At this point I'm getting bored with looking at how good your work is and am more interested in seeing how your shop is set up.
So...can you move the car out and post more pics of that?

Are you sure you don't need another hoist? :p

It'll just bore you. It's too neatly organized.

Just a standard 2 car garage, as boring as it gets.

You have a very good use of your space. My file cabinets and shelves take up too much space.

I like the shelves up top with the totes. Overhead space for rarely used items are good and bad cause you forget what's up there.
But still , I may adopt that approach.

...oh and your missing a battery on one of your DeWalt hammer drils.
Thanks for dealing with my ill-gotten humo(u)r

I've forgotten about stuff up on that high shelf more than once, just the way it is with those!

It's not the tools that are expensive, it's the damn batteries, but I'll get a couple more just for you :icon_rofl:

For the totes on the top shelf, get a white or silver paint marker and write what's on them on the front, it helps...

My credo
Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Things a goddamn work of art ❤ I don't like trailer queens but this thing deserves to be admired for awhile before it gets whipped on

Ha yeah no trailering here. This car is getting driven every day, so it'll get dirty and dings and scratches, just like my ranger

Engine is running but it needs some tuning before I can test drive it, and the 3/4" clutch master cylinder I have seems to not be moving enough fluid to release the clutch, so I am going to try a 7/8" or 1"

She's a sweet looking ride. Ain't even finished yet. After all the time, money and effort, you need to get that thing on track and stretch its legs a little. After she's broken in of course :)

Absolutely! There's a track about an hour away from me that has open track days so I'll take it out there to really test it. Hard to push it to it's limit on the street
