    Heh, some pretty nice setups hanging around, with some nice iron sitting in them.

    I think I was just frustrated yesterday...we've got one too many cars in there, which means my frame jig is all shoved over in a corner. I was trying to work on my frame,

    and had the TIG, MIG and plasma cutter all in one place, damn wires and torches and **** EVERYWHERE lol. I spent at least as much time unwrapping tangled cabels as I did workin!

    wish i had a pic for yall but we've been working out of a very cool, old airplane hangar in NJ for the past few years. we can fit about 20 cars! unfortunatley the small airport has been sold and we are losing our space. if i could paint a picture here it is. 10,000 sqr ft. 25 foot ceiling, its midnight, no heat, wind making all kinds of sounds, lear jets taking off and landing, stray cats milling about, odd sounds that u hear between grinding and welding that make u think someones there. in the daytime parachuters floating down and land in the parking lot, steam coming off the floor when it rains in the summer, tunes, beer, loads of vintage amu*****t park memorabilia strewn about, mannequins here and there, the oc***ional rockabilly models doing a photo shoot, a pile of engines and a bunch of 20's fords in various stages of completion. damn im gonna miss that place.. got alot of ideas and work done there.

    Poured the concrete footings this morning - Just imagine a pile of bricks surrounded by sand in a smallish back yard. Will have running water, couch, fridge, loft storage and the makings of a 32 highboy roadster in red oxide primer....

    Geez, you guys ****, what with your fancy roofs and walls and all.

    What about us "outdoors" wrenchers, I know I can't be the only one unfortunate enough to not have a garage.

    Maybe I should post of picture of my oil-stained driveway....
