Default Long term project

As a long time lurker, thought I post to the FRC per Desertdawg's request. Haven't done much of anything to the '63 in the past 3 years other than pickup a couple parts and some cleaning. But here are some pic's of it.







I did manage to get the '84 painted last summer



Still working on the garage(72x30) that I started in'99, hope to pour the floor later this summer. Well that's all for now.
Jack

Pain to work with...took forever to get the correct mix of 3in1, WD40 and blue windex, next time I'm going to try it with the pink windex...if you ever need the mix ratio drop me a line :D

Desertdawg...did move some parts around :) need to lay the plumbing before the floor gets poured...by the way...Beer & steaks on me for helpers after the 40 yards of concrete have been put down :) some pics of the garage in process
