I've been thinking and pondering a bit on my fuel fill, after looking at the piece of pipe installed in the frame, I think I may not box the inside of the rail there, but use a doubler plate on the outside instead. A little more fab work for me, but I think it will be cleaner, just as strong, and it won't restrict my access to various bolts and wiring running through that area.

**JJorgensen52** · 05-25-2016, 09:58 PM

Well, life happened. I'm transferring at work and that also means moving:

Only about 50 miles away from where I am now, but unfortunately the new place doesn't have a shop (yet

). So sadly, that means Red is going into storage for a bit.

But, this is the first time Red has been on all fours more or less fully assembled, and I took the opportunity to snap a few "stance shots" - I am quite happy with the way things are working out!

I'm already antsy to be working on it, so hopefully it won't be too long before I can get some shop space set up and go right back to wrenching!

Well shoot JJ...wondered what you had been up to. Hopefully you will have a shop soon. What about the Buick?

It's going to be moving in just a few doors down from Red - in fact I'm loading it up tonight to take it over there tomorrow. I'm hopefully I'll have space to work again before September.

99 to Life · 05-26-2016, 11:53 PM

Moving sux for the most part. Been going through that myself. Hope you get back on it soon.

7dee2 · 06-11-2016, 01:33 PM

Hoping the move is going smoothly and your enjoying that new truck? Looking forward to more when your ready Jim.

slydogg76 · 12-29-2016, 03:49 PM

Great work! That looked like a wiring nightmare. I think I'll stick to a carburetor and no computer. Hope to see you back at it soon!

**JJorgensen52** · 01-13-2017, 01:32 AM

Hey all! Still no work on Red, I'm afraid. My new position at work takes up far more of my time than I would like, and I had a bunch of delays with the new shop building.

That said ... I've made my deposit and I've got a hard date for the building (steel kit) to be delivered in March!! With any luck I'll be back in the shop this summer

lower50's · 01-13-2017, 08:19 AM

That is so cool 32'X52' is a really nice size. Congrats

solidaxel · 01-13-2017, 08:43 AM

WOW a new hide out !!
Did you save enough for a lift?

99 to Life · 01-13-2017, 12:37 PM

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!

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!
