Default You Guys Must Think Im Joking

Hey guys, I'm looking to perhaps make my shop a hang out spot.. I'm suppling shop tools and lifts. All I'm looking for in return is a groupy( and some help with my SS!) It's in Elgin and I would like to see some excitement about this!

You have 4 wheels and a lead foot.... Mosey on up here.... Maybe We'll open another shop down there in a year or so... But If you enjoy working on your back in a garage.... Kudos to you.

It is rare for someone to open their doors like this, and under other circumstances I would love to head up there, but my buddy owns a shop 5 minutes from my house with 5 lifts and a welder so I'm set around here I'm sure some guys would really appreciate that offer though.

Eight bays .... I'm looking for a gathering with shop supervision thats all... NO HIGH SCHOOL mechanics.. Thats the last thing I want to hear someone whine about is lifting their car by the front fender support and popping it out... hahaha.... I've done it......

hmmm... I have small stuff to work on. Poly trans mount, wanted to do poly motor mounts at some time too but I hear they are a pain soo bahh.. I'll probably wait on that until I get Long tubes. also going to redo my brakes and put on some SS brake lines. I dunno.. really its nothing that I'd need a lift for or anything serious.

How are you going to go about this with insurance liability? Have everyone that works on their car using your lift sign a waiver saying if the car falls and kills them, you're not responsible?

I'm totally psyched. Let me know when you're having a get together and I'm there. Or let me know when you or someone needs some help. Did you want me to just show up and hang out? PM me the address and I will. I could use the lift to do a little underbody detailing for now I suppose.

Already said that once we have a confirmed date and time, I am there. If not to get lift time, to hang out with like minded people.

Special note, worried about the wife bitchin about time away from the family? Why not make it a barbecue and have the families come too.. Make them a part of it. Good promotion for your shop too.... Just a thought.

With only a few days to hang out with my wifey, I have to make due.... Besides, nothing like a Beer brat with greasy paws... LMAO. But that way, keep the wives busy chatting and stuff, and they dont bitch at us for wrenching.....
