    Wowee! This coupe is going to look slick!
    It would be front page on the TRJ given half a chance!
    @NealinCA your attention to detail is inspiring:D

    It's been so long since I smelled a chrome shop. Damn I'm jealous.

    Neal,

    You're being way way way too modest.

    I just finished up my shop office. It's almost been like a car build in itself. At least I know I way over thought the whole project, but it came out pretty close to my vision. Like my car projects, I had been gathering all the pieces for the office long before construction began. The door started it all and it's been in the works for 2-3 years, but now i can finally use and enjoy the space. 20231112_093112.jpg 20231112_093206.jpg 20231112_093600.jpg 20231112_093650.jpg 20231112_093356.jpg 20231112_093727.jpg 20231112_093443.jpg 20231112_093703.jpg

    And I had my annual open house (aka Neal's Hot Rod Party) so my shop got it's once a year cleaning. I figured I'd share some random shots looking around through my native habitat.

    I'll post an update on the 5w after i get the next batch of parts back from the chrome shop. Meanwhile, I need to work on some steering boxes.

    Well-equipped shop & an office to die for, my wife's uncle was an attorney in Hebron Ne. & had several of those book cabinets, not sure what became of them after his passing.

  27. A thing of beauty. I always love seeing the shop in the background of photos. Great to see some pictures with the shop as the focus.

    Well there went my morning... Can't remember the last time I spent hours looking through a HAMB build thread! This car is turning out to be something pretty special Neal. Great to see you out in Oklahoma and can't wait to hopefully see this car out there next year! ;)
