HAHA... that is kind of funny [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

But I agree that is one fantastic photo of an even more fantastic car.

Two thumbs up to Rick and his wife!

Ha, couldn`t you think of something else other then the brake proportioning valve bracket bolt to fake the picture with?

Plus where are your non scratch FENDER COVERS????? Plus your dog needs to be in the pictures next to the tools, looking up at Rick.....with a caption &quot;I heard you say, you were NOT fond of Cranberry Red?&quot;

Ann and Rick, great picture!

Ha Bill. Sears tools for the little lady so she has her play set at home but MAN is she fond of them especially if I forget to put one back....

Thanks for the comment Steve. This car was completed and shipped to Florida where it was sold only a few hours later (he received an offer he could not refuse from a client of mine).

Sam, I cannot say anything about the book yet other than the author is very well known and most of us have his other books in our libraries already. We supplied hundreds of photos and technical information for it. No guarantee on the cover but they told me we had a pretty good shot at it. All shot with a cheap digital camera by a local friend and part time shop helper. The publisher wanted to simulate a home Chevelle enthusiasts working out of his garage on his Chevelle with limited tools so there you have it.

Dan, no fender covers because they did not want the shot to be too busy. Hence the lack of dog as well.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: jasonL78</div><div class="ubbcode-body">To me there is a garage to work on your cars and a garage to store your cars. A big difference in space. </div></div>

You are quite correct <span style="font-weight: bold">jasonL78</span>, about different spaces for different purposes which is why...




I initially bought this old wreck of a shop.




It was built in the 1930's...



...and restored by my son and myself...



...as a place...



...where I could...




...work on cars...





... not store them...





A couple of pretty quick Pure Stock drag cars have come out of there.

For car storage I had Morton build...





...this barn a few hundred feet away from the old shop.



Inside it's primarily...



...for storage but I also...



...have a modern lift...



... for work...



...should the need arise.



A place for everything and everything in it's place.
