Awesome shop Tyler !

1 issue - It's just bad karma to have your Camaro staring at that Porsche poster dude.... Unless that's psychotherapy you're doing to it ?? :D

I come from Porsche, used to be a Tech then Service consultant. They hold a place dear in my heart. You might notice the Mule, Thrasher, and Mike Face's 70 Chevelle are near it. We don't discriminate here.

Sounds like a killer set up there! Glad to hear things are going well for you. Progress is coming along on the 55 - although at a slow pace. I started a new job and my wife and I have another baby due Aug 15. So work is slow - but is moving forward. The motor compartment fab is getting done. Firewall and inner wells are now done. Now I'm working on the core support and air intake. I'll post some pics when I have something to show.

How is work coming on your 68? Looking forwrad to seeing it done. 68's are my choice - will have another one in the works after I get the 55 done.

So post em up. I want to finally finish off my shop once the car is away at paint. I need ideas. :D

I use the hell out of this thing. Put casters on everything. That way you can move equipment around or outside for cleaning. Also for working in the driveway if its a really messy project.

My wife had that made for me as a wedding present 13 years ago. Still works great. She contacted a local sign dealer and had him make it up for about $400 I think it was.

Garage Rehab '07
 
My good friend Jeff and I did some garage rehab at my house this past weekend. We emptied out the whole garage, epoxy-coated the floor, and set up the Backyard Buddy 4-post lift (Finally!). Still have some work to do on the baseboards and such, but here are a few pics. - Rob

I thought you folks might have some fun with my photo. Luckily most of the dirt bikes are gone, and the place is almost clean enough to bring the powdercoated bare frame in and build the rolling chassis for my Chevelles body to sit on. Stay tuned- build thread to follow.....
