unloading shelves from the garage(house) to the shop, finding stuff everywhere,

brake caliper paint for the engine, not sure if I'll be spraying it or not, the floor is actually getting clear, well at least more organized,

Random shots of the shop, still emptying boxes and sorting stuff, there's still more to do, shows the dirt and corrosion on the aluminum, more to do,

No, my VW engine was sold in a dune buggy by my friend,

those are some exhausts I have, ones a stinger, and the other is a German original bug exhaust, probably worth something,

Tomorrow I'll post pics of the complete loft! just finished it at 8pm, of course there's more need some shelves and a railing around the edge,

Next is benches,

Steve,

Long time no talkie! The shop looks great! What's up with your Camaro?? Do you still have the Nova too??... Well, i am deployed (again) to Africa... hopefully for the last time! It's time to hang up the flight suit, retire, and start working on the Camaro! Here's my wife's idea of a "joke"... My son got his permit and I am half-a-world-away and left the keys at home!! "put that car BACK in the garage!"

See you soon at Old Town!
