Bob, Hope you won't find me "cheeky"- saw your shop, and had a couple of Questions; what are the dimensions of it, and how long and how deep into your pocket did that dynamite mancave take you? I really do want to "do this thing", but life and location have kept me planning and
for three or four years. Also, I really like the premise of a 5.0/7- short fuse, big boom, enough tork to afford any rear end (Lincoln IRS or Mustang Salisbury), many other Ford factory parts and tons of after market support. I plan to eat plenty pop corn here! Chris
Chris you would have been proud of me because its been built in true locost ways
Its about 30`x45` with another small area where the mill and lathe is ,outside is a couple of 40` shipping containers full of useful manthings .
The white liner in the workshop are offcuts from a commercial truck bodybuilder and all those Lista cupboards which cost a fortune new came from an auction where no one else bid, I got the lot for less than $300. The worktops are ply with offcuts of heavy duty lino stuck down. The Stuska engine dyno came from the states but I have yet to plumb in the waterworks and commission it. Yes it was a lot of work but its nothing special really and I never broke the bank doing it. Whats more important is its well lit and insulated. These type of sheds can be a an oven in the summer and very cold in the winter but with all the insulation behind the liner its good all year .
