Gary, can't say I didn't have the same thought.  But it's tough to find such "personalized" items on the mass market  [smiley=nixweiss.gif] .

Heck w/going to Morton's Steak House. I say we get a pig throw it on the "Barbie" and take a stroll down memory lane in your shop, eat, drink, and be merry. You have it looking good in there. [smiley=2vrolijk_21.gif]

I think what we lack in gears we can make up in strength.  It is a billet piece after all   !

Thanks D00d.  Appreciate the hell out of that.  It really is a play room of course.  Especially over on the side where the cars are parked.  But it's not a fancy finished floor or anything.  And it's easy to find hand prints on the wall between all the signage when you look.  The place is very much a working shop however.  You could really see that with pics from the other side.  

I do all the work on the old cars there down to off the frame on things past and things upcoming.  Don't even try to keep it as a pristine showplace.  Just a good neat clean shop to work in.  Doing it like that things are going to get dirty and smudged.  But that's ok.  It's how I like it and how I'm comfortable working in it.

By the way, here's one for Spiderman.  Brian, this is the office door.  Now you know where the decal went!   A place of honor  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] .

Hey Don sweet digs Bro.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]Wish I had them. i do all my work in an unheated garage under the kids bedroom,but it is indoors and can be heated with kerosene. If I'm ever in your neck of the woods i'd love to check it out. Whatcha got for cars in there? It looks like a 50 something vette. Lets see some car shots. Later,Q

Hey Don sweet digs Bro.

This was a Camaro I had until about year and a half ago.  It went down to the frame but someone wanted it worse than I did.....

[The Mysterious Q!]

Thanks for the pics Don. You have some sweet rides as well as the garage.    Out,Q

The current project out there is my 66 El Camino with a 396.

DON I REALY LIKE THAT 57, WILL IT EVER BE ON THE MARKET [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

G.O., I've sold several cars I did resto on over the years.  But I always knew when I was working on them that they could go and it wouldn't have any great impact on me.  They were toys, and fun toys, but they weren't ever anything special.

That T-bird was a car my dad always wanted.  He was in ill health for several years before he died and I got that as a project for him for Christmas one year.  We worked on it together as much as he was able and I got it finished for him about 18 months before he died.  So we got a good chance to ride it around, take it to shows and have fun with it.  Until such a time as I'm too old to ever use them and too senile to ever miss them that car will always be with me.

The vette has nearly the same attachment.  Dad and I played in it a lot together.  And in those last 18 months or so had them out together (and against each other) as much as we could.  Even before that though it always meant a lot to me.  Have turned down more money than I ever should have for that car.  But it just feels right having it around.

It's weird that as many of these toys as I've gone through over the years I may actually be getting to a point where the stable becomes stable for awhile.  The current El Camino project has a good feeling about it and the upcoming Impala may very well be the last big nutso restoration project I tackle; at least for a long time.  It's really the first time I can remember looking forward to actually just having them and not rebuilding them.  Will enjoy the maintenance and tinkering of course.  But am not as enamored as I once was about tearing them down to the floor and starting over again.
