We've had a busy year. The challenge, multiple LSR events, 6000 miles of towing crossing 36 state borders, AND we built a new shop. I am very grateful for such a blessing to have an opportunity to have this new building. As some of you know, we have been working in an old barn..no heat, no AC, poor lighting...but I appreciated what we have. And now...Our new building has heat and AC AND LIGHTS. I am still pinching myself. The first car on the floor was a Studebaker, so it has been properly Christened. Hope you don't mind me sharing. and in case you're wondering, it's 54 outlets.

Wow, that's amazing! We just moved into a new shop as well, but it's nowhere near as nice as yours.

Is that little split-pac going to be able to keep it cool in there?

Straightening car frames. It's amazing how crooked most are. One is for the tubing bender, so I don"t have to do it outside anymore.

The floor is extra thick with plenty of rebar so I can jack heavy loads or set in a mill at a later date.

Our next planned projects certainly dictates a more accurately built chassis. The floor is level and smooth, lighting is better....long story short, we are expecting higher caliber products too.

Good thing you took some pictures-it will never look that empty (or clean) again!

We're cleaning up all the old work areas first. That way we know where stuff is and we only put the minimum necessary into the new shop. What a pain to try to be focussed and not run in and start working on something right away.
