That is too cool. I'm sure you've got something planned for those plexiglass pieces?

Just can't keep up with you Marty!! Just about to get it all done and you go and rip it apart?

I've been there - most people scratch their heads and think your crazy - but you have to do what you have to do, right?

When will it be back together in black?

Back to working on the Garage again. Like I said getting ready for the next project car.

I needed space for Parts and Tires. The plan is to suspend a shelf even with the attic area.

Dennis at Hi-Speed Welding (( www.highspeedwelding.com )) ordered me some heavy wall
2 x 2 Square tubing and welded tabs on the ends.

Spent about 2 hours sanding them smooth, getting them ready for paint.

All painted in Chassis Black

Picture of the center support brackets that will tie into the ceiling

I hung the first 20 footer, man is that hard to do by yourself. You can also see that the
center supports are already hung. Okay that was also a pain in the butt.

There are three 3/8" lag bolts that tie the center supports in the ceiling rafters. I had to put in
two extra boards in the attic to anchor the center support.

Okay the shelf is up.
The center will be used for Tire Storage and the corners will be used for parts storage.

Still to do is build the uprights and I this time I am going to have the center supports
powder coated by Jay over at Pro-Tek Powder Coating (( www.propowder.com ))

Bring it down... we have an open chassis table. Just finished our new 1st gen Nova chassis so we have freed up the chassis table and are ready to design a new chassis.
