Haha, so today i was on the phone with my dad. Complaining how bored i was due to the fact i have this stupid week off from school. He suddenly made my day when he told me to go ahead and take the front end of the slick, and get ready to take the motor out. So that's what i did today. Boy do i love my heated garage

. 18 degrees out, but 70 in the garage. Nothing like having the tv going and working on a slick. By the time dad was home, i had here pretty much all set, besides a damn bolt i could not get out of the alternator. Dad cam hme we set up the "cherry picker" and called it a night, either tomorrow or thirsday she'll be out.

This is what she looked like before.

Taking the "a/c" unit out and painting the engine bay and add some more chrome

Heres some updated pictures, for some reason there very dark. I took them with my iphone.

Nothing like a heated garage with some beautiful fords in it, She's 40x 50 or something like that, holds the truck,car, 2 wheelers and trailer all year round.! Not the prettiest from the outside but were getting it sided in the summer. From record says it was a dump truck storage building in the 20's. Rebuilt now and used to the fullest!

I can certainly appreciate your comment on how it's nice to have a shop, I just wish mine was heated. Just built it last year and haven't made it to the insulation and heating yet. 36' x 54', if anyone lives close you're welcome to come hang out and work on your slick anytime, I love this stuff.

Here's the outside.

Heres the inside with a picture of my 68 Mustang California Special. So nice to have room to work on stuff and store stuff.
