Its gas fired. I haven't even looked that close or fiddled with it. Its rock steady at 62 degrees. I see condensation out the vent in the morning, thats all I know other than its a tee shirt environment!

That is a dream shop man, what are the dimensions on it?

Thanks, man! I couldn't pass it up, even with the dirty old house.

40x60

It has about 150 sq ft bathroom that I'll be reducing to about 25 sq ft.

Isn't that always the way it goes? I always wished I'd bought a two post lift instead of the four post I had in Houston. You can still stack two cars with a two post and the accessibility is much better. Not to mention it works great to split the body from the chassis and vice versa. My current shop barely has a 7' ceiling right thru the middle of it. Even the small scissor lifts would be a waste of money. I'm green with envy.

Making a little progress on this shop. Getting closer to C10 time!

Looks great, John. Has Knuckles been able to help you get setup?

Thanks, Vic! He's a boat-load of encouragement, but he's working seven days a week. I have him roped into dinner here every Sunday night, but that's about all I see him these days. He'd be here in a snap if I really needed a hand though.

Lookin' good! I wish I'd have done indoor heat.

[jlsanborn]

Thanks, Chip! It's still coming together, slowly...

Today I dropped off that old 327 at the machine shop! Remember them Icon forged domes and Scat 6 inchers? This dude is slow, but does NICE work. I'm sure it'll be a few months before I get the call... "what were we doing with this thing again?".

I've still been moving stuff in and last weekend I ripped the tub/shower and vanity out of that bathroom. That'll make room for some steel cabinets I have and some shelves I'm going to build. Also going to order up some 10 gauge sheet, broke to 24" with a 4" back splash and 2" edge for some work tops.

Got a sweet B-day present! Wish I had this thing back in the day. I'll put it to use though!

[jlsanborn]

Updates coming!

[Kronald_70GMC]

Oh man I've been waiting for this!

[KMC3420]

That tire and wheel combo!!!

[Low Elco]

Dang, did you get the outside too? Looks great!

[Scurry67]

I really enjoyed reading the thread. Looking forward to the updates!

Dude, what a saga. You had me at 327 and I proceeded to read all 39 pages. shop looks fantastic, I hope the house is going well. Hope for you to have the time, space, resources to get your trucks dialed in.

Nice. I will be running the same hub cap on my '65, but with a white wheel.

Wouldn't you know it... Work has me on the road, probably not home until Thursday. I pulled the trigger on a pile of small parts (and some big stuff!). It's all shipped except for the instrument cluster and the bedwood strips and hardware.

I have not painted the outside. I'm a little concerned on how we broke it up. I'm wishing now that we had painted the whole outside of the cab. I think we can blend into the door jambs no sweat, but we should have had a hard line right under the chrome strip across the back of the cab. We're a little below that. Again, learning $hit the hard way!

I dropped my short block parts off at the new-new-new machine shop last FEBRUARY. I'll need to rattle that cage again here soon. My parts list is getting pretty short!

Thanks for looking in!

[jlsanborn]

Updates coming... Machine work is done, cam is here, lots of other stuff in the wing! Busted out the final paint tonight. Stay tuned!

[Kronald_70GMC]

Well im excited to see this thing!

[Vic1947]

Good color, John. You been busy - flying under the radar.

Glad to see you here, Vic! Bought this awesome shop but it came with a $hitty little house. I have a pipe run out to the shop for network but still need to get that into the buildings. That's really limiting my web time! We've had hit-n-miss runs on the truck to get it to this point. I've stockpiled a bunch of new bits and have just about everything to put this little mouse together. I've been trying to snitch some Glyptal from a pal.

I've tried my best to follow your wagon build. Holy crap, man! You keep that dang bar soo high! That is some stellar work you do and you should be damned proud of that.

[jlsanborn]

Ten years to paint. There are flaws and bugs but it's gonna buff out NICE! The bedsides aren't perfect but they came out better than I thought they would. I just ordered the correct core support mounts and will be getting some Red Oak here soon for the bed. I already have the new strips and hardware, just need to prep and paint.
