    Have most everything moved in now. Still getting stuff put away and shoved against walls but this is going to be a cool space. A bit cramped - but no more than the ba*****t was and I won't have to duck water or gas lines here. The ceiling is right around ten feet.

    Looking good man, 10 foot is a lot of headroom you can hang all kinds of stuff up outta your way in there.

    Here's what's going on with the car. Work on the car has slowed to a crawl. Doesn't look much different but it does have a radiator now (TV rules). The mounts aren't much to look at so the picture ****s. I'll get some better shots close up once they are gusseted, fully welded in and cleaned up. Baby steps right now though. That's all for now.

    Right on, progress is good.

    Round-up 05' for a break-in run? Where are all the flat motors stashed? Just kidding. And are you on-line at home now? I will call ya' Friday.

    Yeah, I'm going to have a hood on the car so I don't care if the motor runs like ****...but I'm trying to collect all of the right rare parts to hang on the walls to make my shop look perfect for my first magazine shoot. Hahaha.

    One of those manifolds is going on the motor as soon as I get the stones to swap the cam. And I'm going to finish off the attic space in a couple of weeks for Germ to live in through the winter.

    Here's pile of junk I slid to the corner and stacked on a shelf. Lots of junk...and plenty of parts I'm going to use on the next build.

    Id like a bigger space but I'll take what I can get. Right now I'm running everything on a single 110 circuit - unsure of the amerage. Big plans for next Spring. More elctricity, a loft space (I'll have to kick Germ out), and better doors - the overhead door will be kicked to the curb.

    Raven - Tell me about this heater. And I hope those seats work out for you - what are you going to put them in?
     
  20. I'm happily jealous of both the garage and the ride.

    Sweet!

  22. Kevin I just stuck that first pic on my all black desktop.
    I'm inspired, I'm gonna have to make a print for my office wall.
    Love that new old garage bro. A little dim, but what atmosphere.

    That space is downright palatial compared to what you had before. That's great. The car is looking great too.
