My "shop" 2 years ago, shortly after we moved in.
Summer of 2020, we spent the entire summer insulating the sides, stepping the front trusses for an overhead door, hanging a ceiling and blowing insulation in and installed a radiant heater. My wife helped me a LOT on this. She even drives the fork lift around with me on a pallet doing the high work. And the fork lift is a manual trans... This corner was the subject of this weekends work. It's hard to see, but there are 3 white switches over against the outside wall. The back 8' of the building was a previous owners work space and the switch of the lights back there is one of those. One other powers the exhaust fan in the peak and the other an outlet they had in the loft for a radio and party lights. WHY anyone would put the switches way over there has been a mystery an annoyance to me. I have 13 sheets of galvanized pole building siding I brought from my previous shop and decide this weekend was the time to use them up and fix the switch issue. I pulled the patchwork of sheet rock pieces and extended the wires to the door. Seems people in the past couldn't make up their mind where they wanted the door, as it appears they moved it not once but twice by the 2 added sections. And look at that professional carpentry... I had already moved all the equipment from the outside wall and covered behind them yesterday. Today I got this mess put back together. I have enough sheets yet to go beyond the door another 6 feet, but that will wait for another day.

I got my "NOS" tachometer back from Instrument Specialties today. I dropped it off with them at MCACN. Although there aren't any marks to indicate this was ever mounted on a panel, IS said it never could have worked, as the solder on the circuit board overran 2 circuits. No clue if it was an over the counter purchase that was returned for being defective, or a take out from a delivered car as defective. They rebuilt the circuit board, replaced the foam gaskets that hold the cardboard tube for the oil light and calibrated it. Now I know, when I get around to installing it in my car, it will work...

Oh, yeah, you will like that ! I had one in my previous shop for 20 years and brought it with to the new place too. Hated having hoses running all over the floor before.
We had mild temps Saturday, so I brought my blast cabinet from the back storage building up to the shop and set it up. Except for the hose from the cabinet to the vacuum. I haven't found that yet...

Wish I was smart enough to post pictures! After getting the body of my 70 Z project painted last week, I got the nose painted and hung. Haven’t seen it in one piece in a LOOONG time. Forest Green, black vinyl roof, green interior. Now my body guy wants it out of the shop and my Morton garage hasn’t gotten off the ground yet, and winter is right around the corner!

The easiest way to post pics is with a picture website. Most pictures are too big/too many pixels, to post directly from your computer/phone. Lee Stewart uses this site https://postimages.cc/ I THINK this site is free ? I use photobucket. They are not free. I am grandfathered in at $35/yr. New accounts are much more. You can chose the size to copy and paste into your post here, so you don't get the message that your pic is too big. If you want to send some to me, I will host them on photobucket and post them here. Shoot me a PM for my email.

Just FYI, I haven't used a website to host my pics, I just shared them from my computer and they worked on the site.

Over the last few days I've been cleaning the intake on the Camaro, painted the front lift hook, replaced the worn-out gaskets and today reinstalled everything with new correct bolts. Been way too long with the car apart to fix a vacuum leak so should be on the road again soon. Always a battle between getting it perfect and just getting it running
