My Humble abode




So far it's been ok----as long as everythings on wheels

[FordTruck]

If i'm lucky and my brothers in a good mood and all of his slopars are out of the way i work in there. (The blue 30x40 in the back ground)


Other wise i work here. It has lots of room for me to spread out all my junk but any little rain and it floods and then its a real fun time trying to work,and the lighting can be kinda iffy at times.

Olde Skool Rules

After working on the '68 CS all winter and using Olde Skool as a parts cleaning / painting and storage unit, it isn't nearly this clean now...

[kaptnkaos]

Thanks 1971ford...

I can pretty much do anything I need to in the bus as long as it will fit through the door.
I've added a 20 gallon parts washer since that pic was taken...
I do wish I had a place big enough to get the bus in out of the weather.
I really need to do some brake work on 'er and get 'er prepped for paint...
Gonna paint' 'er just like my avitar...
<-----<

Gotta love a bump bus...

kaptn, does it run/drive minus brakes?

[CO684X4]

here is a pic of my Man Cave. It has AC, heat and coated floors. Also is wired for 220v and other outlets galore. It works for me. It is all messy with parts form the ford right now.

Yeah 1971ford...

It runs great...it starts right up.
it only has 92000 original miles on the 330 FT MD engine...
It's got early new rubber all the way around...
I drove it around town on the 4th of July...
The brakes work when it's all filled with fluid and they're bled , but it leaks fluid somewhere...
I have been collecting tools little by little, I didn't even have any thing big enough to remove the lug nuts...
Now, I have a nice shiny new 3/4 inch drive socket set...
The title says it weighs in right at 5 tons.
Which means I need to get a good huge hydraulic jack and a set super heavy duty jack stands, before I try to pull the wheels and hubs off to do a brake inspection...
I can get all the brake parts through Shucks commercial counter.
As soon as I can get that done, I can get it licensed.
It has two master cylinders, and has two slave cylinders per wheel.
Talk about a nightmare to get bled right.
The only thing I can't get new is the vacuum booster...
There is supposed to be a place in Fife WA that rebuilds them, but I haven't confirmed that yet..
I have been so focused on getting the '68 CS roadworthy again, that the bus project has been on the back burner...
Now that most of the mechanical work is done on the CS, I still have some rust management to do, then I'll be able ot get back to work on the bus...

Here are a few things in the shop you don't need to see the rest of the disaster .

I'll post some pix of my shop a little later. Its 28X48 with a 12 Foot ceiling, 16x10 garage door with 6) 6x4 windows in it. Heated, phone, cable, wired in all 4 corners for sound, 220 & 110 outlets. My dream shop was a 30x60 with an overhead crane........But @ that time it was to much money for me LOL.....
