    Congrats to FBBO and Hawk Sorman Carlisle third place in club participation.

    There were several other tents in the vicinity of where we were located... Maybe 5- 10 people sitting around in chairs in a few... I was 300+ feet away where my car was and could here the clapping and cheering from there during the raffle... The numbers don't matter...the quality of those...

    Inner Sill Plate Help

    Finding the correct inner sills is tough as some on the market are for a convertible... They are not the same as a H/T or post body as they are too short...

    64 Polara Manual Steering box

    Manual boxes on B Bodies were the same from 62-72... You will need to find a manual column as the steering shaft itself is one piece and needs to be about 3" longer... The part referenced above will work for that...It's just a half assed way to do it...

    Welding observations that I have made....

    Kern...I've found the timing and brightness of the screen to be crucial adjustments... Too late with the timing you get a quick blast of bright and then its like your snow blind... Too bright and it's kind of the same when your eyes react to it... The biggest problem I've had lately is the...

    Garage /shop layout

    On the front elevation above the brick I used a pvc plastic vertical board and batten siding and ran 1 1/2" outsulation between the slats for the vertical siding...

    Garage /shop layout

    Wood wall framing began and the structure itself went up pretty quick in comparison to everything else that was done... This was basically a 2 man build between me and my dad...Subs were used for excavation foundation...masonry and the concrete slab pour... Cathedral trusses were used in line...

    Garage /shop layout

    Mine is small at 28' x 40' I only had so much room to be able to use... The property is a 28 degree slope so a huge pole barn type building would be impossible... I was able to get a 12' x 40' basement underneath the back half that is 9' high which works well for storage and hiding the air...
