spring is here..what to do???
Seems like I should have a project in mind. Drawin a blank here though. Guess I should clean the shop. Man what a pile a junk in there. If I showed you a picture, you could stare for hours. All junk I must keep though. Packrat moterhead fever I guess. Need to make room for somethin. Some kinda fix it up mod project. Allways got the rusted up pickup to work on. I guess alot of shops are messy. You?

Heres a project:
Take it out and drive it! I just got back from a nice ride (its sunny and 77 here in Tampa), and I really enjoyed it. Maiden voyage with the new sidepipes and stereo system!

Re: spring is here..what to do??? (Jvette73)
My garages are all a mess..... I guess it is time for me to convert my old horse barn into a garage. 70' x 20', room for 7 cars. That way I can start some new projects without disturbing my existing 9 car stalls...... yeah.... thats the ticket!

Re: spring is here..what to do??? (Juliet)
Juliet, thats a good idea. I have lots of practice to catch up with though. Never ending in fact. Im definatly not bored. Being lazy is not hard to do. Also, if I began to wander, I may never get to you guys. Im a very good wanderer. :lol: Of coarse the neighbor is long overdue to wander over here with Cuda problems. :smash: Northvette has a good idea too. Enjoy the lag time. With 4 cars on the road, luck has it sometimes that everything happens at once.
