SELLERSRODSHOP

Well-Known Member
i ended up having a good week & made lots of progress on the new shop. started out by getting a new set of tires on the truck:

picked up three of these bolt bins for $50

finished up the resto on the borrowed sewing machine that burned in the fire & returned it to the owner who lent it to me;

finished up the ductwork on the paint exhaust fan:

found an old pexto 36" shear on craigslist for $300. the blades look like new for an older unit. i'll eventually take it apart, clean it up & repaint it, but it works fine as is for now

finished running all the ductwork for the heat/air system & ran all the wiring.(saved $1500 by doing it myself) had the a/c guy hook it up yesterday & had good cold air last night, but none today, so that was a pisser... have to wait for the guy to come out monday when he gets back in town to see what the problem is...

while i had a/c i ran the first batch of bike parts thru the paint booth & it worked great!

about all i lack now is getting some shelving purchased so i can get all the junk up off the floor & organized. i found some used steel shelf panels that will fit the frames i salvaged from the fire at a great price on ebay, but they are in michigan & the company wont ship?? i'm going to call monday & see if i can talk them into shipping as i could restore my old shelf system for less than $100 where it will cost over $750 to replace them... i also dropped the mustang off this morning for a front end alignment so i can start driving it again. poor thing has sat covered since before the fire in nov....
 
Looking good. So your gonna start driving the Stang, that should be fun. My wife wants that truck!
 
got a few more things finished up. i've had a REALLY stressful two weeks. the mrs. had her knee replaced on the 26th, so between trying to get the shop finished & get some bikes finished, i've also been taking care of her, which has been a full time job in itself. in the last 13 nights, i've had one night with 6 hrs sleep & rest have been only 3 -4 hrs. in the middle of all this, i got a deal at lowes on some countertop material. 16' for less than $40 so finished up the cabinets & cutout for the sewing machine. i still need to build a slide out base for the machine to bring it up level with the countertop. i'll also have a new HVAC unit here mon. the guy finally came out to check the other one (two weeks late) & the evap core is leaking ($600 part). he felt bad for selling me a "good" unit that was bad, so is selling me a new unit at cost minus what i paid for the used one.
