So finally an update!

After 5 years of fighting my barely 1 car garage I went out with a buddy and found a 1400sqft space and we now have a place to work on our cars.

Due to all the wrestling around I had to do with the tiny garage and wheeling the car in and out to work and my lack of experience, I managed to put 1/2 of twist in the rear panels.

After I got the shop started (electric, air hooked up) I started cutting my car apart....AGAIN! Started from the outside working in, fitting the quarters, trunk drops, wheel houses and finally today test fitting the AME frame back in.

It's been slow but taking my time now and measuring, and re-measuring. I've got most of the panels fitted how I want them and I believe next week I'll be able to start welding her back up.

I still have a few rust spots im patching up as I work. Onto the pics

Good luck, John. Looks like you have plenty of space now.

Nice to see the move and some movement on the car! I have a feeling we are going to start seeing a lot more updates from you now.

How did you get that air compressor on the high dive? Wow! I thought it was hard enough to get mine out of the back of my truck. I like the shop.

I was thinking the same thing!!! Lol. I would have struggled with one wheel, much less the hot water heater, the hood and compressor. You have a forklift or something? Yeah, I'm jealous of the shop. Great find!

The shop is in a commercial area, 12 pack of Budwiser and the neighbor brought his forklift over got to ride the forks with the compressor, little help from a buddy up top and it was in place!!
