70 Custom--It's HOME

[67mann]

Where did you get the sheet metal piece used in the bed for the gas tank filler neck? Is it a stock piece? What about the fuel door?

That's a stock piece....came out of my F250CS...I have 2 actually, but the truck is in storage and they are buried amongst all the rest of the parts The fuel door was cut out of the bed of the 76F100 I used for my disc brake upgrade

She'll be waiting for you to kiss her and wake her up, Jerry! Looking forward to when you get back on her.

Randy...I wish it could be sooner, but the only gain on the new shop is the gravel base(and I still need more)for the concrete slab....back elevation had to come up bout 3' to level off my site.....24x36....and if I've done my homework right...after the slab's poured...the backhoe is up for sale and should cover the cost of materials

I feel like the new guy around here but, I'll dig up my history....and as soon as the weather breaks. Concrete work starts for my NEW shop and with any luck the old girl will be home by the end of this year

Love your thought process on the backhoe-the slab will be more than worth it, I'm doing something similar to get back to Florida if all works out right.

This really has been a long time coming
I've still got a way's to go before the old girl comes home


The smaller(18x18) part will be the wood shop for the business

The bigger side(28x32) will provide me with the room to work and store

Any updates on what is in the new shop?

[67mann]

All of the material to finish it is sitting in piles inside it. Drywall, OSB, Insulation, Electrical wire and outlets. I'm slammed with work(thank God) and have had very little time to work on it. The garage doors are installed and the last of the steel is done. My cabinets come next week and I do park my work van inside now. My hunting season is non existent but, I'm still going to try and get the "Old Girl" home by spring

Kudos to you Jerry! I can still remember years ago when you were digging the footer for the slab!
But where's my room bud LOL?!
And where does the gambrel get hung from?

But where's my room bud LOL?!
