop and I love the fox. Cant wait to see how it turns out.

Farrier · Mar 11, 2016

Is your shop 30' wide including the lean to? Or 30' + the extra width of the lean to?

Yes, the compressor is the storage area, to keep noise down. No 220... yet.

30x40 enclosed, 10x40 covered patio.

Very nice! I played around with Foxes for many years.

You and I have almost the same build. I bet she is a blast on the streets. Have you had it on any tracks yet?

razrbak94 · Mar 12, 2016

Starting to address the man cave pre-requisite.

Billhae · Mar 13, 2016

Very interested in the details of this bar build as I was just about to do the same thing in my basement and your design is better than the one I was going to go with - thanks for sharing

Really just winging it, after a bit of research.
Base is 8'x20"x4' "L"
Bar top will be 42"h, approx. 20(ish)" wide, w/10(ish)" overhang
Counter will be 36"h, undetermined width.
... still determining finish, all in my head at this point.

razrbak94 · Mar 20, 2016

This "stables" build has certainly become a case study in ADD. Started a platform deck 3 weekends ago to transition to the pool patio.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics... really pleased with how the deck and to be patio edge are coming together. Will hopefully have the decking on by the end of next weekend.

razrbak94 · Mar 27, 2016

I was able to devote a good bit of the weekend on the deck, though still have quite a bit to do.

maddog1949 · Mar 28, 2016

Nice build!

razrbak94 · Apr 7, 2016

More of the deck project... Sammy knows what it's for.

Broke out the pear burner to add some character.

razrbak94 · May 1, 2016

Back on the bar this last week/weekend.
Melamine form, 5500lb mix...

and after a lot of troweling.

razrbak94 · May 8, 2016

Wet cured, forms off & a light sand... almost ready for sealing. Hope to have the lower level in today. I'm debating using the remaining HD40 I have to densify/seal... thoughts?

razrbak94 · May 8, 2016

Also a little snippet after a change of mufflers. Very evident I have a header leak to hunt down... but towards the end of video, you get a good idea of sound & lope.

Thank you, sir.

razrbak94 · May 13, 2016

Got to skin the bar and start some of the finish work.

razrbak94 · May 14, 2016

Boom!

StangSpace · May 22, 2016

That bar looks awesome! We did concrete counter tops on our BBQ island in the back yard at our home in Arizona before we moved. I really liked the look of them. I can't wait to see the rest of what you have planned for the bar area and the rest of the shop.

jedeyeben · May 22, 2016

Seriously, looks amazing! Well done.

Very cool. Like the black pipe foot rail. What neat idea do you have for a spittoon?
