It is hard to look at the shop when I am looking at the cars. Owners of 68's love 68's, and of course custom coupes.

WOW! Nice shop Sluggo! must have the new iPhone? Cars and shop are nice, it's neat to see other shops and how they are set up! Cars are awesome as well.
When I moved from Iowa to Arizona 15 years ago I had a decent size shop, now I have a 2 car garage and half the room is taken up by equipment and parts +2 sheds in back yard. As you can see it's a little depressing juggling anytime you do a project. It's hard to get organized when space is limited... you tend to get creative with space on top of garage door with hoods, my old hood will go back there.
A lift would be awesome as not as agile as I once was.
The 59 pics were all I could find of my old shop in Iowa, but I had second garage for kids bikes, mower, snow blower and compressor +, then had a large basement (they don't seem to have many basements in the Phoenix area.

Well, the hood finally made it to the car, doesn’t fit for crap It is what you do when you are short on space, don’t want to leave it outside, not a wall hanger ( have SS doors for that). Bill

Looks nice under there, my rear end looks that way except with F41 trac bar, again it would be nice to have the space AND a lift !!! Not working 2 jobs anymore and retired about a year ago, it’s funny how different you look at things!
I actually have 2 hoods hanging for storage under the garage door, the Z24 hood will hopefully be installed this year as I switch to BB, but may just detail under hood, and stay as a SS with a 427, as once I paint the hood, then I need to paint fenders to put proper badging, then the snowball effect falls in to “where do I stop! “ we all have been there and all have different budgets! The hood it is a safe place to store it for now w/o getting damaged in limited space, the insert is restored and looks awesome, all it needs is for me to paint the blackouts, it’s my first BB. I believe I have 95% to do a recreation, but we all know how we think we have what’s needed! I’m sure there will some stuff I run into. I drive my car, so I don’t want to get carried away! Motor is done and Dino’d, a 010 gear box from Ed Hartnett should be here any day, as I have a 65 Muncie box in there now, just want it to be esthetically correct, not perfect. The hardest part is juggling stuff in garage! Like a chess game at times, but I have 3 motors to get rid of in that mess, and 2 transmissions..... a 66 396 w/ a T400, the 350 and 4 speed in my car, and the original 283 2bbl. With all its original stuff, brackets, air cleaner, tagged carb, etc. Anyone else have shop pics?

Sluggo,
Can you tell us more about the 2-door sedan on the left with the Z24 hood?
