That sign is too cool!

Not Red Rob,

I have a 13,000sq ft. shop and though I am retired, my shop is not. It has all the goodies that anyone could want.

I have often thought about closing the doors and moving in all my cars,
Don't tempt me!...

It's a good thing that I have a little 30' x30' toybox of my own that keeps me busy. But the thought of it?...Hmm...

Very very nice! I don't have a lot of room or money, but I don't let that stop me. It just takes longer. However I do have great friends who let me use their shops. It's good to see someone who can afford to do it right.

Hey Bruce!

Jamie likes the shop at his house, but it will be nice to have the space to spread out, ADHD to have the lifts and paint booth.

You taking anything to Scottsdale? We are building a '57.

Haven't started on the 58 vette restomod yet. Spent the summer on some small jobs. Helped a good buddy on his 72 vette restomod. I did the paint work and wired it. Should have all the small stuff out of the way by Labor Day. Then I'll start the 58

Got one of my work benches built tonight 16' long 3' deep, I'm going to build another one 4' wide 16' long to put out in the middle between the work bays.

Got another cool addition to the shop this week, a '50 shevy my buisness partner bought it this week, it's a shame he has to leave it with me... it has a 6.0 LS, with AC, PS, PB.

Snapped a few pics of the parts room, started sorting through all of the street rod parts that came with the shop.

More organizing this weekend, hung my collection of C2 hoods, TV & guitars, movers are coming tomorrow to move the rest of my cabinets and memorabilia.

Going to repaint the front offices, putting a pool table in the office, still lots to do, but it's slowing coming together.

Here are a few pics..

The toy garage is coming along nicely, showroom floor polished, still tons of organization left to do but it's getting there....

Very awesome garage and cars too.

I have three cars stuffed into my 600sf garage. Things are a little tight to say the least, but better days may be coming soon.

"coming along nicely" would be the understatement of the year. What a beautiful, functional facility. Congratulations
