Yet another posting of not much, back issues have kept me moving forward in the garage, but at least a bit of motivation showed up today. A guy just traded me my scooter for an old oil fired furnace, said it wouldn't take long to get his old 3 car garage up to 90 degrees, laughed when he saw how big my garage is that I want to heat. Should make for some very hospitable temps in there!

Keep us posted if you don't get anything else done. We like to keep motivated.

I am in the process of putting new axles under my truck. I broke my one tons, so I am putting a pair of front 2 1/2 ton Rockwell military axles under it now. I'm going with 4 links and full hydro steering.

Hello All,
I just got the garage clean and organized now it is time to start the fun. I have a 74 standard that I use to commute 250 miles a week during the summer and every mile is a blast. This is the list I got so far:
1. Install new coil, plugs and wires.
2. Fix battery tray
3. Seal floor
4. Fix engine lid
5. And everything else.

I got some great weekends comming up.

Looking good Dano! Are you doing a full paint job on it this winter?

Got the 65 back inside after a couple nights of cleaning out the garage and my oil fired furnace exploding on me. Rear end is in the air for a rear tire swap, bumper bracket rehab and rear shocks.

Nope, don't think it's you..I remember Eric saying something about not being able to post pics in that section either. Did you get those bumper brackets on the bug yet Kaleb?
I haven't progressed too much on my projects this winter. Too much snow and overtime plowing!!! When I'm off, I'm burned out. I did make it out yesterday, and almost finished running brake hardlines throughout the bus. Man, that one from front to rear is a PITA!!!
