Thought it's Time to introduce Myself

[djd99]

Hi guy's I thought Maybe before I pull up a chair it might be time to introduce myself and say Hello to all the great members here. My names Don and I live in central michigan, I'm 37 with many interests all things mechanic related, used to do autowork as body and frame and engine(Still own my own frame machine) until the wife got sick in 2005 and started taking care of here full time.

I found this forum looking for ideas for my shop, witch this site has many. I'm a little ashamed to post a pic of my shop as why I found this forum for ideas. Anyway, Hello I've had my shop now for 10 years and have been upgrading a little at a time when I can afford to, but here's a pic, I want to have the outside painted before winter I'm power washing it today. Anyway Hello All

Nice shop. Is that the bed of a 70's Ford in the pic?

Welcome to the forum, from a fellow mid-Michigan resident. Don't be ashamed of that shop. Old cinder block buildings are great.

Move the camera to the left a little and retake that last picture. Looks like a nice truck!

Yup 1971 I'll snap another photo and thanks for the kind words. This truck was purchased new When I was born so someday I plan on restoring it, My dad used to have a camper and we traveled all over the us looking for antique parts for his old 1020's ford's he restored.

Nice shop. I like buildings with character

Clean and neat. Put up a few old gas stations signs and an old gas pump and it would look awesome. Nothing wrong with that shop. The model T painted on the back of the shop is neat too

I agree, that looks pretty respectable.
