Thanks Glen.... Ya... So did I.... Daughters influence there.... I don't mind at all. It reminds me what's important in life.

And there is nothing more important than that right there.

just kidding, i love the plan. all the better-than-new restos are nice but i love seeing a true Kustom. but no metalflake paint? wishing i had the art skills to do a rendering of Jim and the boat a la the Rat Fink school of car art Rat Fink Cartoon - View Ed Roth's Rat Fink Cartoon

B2 --- ya... it's a little more open at the moment but....

I got kinda bored last night and decided to rip my garage apart --- again. The boat is completely filled with all of my tools and strangely a doll house!

Decided to move my work bench to the back. Ripping out the shelves and closet at the boat and opening up an area of roughly 16'x7'. Reasoning (besides madness! .... simple. The boat can't be used as a workbench during the build like I did previously. So I thought... why not rip it all apart and see how it turns out!

Anyway, I will post some pic's up this weekend and next weekend I should have gluvit to continue forward!

Happy Friday folks!!!

Jim

Flowers in the workshop! And now a dollhouse in the Falcon! We need to do an intervention before time runs out. :facepalm:

But making room and organizing is good.

Thanks bf! No doubt about finding stuff now...
Temp was 2 degrees f this morning and it was 60 f in the shop. I leave it on med high. I put it to high when I got in there and had to turn it down. Got to hot. But i have it insulated well.

I was expecting to see more fruit wreaths, it's hard to express my disappointment:grumpy:

Nice looking work space before, better now.

Re: 1960's Falcon Rebuild (New Title)

Nice and clean and open, IM. But you do have a slight problem. You're using flotation foam for insulation. :lol:

If you lived say 2000 km closer, I'd be right there for ya man!!

Ahhh.... look closer man... there are two little replacements for the temporary fruit wreath absence --- just for the fruit wreath lovers!

Thanks man! Just trying to make it easier to do good work for ya!

Thanks GA! Yup... that was slotted for the boat! But keeping warm seemed to be a better option with the minus 20F+ temps we've been having of late! I'll get some more in a week or two when I get the utility trailer back --- no worries!

Hey thanks Bear! Took the Admiral out to show her last night... "look honey... isn't this a lot better, warmer and way more organized"... her response was two fold "looks great... and why didn't you do this years ago??!"

Ya... as we all know, having a great place to work in is equivalent to attitude in life... it's the 90% factor. The other 10% is blood, sweat, tears, hair pulling, head bonking, back breaking work!

I still like it despite the 10% factor!

Re: 1960's Falcon Rebuild (New Title)

Gluvit ordered is one step closer to getting in the boat.
