Gee wiz Dennis you make my shop look great. Here's what it looked like before your clever photography made it look so good.




That's the lift if you look close in the above picture.



A little repair and it's now good to go.



The below is the area where Vern's boat was sitting before I "freshen" that space up!




Maybe one more "before". The Pepsi machine is to the left of my son. I put it back in the same spot it's been in for 50 years.




The shop restoration was a fun project and I got to spend a Bunch of time with my son doing it. Highly recommended.

OMG!! I thought you were pulling my chain...how the heck did you sort through all that cool stuff and fluff it up in one mans lifetime...I think I would still be in there lost and happy digging through it all.

Man, there is so much stuff there, it looks like you needed three more shops to store it, or several LARGE dumpsters???

It is very cool now!!

We just started on one end and worked our way through the building. That took about 5 months. The piles were 1.)keep for sure, 2.) keep and revisit whether to keep, 3.)recycle or discard. We wound up recycling 48 tons of steel from inside and out. Discarded 272 tires. I've still got another building to go through that needs to be emptied by October. Don, Dennis and Rick never made it to that one. That building is set to be torn down this fall after I get the replacement built. Anyone need some NOS shocks for a 1928-30 Chevy or a set of new, in the box, flat head Ford pistons and rings? That's just some of the parts found.

Before when I bought it:



After much sweat:



The inside took 1 1/2 years and the outside (5 acres) is still in progress.
