hobospyder Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Progress maybe? Rust eating primered and first coat of undercoating to the top side. Figure I'll do two to three coats. Changed her spark plugs to see if that helps any. And while I was in the garage attempted to put on the nos fender emblems. Had a slight issue with that. So I looked at the one that was still hanging on Hmmmmmmmm...................................... 2 Link to comment

hobospyder Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 don't trust her for that far yet Kevin. Rear end needs some work, ordered a pinion seal last week waiting for the call to go get it. Slow progress dude, slow progress 1 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Went back out to the shop and did second coat on the top side and since it was raining built a makeshift shelter for it so it didn't get wet And then while poking around out there I found out the lights under the loft work. So much brighter Need to get around to finish cleaning the whole shop and start working on getting it water proof. Then electrical starts and rewalling 5 Link to comment

hobospyder Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Lets see a tour of your shop space. Looks pretty sweet man. as requested here is the outside of the shop, it is an 1800 sqft pole barn from the man door corner and the car side, has a one post lift in front of toolbox the loft/fallen side up on the loft the reason i said fallen side is because the foundation in the corner by the door has fallen 4-6 inches minimum. it's really the first thing most people notice when they walk into the shop. there is a compressor room on the back side of the shop that i will use when i get the shop renovated. going to rewire and rewall the thing after the roof gets fixed and maybe after the floor gets fixed 1 Link to comment

Draker Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Damn dude, why are we not neighbors? That is like my dream.. tons of room to work, lots of storage, a lift, lights, air.. Congrats man. Nice place! Is that tennis court yours too? If I found a place like that around here... it would either be a long ass commute to work and $$$, or just straight up $$$$$. Thanks for the tour, love it. Also can't wait to see your shop renovation. 4 Link to comment

hobospyder Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have some epoxy for the house garage, thinking I want to get some tiles for out there too Link to comment
Draker Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have some epoxy for the house garage, thinking I want to get some tiles for out there too Either one would be bad ass. I've thought about that for my garage too. But mine would need a ton of prep work due to cracks and shit. There is only one expansion join and the floor is wavey fuck. I might just get some cement sealer and call it good. Link to comment
