Well my shop is coming together, finally.

Been waiting on the weather to cooperate and dry out around here. I got the poles ( 7" drill stem and heavy as hell) put up several months ago and cemented in and then it started raining and could'nt get the cement trucks back to it. Me and 347 have been working our tails off doing all the work so far except the concrete finishing work (takes lots of experience). Got all the bracing up Monday and they showed up Tuesday morning to pour the slab. Man it sure looks bigger now that its poured. Gonna pull the boards off Monday and start towards getting the metal and perlins for the roof and walls. I just cant wait to start putting stangs and bikes inside for a change. Hopefull we can get it all done by August and then start on the dyno section of the shop. In my evil voice, "Its all going just as I have designed", wwwhaaaahaaaaaa.
Should go and get my new project by the end of next month, 71 429SCJ, and it will have a beautifull home to share with the 91 and the 70. Damm I am excited!
When its all finished Im gonna throw one heck of a party so get your dancing shoes ready and be ready to throw down.
Well gotta go back to work so I can pay for all this ****. Later..

Dude!!! You gotta put a lift in there!!

A guy I used to know runs a shop doing vinyl work. However, he's got a quick little juiced coupe and his dad also deals in used cars. The short of it comes down to that they have a nice overhead hydraulic lift. They pay a monthly fee for it (don't remember how much, but it isn't high) and after a given time, it's theirs. A new post-style lift runs around $2500 and if you pay that out over several years, it's doable.

Reminds me of the slogan for Rolls Scaffolds, a local industrial tool rental business in El Rio:

"Erection Specialists - We Always Get It Up!"

Congrats on getting things together! This is where even the best of them fall apart. Keep up the good work!

Take care,

Sweet, I can't wait to see it

Post some pics if you can.

crewzin · 05-19-2002, 03:36 PM

Ill get some pics up soon. Gonna finish getting the boards off it today when I get off work. As far as a lift, its coming too, been looking around and got a few different prices. A friend of mine got one for 600 bucks at a auction and it had never been used. I might wait and see if I can find one like that. Its just screaming for me to finish it. I just hope its gonna be big enough to put all my stuff inside.

Speaking of signs, Bellaire Plumbing here in Houston says "We never sit down on the job", (picture of a toilet).
