But it would be worth the drive ...... in case that needed to be said !!

Well, you don't have to worry about that for a little while. The shop is full.

Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, the other truck got here today.

I got the last nut of the AC system tightened up. It was a pain, ended up taking the battery and tray out.

Here's the board members truck. The winner that guesses whose it is wins absolutely nothing. Shannon, Kevin and Ronnie are exempt.

Now that's using all the available space.

My small heater (55K) just took forever to heat up the shop and ran all the time. Shannon donated his (170K) to the cause and it runs maybe 5 minutes and the shop went from 48 to 56*. It's also thermostatically controlled. It scared the crap out of me the first time it kicked on when we were working and paying no mind to it. I love that thing. Thinking about removing the wood heater.

Your wood burning stove is probably fine, you may just need a source of air circulation. Better to blow from the ceiling down towards the floor, in a direction that will move the air in a circular direction thru the room.
The only bad thing about wood burning stoves is they require attention thru the day, and dont come with a thermostat.
The bad thing about those multi-fuel forced air heaters is the price of the fuels, and the fumes/carbonmonoxide.

When I build my shop I will have both.
I am an options kind of guy

[Solo2002]

Good to see you getting plenty of work ill be glad when I get busy again. Good luck with them.

I like the wood heater, but it's not very efficient. It likes wood. I also use a box fan to circulate the air in the shop. Cieling fans are in the plans.

Thanks Jeff, maybe you can use the video on your next truck.

I went junkin today and found and bought a Dakata Digital gauges for a 64-66 NIB. He also had a roller Crane Cam complete with roller tip rockers, lifters, and push rods all NIB for a SBC. I checked the price on the cam alone and it was $450. He wanted $600 for all of it. I was affraid that I might have been stuck with it.

It's cool to see Dakota digital gauges. There buisness is right in town just down the block from me. Pretty cool us South Dakotans can contribute to the classic truck cause. Hahaha

Thanks Dennis!! I read the comment and it is really appreciated.

It's at the top as far as votes go.

My goal & wish is to get in a magazine again with my truck when it's done. I made the cover of VW Greats in 1974. You sure do deserve to make one too.
