Well.... I'm done.

[Faethor]

I've pretty much decided that the car phase is mostly done.

The 1970 Mustang Coupe will be going up for sale for parts probably here soon... it just needs so much work that I neither have the time nor the energy to complete it.

I've got a couple lines out for getting someone to come in and take a look at the engine in the 63 Lincoln. I am pretty sure I know what it is but I am not about to tear the transmission out of the thing to see if I am right (see above about the time and energy )

As soon as I complete the septic that goes off of the shop and I can get to the car hauler again... it will more than likely go up for sale as well (or we'll trade it out for a pre-1970 pickup truck). Specially since we got rid of the Durango so I have nothing to pull it with anyhow!

You may ask why (probably a lot of you are asking who!?!? ) but I finally realized it here a few months back when I was out shopping for cars. I sat in a brand new GT and it did absolutely nothing for me... I even sat inside a new Stage 3 Roush and got nothing out of it. However I will be looking at the new Challengers when the regular production version comes out later this year.

About the only thing other than the Challenger that is interesting me is repurchasing a 1973 Mach I like I had back in college.. but even that one would have to be complete and ready to drive.

The shop will eventually be turned into a glass studio for my wife and I to do our work in so at least 2500 sq ft of building won't go to waste

Once I get everything settled and know what and when I'll be back to let you all know what I'll be getting rid of for sure.... I am thinking that a lot of tools will be going at that point as well.

Later!

Michael! It's Jeff - the guy who bought your Cobra. The bug never leaves you man. You'll be back!

Also - it should be illegal to use an awesome shop, like yours, for anything but cars! Seriously, you have the best garage out of anyone that I know!

Well I have already decided that the 70 coupe needs to go but I am unsure as to how much would actually be of use to you. To give you an idea... I bought the car hoping to restore it... then I realized that I needed to find a donor car for it.. then later I realized that I had the donor car and needed one to donate to Plus since it is a coupe so that limits parts for your fastback. I need to go out and look at the new parts that came with the car.. I know there is an AC unit out there.. headliner... couple of other things. Comes with a 302 as well.

Oh I don't doubt it will be back... but I do know that anything new bought to go into it will not need the kind of work that some of my other projects need! But then that brings up all sorts of other issues that I am going to have to address out there if I am going to start having classics out there... namely the dampness! That was one of the big reasons for selling the Cobra since I did not have what I would consider an appropriate place to store it. I'd almost have to build a garage within the shop!
