This summer I sold the house, and bought one with NO SHOP!!! I was Very Scared. Immediatly I started on the MAN SHOP. After 3 months of 20 hr. days here it is. I am very excited, and glad to be gettin back to workin on cars.
Yes Clark, I am kinda a willys guy right now. I also have a 31 willys cabriolet on its way. You got any parts?
Congrats. O know the feeling. I moved to a place with nothing. Now after having a shop I dont know waht I would do if I had to move again. It better have a shop though. Very nice looking shop
Thats cool. Usually someone buys a house without a garage and complains the rest of his life about it.
Thanks, It was all done by my 2 friends, Dan King, Jim Mackey, and myself. It RULES to have a big shop before winter.
Cool shop. I'm trying to buy an old firestation that is a block from my house. If I get it, I'm gonna turn it into my little rascals "he man woman haters club". In the mean time. I'm seriously jealous of your new digs. Doc.
Doc, I myself am wanting a little firestation flavor in the shop. Im thinkin a firemans pole from the office into the booth.
Very Nice, Jim. I too bought a new house without a shop, after having one for 15 years. I hope to start my shop (not as big as yours) but still, in about one month...Permits, you know... Anyway, good for you, maybe I can scoot by this spring on the murdercycle and check it out.
Mill? English wheel? I'm moving in next door. Hope you don't mind neighbors who park a lot of old, well rusted cars on flat tires in their front yards. And test motors at 3 am with no mufflers.
Very nice shop, and just in time for winter. After having a good work area for just a short time it spoils you. I went from a 24 X 36 into a 40 X80 with a second story. It's too small. Can you spell SPOILED? Frank
Im so jelous!!!! I just moved out of a 1bedroom apartment and bought my first house with a detached a 1 car garage (its an old 1 car garage so it can fit well more than a civic!) im in the process of redoing the whole thing, it was basically a slab and some wood, i reinforced all the framing, re did all the electrical, built a little storage loft, and insulated and sheetrocked it. just a little more mudding and sanding and i cant paint!! im just got in and i was stoked, feeling damn proud of my self....until i saw your post....geeez! -Rob
Is that a '32 that I see in your loft? Or are you just happy to see me? I zoomed in on that grill all the way to the right of the inside picture. What is that thing, looks cool. Sweet Impala! Good job on the shop. PS. I would give my roll-away for those headlights that you got hangin up there.
That old sign was layin @ the ranch for ever. All I did was ask, and they were more than happy to let me take it home. In my opinion, its a piece of NW hotrod history, I am stoked.
That's Kool!!!! Now where's the lift, Ya gotta have a lift. When we moved here I built the shop 30X40 W/rotary lube rack(that's the one w/a cat walk&rails)first , then the house. I also 12' eaves w/2' eave lights. B-O-B
Nice space. I'm in the middle of a 38x40 with 12 foot walls. Winter is catching up with me and I've just started with the roof sheathing, so with any luck I can get a roof on it and get it wrapped up before any serious snow falls. It's funny how 2' on the wall makes your building look so much bigger than mine. What are you doing for heat?
