Spring is in the air garage thread

[memike]

Time to remove a few things and organize my small shop and remove a few things that don't pertain to Victoria's parts and tools needed now that Creed has his own place for his 50 ford project :glasses7:

Not a big shop but a safe and fun place to stay cool and keep Victoria in
and out of the elements

Time to get started making room for my days in the nest

Creed said the 460 will be out today after work :cheers:

I will keep everyone posted as I move forward :colors:

Nice to see that one of us can get to the shop without wading through snow! Enjoy!!

:cheers: I'm with you memike, I think it's time for some spring clean up in the old garage.

Time to get on with some more work on the 65 Cuda...

I have seen what heavy snows are from back in the day in northern Illinois and I have to agree

 

[memike]

Took these just the other day, the shelf you see is 6' high so I can walk under it
and all the boxes are Creed's new front end parts, when he removes them I can put all of my parts up there

 

[1968dartman]

LOL, spring is not in the air in my garage!! I have the gas furnace heating up now so I can go work on the Valiant, still 3 feet of snow in the yard, not including the 5 feet tall snow banks and huge piles LOL

I have no build thread, but progress is slow, front fenders are patched and rear quarter is welded in, car is now in primer with the exception of passenger door. waiting for a new used one. new rear axles and wilwood disc all round, and springs are moved in. the trans has been rebuilt with a brewers kit. I have trial fitted 360 magnum with TTI's with the factory 4 sp and may have to go with a hydralic clutch. front suspension is all rebuilt, and now fitting front sway bar. I also just started my home made frame connectors.

Lots more work to get done.

Looking good Mike!

 

[gdrill]

Looking good Mike! It's nice that it is nearly summer, at least in some places. This is what we woke up to this morning, it's pretty, but at least it's only temporary!

This was my driveway and garage about 2 weeks ago. 2 days after I took
the pic, we got 6 inches of snow. Now today they say couple more. Then
early next week some more! Spring is not in the air around here!
Hell, I don't think I'll be able to get my car out on my birthday. 7th of april.:banghead:rotest:
