If I ever get a shop (and a budget) big enough to do what you do in your shop, I would love to attempt/ learn to do the things you do in your shop.
also, when my dad was racing at Lyons, he painted his dragster (37 Chevrolet coupe) behind our house in, gasp, the great outdoors (granted, Lakewood California does not have the natural impediment of many places). he did the same thing when we moved to Oregon. It was 5 years after we got there before he actually had an indoor shop.... you struck a nerve because I get really tired of reading magazine articles, listening to "the experts" say it's impossible to do anything without a million dollars in shop equipment, or even having a "hired team" to build a car.
so, as the commercial says, just do itLast edited by SuperBuickGuy; August 14, 2012, 03:02 PM.Doing it all wrong since 1966
