woah thats a come up. I dream of the day I have room to move around, room to stay organized, heat and most importantly not a leaky roof. congrats.

**joedoh** · 01-13-2017, 04:58 PM

awesome! I am looking at buildings too (stick built) so I can get out of the driveway so I will pay attention. 32x52 is definitely a great size.

**Advanced Design** · 01-13-2017, 06:39 PM

Congrat's on the coming building! Nice size with 12 foot ceilings to boot. Looking forward to updates.....maybe a shop build thread over in the shop section?

ChuckDriver · 01-13-2017, 08:56 PM

Nice!

Did you save enough for a lift?

Yes, I made sure to leave room in the budget on this project for a lift and a new air compressor

I hadn't thought of that, but I think I probably will do so! Once I get started, of course

7dee2 · 01-17-2017, 11:49 AM

Very nice, I'll 2nd or 3rd the shop build thread idea!

**JJorgensen52** · 06-26-2018, 09:11 PM

Hey fellas, look what I found!!

bowt1ed · 06-27-2018, 10:38 AM

Hey JJ, did you get your new building up?

Cheers, Jim (VB)

We are working on it. I have so many things going on right now, getting married, new job, etc ... So I haven't been working on it as much as I might. I do need to update that thread, too. I am remiss!

**JJorgensen52** · 07-16-2018, 02:14 AM

Red is home! Hopefully will find time to start figuring out where I left off in the next few weeks

Those of you who are also paying attention to the garage I was working on may notice this is most certainly not that garage. Long story short, the garage belongs to a friend (military and stationed out of the country) who's house I have been renting for over two years - but I just recently got married and have moved into a new place with an already finished garage. I will still be working on and using the other garage, it's about a half hour away. But, this new place means I can get back to trucks sooner!!

99 to Life · 07-16-2018, 11:07 AM

congrats

lower50's · 07-24-2018, 05:38 PM

Having you own work shop really helps.

**JJorgensen52** · 11-26-2018, 07:54 PM

Only a very small thing, but I did something on the truck and that's a big step up from the last two years.

Fitted the other tailgate latch

Hoping to get some more shop play time in the coming weeks.

**Advanced Design** · 11-26-2018, 10:52 PM

Good! One thing will lead to another, then another and....said the guy who has barely touched his since Jan ‘17...lol.

**JJorgensen52** · 01-07-2019, 12:20 AM

Just a quick update, got a few hours this afternoon to play in the garage ... last few free days were taken up pulling the motor out of my Impala

... and started building a new trans cover. Got a ways to go, but it's a start!

99 to Life · 01-07-2019, 10:40 AM

nice, just one of those things that add time to the build that most people don't blink and eye to. looking good.

blackbart63mule · 05-17-2019, 02:13 PM

Any progress? Really enjoyed going thru yer build. dog.

Thanks, man! Glad to have you aboard. No tangible progress to report. Had a new garage helper join the family, so my project time has been quite limited ... And what little I have had has gone towards trying to get a motor back in my Impala 😉

Cute little guy! Enjoy them while they are young, they grow up so fast. Boy, do I know how life gets in the way of these projects, but, if we persist, it’ll get done some day! Good luck gettin the motor in the imp.

**JJorgensen52** · 05-23-2019, 07:49 AM

Thank you gents! Doing what I can in bite size increments. Once the wife is out of school for the summer, hopefully will have a bit more time

**8man** · 05-23-2019, 06:06 PM

Just found your build. Some really "steal able" ideas, and nice fabwork. I like the helper too, hope he follows in your footsteps.

Glad to have you aboard! If this photo is anything to go by (taken yesterday), he's right on track!!!

**JJorgensen52** · 11-12-2020, 02:06 AM

Holy old thread, batman!

Since Veteran's day is a day off for us employees of Uncle Sam, my wife was kind enough to let me play in the shop during work hours. I'm knocking the cobwebs off this project by starting in on the brake lines.

I built a mount for my proportioning valve back in 2015, but never actually plumbed it up to the master. Took care of that this morning - only had to redo one of the two, buggered up a flare. Plenty of clearance to the fender support rod and fuse block.

After that, hung some rear calipers and then cleaned up and welded back on the caliper hose tabs. I cut these off back when I was fitting the axle - I think because they were in the way of where I had to sleeve the axle to fit the new saddles for the trailing arms. They went back on easily enough.

Hopefully this weekend I will get to some frame lines! And to those of you who are serving, or have been in the service - thanks!

FarmerSid · 11-18-2020, 08:16 PM

Good to see you back at it. I've been away for a bit too.
