Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....

Guys, I don't think that is his shop. Looks like a pic taken at the muffler shop...

But, if I'm wrong, then, WOW, nice shop and lift!

Sorry for any confusion. The photo is from inside the muffler shop. It's getting professionally exhausted.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....

Here are the first photos of the garage-shop. It was a 2.5 with another 2.5 added on. It lets out into a paved alleyway. Stepside seems to like it in there. More photos to follow.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....

Its been a busy year, an not having internet has surely sucked, but that time has passed. I just have to limit myself now, or whole days will evaporate in front of my eyes for certain!

The truck is nestled in a corner, whilst the Tempest parked in front of it seems be getting buried in junk I am too busy to find a home for....

Yes, it is still just a camper out there, and not an Arctic one either. I would be dying if I were out there right now as it is only 12* outside.

No sir, we bought it. We are going to apartmentize the upstairs of the house, and keep the basement as an in-town crash pad and classic car storage until we build out in the boonies, and they pave the road out there.

Yeah man, life got a hold of me hard. Just as we were closing on this place, the very first house I bought became vacant after some renters that had been there 10 years. The amount of work that has gone into that place has pretty much eclipsed anything other than my fledgling art endeavors. Since 4th of July weekend I have only been taking Sundays off and that is only because there is a figure drawing class I go to.

Last thing I did to it was got it exhausted this Summer, but have not wired in the cut-outs or anything else to it since.

Still it sits with 2.5 miles on the odo.......

Hallo Mr McMurphy.

Good to see you here.

Maybe you can show us some of your drawings, I suspect that in the absence of truck or car progress many of us would enjoy other updates as a blog.

If you think it worth doing.

Ok....if you guys want to see that sort of stuff, I will post a couple up I suppose.


This first one is a blank sketch cover the comic book industry came out with. The intent was for people to be able to draw a cover for the comic that is inside.

The second one is Hulk vs The Tick (in case you live under a cartoon/humor rock and did not know who the Tick is)

Third is Ms Marvel/Carol Danvers on a trading card (2.5 x 3.5 inches the same size as a deck of playing cards)

The last one is a Deadpool and Spiderman hook up, arguing over things that friends argue over..... also on a trading card.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....

For those who remember this build, I just wanted to say I am almost done with the house project that has consumed every waking moment since last July. I am growing ever more painfully aware that I have not laid hands on my build for 2.5 years now. It still only has 2 miles on the Odo.... bleh.
