Moving forward in the shop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Finished siding the outside walls of the new paint booth. Installed an old exterior door and painted the walls. Next is the install of the "observation" windows. And I have to paint that door. Little ugly right now but will be nice to have. I also installed the 28' track for the sliding door. The door will be all metal galvanized studs with the entire surface of filters. The door will slide over the opening and air filteration will go though it. I should also get the lights hung under the overhang this week. And then I will build the work benches under the windows. I picked up 3 sheets of 30" x 72" stainless with 3/4" lips. (freebies) Will be really nice to have clean slick table tops to work on. Then I move inside the room. It is 16' x 35' roughly. 700 square ft. of storage above.
I had to take a little time out to hang the old GM metal tins and some of my license plates. The wife hits the antique malls and picks me up all the pairs she can find. Some day one of those sets will grace my truck.

Kevin, Thats going to be a nice setup, its came along way since I was last up there, did you get your electrical ran yet?

nu2-72 · 05-19-2005, 09:56 PM

No, my supplier has been on vacation this week. Nice having cost contacts through work.
I planted beans and milo plots last night and met with my other landowner tonight. Have 45 more acres to plant this week and I will be done with planting. Getting the wheelers ready for the trip. Been moving parts and mowing a lot.
You will have to come up again and bring Joan. We can fire up the grill and smoke something. I'll show you around the place. We are officially a farm now.

looks like a "manland" mecca, for sure

Looking good Kevin, must be nice to have a BIG shop!!!!

nu2-72 · 05-20-2005, 10:50 PM

Well, it's like this. I had to build a big shop while I am working. So if I loose this job, I can open a juice bar. Dancers on the top level, bar stools where the windows were, pool tables in the booth. My problem is the only juice I like is Jack Black.
Really though, it just seems like they are never big enough but truth is when the truck is back in one piece, it will be plenty.
And if I move out the stuff that runs now, great place for a party. I still need to finish up the bathroom. You will have to see it sometime.

looks great! I love the idea about the juice bar! LOL

A difference in age I guess, I love the idea about a bathroom!

teeitup · 05-20-2005, 11:24 PM

Jack Black???? I used to drink that 20 years ago, now I can't even stand to smell it (I may of drank to much of it from 16-21 years of age) Now I'm on the Crown Royal kick!!!

I'd love to come up, we need to get everyone together for a GOOD time!!!!!!!!! Dancers are always good but I don't think my wife would like the idea!!!!

Edmond · 05-21-2005, 03:29 AM

Kevin,That shop is bigger than my house

Can't wait to see it for real. So your a farm now? Well good luck. Must be hard work.
Now all you need is a place for the band to play

I know the Rolling Stones are starting to tour agian in August, that would be a good start

Talk to ya' later.

Cya,
Edmond

I'm sure at 62, Mick would like the idea of the bathroom too. No offense Rob.
