New shop

Shelldog · 07-27-2005, 12:56 AM

New shop. Sorry for the low res.

and of course, a pic of the new project:

TODO:

transplant rear axle & leafs. Bleed brakes. Probably swap engines. Reinstall interior. Test the new front axle. Get tires that aren't flat. Get safety.

Done alot of work to it, though. This shop is pretty nice. I currently owe about 1700 USD on it. In floor pipes and insulation, 6" walls and 10' studs.

the local carwash armorall/shines everything. You can't tough anything black on the Jeep for weeks after she takes in there, otherwise you get black greasiness all over you.

I didnt mean it like that...i figured other people would post shop pics as well.

Shelldog · 07-28-2005, 12:17 AM

well thats cool, I'm all for that.

not trying to make my shop out to be the best ever, or anything, but I been looking forward to this day for years.

Just wait till it's more done - we have a medieval welding bench with a gigantic vice on it, a semi-assembled workbench, and plan on building a CNC router/mill in the corner for custom CNC work for cars. 'Specially the Jeep.

I'm always interested in hearing other peoples ideas for using shop space and handy ideas for the shop.

Other ideas are to place plenty of outlets everywhere and lots of copper pipe air tubing for air tools.
