well I am happy to report I am actualy using the internet from my new house for the first time...we got everything here but we still have alot of stuff to finish like paint and trim but it is nice to finaly have water pressure and heat/air.

let me tell you to all the packrats out there that stash parts all over the place...don't move just give that crap away. that was the stuff that took me the longest and it has now filled my spot in the garage untill I can figure out how to get my storage building on to the car trailer to move it out here. I still got tons of stuff in another county to get so I can start my next 4x4 project...

Welcome back! I know what you mean about moving your parts stash. Really sucked the last time I moved. I've been thinning out my parts stash for awhile now, and resisting the urge to jump on deals I see come along. I'll probably be moving again in the spring/summer.

I can guarantee that a shop will be a little higher on the wifes list the next time around. She would really like a garage that she can use!

yeah, mine decided to cut my shop from the budget and now we have the same problem. I am planning to go and get my old storage shed to stash all my larger parts.

she wanted granet counters and extra trim so that is what she got...

:eek: You've got your work cut out... Is it currently driveable? A couple weeks for me has turned into over a year now :rolleyes: The wait should be worth it though.

yeah, it moves on its own power it just has some drive shaft issues and is in need of alot of cleaning, metal work, and paint. I plan to tear it down over my 4 day week end for christmas and start doing one part at a time. the tub is what is going to take some time I got a few supports to replace and all the floor pans except the tranny tunnel and under the seat area. for the most part it is riged enough to do a piece at a time and still keep it strait. it is going to be a slow process but I will post up as I go...

thanks plowboy, I am finaly getting to where I can actualy enjoy the last years worth of work....
