1969 Road Runner facelift

[northerndave]

Thanks prop... And with that... I slip into moving mode. We sold our place next to the neighbors from hell and purchased a nicer place about 5 miles down the road. Beautiful home with a huge attached garage, the bad news is there is no shop...

So, I will be a car shiner and tinkerer... not so much with the car building for a while until I can build another shop.


After we get moved in and settled in... Hunting seasons begin, which runs damn near till Christmas, then it's ice fishing.

Thanks guys.

I'll be content with simply walking out of the house, into the heated attached garage in my slippers and tinkering with the road runner this winter.

I might wear other clothes too besides the slippers, but I don't have to if I don't want to. LMAO!!



New shop to come, someday.

Nice looking place. My friend has one of those "awesome garage with an attached house". Makes me jealous!

 

[northerndave]

We're super excited, moving in this week. I will be without a shop for an unknown amount of time.

That's ok for the short term though, I could use a break from the heavy resto work with the all inclusive ugliness that comes with it. Cutting bad metal out, splitting spot welds, buckets and buckets of dirt and rust flakes, old undercoating and mysterious filth raining down on a man's face as you slave away from a horribly contorted and compromised position under a car.... All the grinding and sanding, welding.... yeah I can use a break from all the heavy work for a while. I think I might try being one of these classic car "Owners" for a while. My big projects will be mounting a new set of wheels and tires, detailing the dash, checking the air pressure in the tires or changing the oil lol!

I'm very much ready to be that guy for a while.

Here's a view of the house that's attached to the garage.

Another angle from behind the house where you go into the garage.
