    I got a friend who likes to har*** me! He sends me this pic while I'm stuck at work for the next month - He is busy working on his shop and this is in the living room, I'm just working.....damn busy season! I think he said its a Dave Moon? frame and he has the nerve to keep finding **** laying around to hang on it.

    Dean Moon maybe?

    right now we have one old whee/slick in the living room...and a lot of other **** that's not much car related.

    There are some car parts in the kitchen, I've been meaning to list them for sale but haven't got round to it.

    oh yeah...I was gonna clean the house some today.

    Dean Moon.... that sounds right thanks for the correction.

    I'd like to come across an old chute to hang on the wall behind it.

    The rest of the room is filled with old pinball machines, pool table and others. Now I need to find him an air hockey and a foos.

  12. I would at least WASH the car before putting it in the living room... for no other reason that there MIGHT be a woman in there someday.:D

    Even they have a limit when it comes to a "project" like a car guy.

    I used to live in a garage. Really the building had a couple of small rooms but it was mostly garage so I that's where I placed my couch and entertainment center (which was on wheels and could be rolled out if I was grinding or sanding, there was a couch-tarp) I parked right behind the couch. It was a grand life. Then the girlfriend moved in and it had to change. No longer have the girl and have since purchased a great house, have a kick *** shop to work in but I still miss that run down little joint. Pulling up to the back of the couch getting out grabbing a cold beer from the coffee table ice chest and collapsing on the couch to watch some tube with my dog, my bel air and my spitfire (good company all), it was all very Steve McQueen.

    [ FED] a dream Im trying hard to make real with the kids and wife.
    It has to happen.
     
  18. I lived in a warehouse once, no hot water is a *****. All I had was a bike at the time, and I could pull it in and literally park it next to my bed and it kept me warm on cool nights.

    thats it! starting this weekend i'm bringing car parts into the house!!
     
  21. I USED to keep a whole interior in my loungeroom until my EX-girlfriend spilled candle wax on the seats! I think she was trying to tell me something.

    I'd do it now if I could get away with it....a nice dressed up engine would look good. Would sure beat watching TV too!

    I used to have the old Corvette Specialties FED in my living room but we sold it, need to find a super secrect replacement. I'm not letting any cats out of the bag here but look for a flathead powered FED that virtually anyone could drive up to about a hundred miles an hour coming to the dragstrip near here soon. No, you can't be married to have one in your living room. Tough choice, don't ask me to make it right now. It was easier before.....
     
  23. ...and keep the cats off of it. You'll never get rid of the smell.

    Hot water, showers, tubs, toilets, methods amd means to prepare food... yes, the little luxuries of life. I've tried that warehouse life. Do you know how cold California gets at night?

    we have a rule,

    no shed stuff in the house, no house stuff in the shed!

    I hate housey stuff clogging up my shed.

    I guess thats why I have a set of ross forgies and a flathead cam sitting near me now.

    I'm happily married, but sometimes I wonder what if I hadn't settled for the 4 bdrm, single garage in suburbia

    These are just steps from his living room (thats my dad one out for size, I'm working on his right now)

    I used to live the "warehouse life" myself back in ancient times. I'd refer to it as "my studio" when I was out trying to pick some up. My now wife remembers it all-too-well.

    Since we just made room in the living room for a pool table, I ran this thread by 'er for a reaction. She's more for putting a "finished or near finished product in there if we do it." [gettin' softer in the years] and my 4 year old boy informed me that "its a drag-ster".

    Thanks for the memories. - Bob Hope
