But lots of it is very awesome.

Doing some upgrades here at the shop. I hired one more guy so we'll be open at least 6 days a week now. Should be at least 5 days full time and one day part. @Buddy_Holly and @sjones26573 are the go to guys here now. We should be better about answering the phones now, and this will free me up to actually answer emails and Facebook messages too. Shipping times will vastly improve too with four guys shipping at various times here.

Also bought a new lift so we can have two functional bays. Got a nice big asymmetrical Eagle lift, we installed it last night. Really nice lift, should work out well for us. Hopefully it will be fully up and running starting this weekend at latest. I also finished fixing up and installing a complete compressed air system in the shop. Got a 60s era Wayne compressor off of a friend, the thing is a beast. Works awesome, pumps up and holds good pressure, very nice. Then sweated a whole lot of copper line and got it all aired up.

Finally we got our new tire machines up and running, still need to put them in their final homes, but we're getting there. We had them installed a couple months back in a location that worked, but since we reorganized the shop we found a better place for them so we are going to replumb/rewire them and get them all set up here shortly too.

New tools are always fun. :)

Now is that the same compressor they salvaged from the titanic? or just a very similar looking one




:D

That's shop patina, man!

I'm actually going to wire wheel it and respray it. I just wanted to be sure it worked before I did anything cosmetic. :lol:
 
Nice! I'd love to get a lift I sure could use it......
 
Hell, I just cleared out my garage enough to back my '66 catalina in this evening....jealousy is strong in me....lol

Nice shop!!

As I tell my people...
