Re: Show off your shop! (Contains large photos)
My shop was there when I bought the house(the reason I bought the house )
24x48 10ft ceiling, lightly heated, 100amp service(110/220), water(hot/cold), phone. I've had to remodel it slightly to get the Mack inside. Still not big enough, even though last house was only 24x24
Is a garage EVER big enough..............

Got home a bit early, so I took a couple quick pics.
Front:.............with trusty rusty '67 sitting outside.
End view......Mack in one door, my '69 F100 sits in other door.
West end showing Mack
East end
Everyone needs a nice mill
How about a nice 1970's Coke machine to hold refreshments?

Nice place, and man am I in love with the T-Bird. '85 right? And is that a TC front lower bumper or aftermarket? I would love to see some more pics of that one. Rare to see others outside the Fox body T-bird/Cougar site that is nice. Someday, I will have to do something with mine.

Re: Show off your shop! (Contains large photos)

Re: Show off your shop! (Contains large photos)
Thank guys.
the pop machine does work...sorry no pull tabs You can tell the newer cans are different sizes as they don't fit as well in this machine.
The radiant heater................is barely enough. It was there, but need to put a Reznor furnace or such to really heat it up when I work in the winter. Right now it keeps the pipes from freezing.
The Bird is a '83, Turbo coupe owned by a buddy of mine. Bought it new, never seen weather, wipers NEVER been on. At 18K miles he cut it up to back half it, it presently has 33K miles on it. Has a 460ci motor, Doug nash 5 spd as it's turned into a full blown race car. We're installing the rollcage this winter and finishing up the tin work inside. It hasn't seen the road in 15yrs, as he started the transformation and never finished it.
Stock: about 1990? With my '69 back when I justs put the 428CJ motor in it.
Back halfed: in about 1992
motor: as it sits today. Been run, but never driven with.

Here's the garage I do some of the work on #50 in. #50's actually outside so I only work on assemblies in there.
The extreme level of organization and cleanliness is what allows me to make such rapid progress on my truck.
Parts ready for paint:
The North wing:
My work bench, which happens to be a 1972 240z. That's my long term project.
The tool area, freshly dusted:
