Good Luck on the shop, it's been a learning experience for me with all the rules and regulations, back burn, it was back burner, now it's no burner no space no time no nothing!!!

Hopefully that will change soon,

yes, it's been a hassle, but when we bought this house for 170K, I can't see spending the same to 220K to build a block building that was to be 50x50, then the building size shrank to 38x50, yet, still to big, so, now I'm out money for the septic system, don't need it, down to a 38x38 building. Been to a varience hearing, got that, had to do a area determination drawing, pain in the ***, paid for big elborate plans for the first building, don't need those, but at least he drawing up the mother in law sweet for me, so, 14 months later, here we are,

"The good thing on the wiper conversion it can be done on the cheap, instead of DSE big money prices,"

So who is doing the wiper conversion. I am interested in doing the same on my 65 Skylark. Mine has the single speed box style wiper motor on there now.

earlier in thread, I mentioned prices, since it was going to cost so much to build out of block, I went the route of metal buildings,

My height is 14' peak, so I really dont have a ceiling height right now, but, I plan on doing lights and a fan, so I might have a drop ceiling of sorts,

Matt keep me informed on your building, I want to know how it goes for you, good luck,

oh, I don't even look at the car anymore, too busy trying to find a real job in this god forsaken state,

please people, don't move here, there's no real good jobs, don't add to our unemployment rate, if I wasn't so established here with wife, kids, house's, cars trucks family etc, I haul my *** else where,

I'll get off my soap box now,

I really don't have much to say, or much to post, that's why I don't visit many of the car forums anymore,
