40 Ford sedan delivery project
55 Pontiac Safari driver (wife's car)
59 El Camino project
59 Corvette project (drag car)
66 Chevy 2 driver
02 Corvette driver
06 Mini Cooper (wife's car, work car)
06 STS Cadillac (my favorite)
95 Chevy pick-up
79 El Camino
85 El Camino
87 Harley Hertiage Soft Tail

After writing this I realized I have way too much junk!
Glad to be part of the HAMB! :D

Yes, I do need a bigger garage, so I trying to finish my new 36' x 64' garage that is totally home built, except the trusses. I have done every thing myself, from the excavation to building the forms for the footings and stub walls, to poring the floor. It has a space for a 14' x 64' attic room. I just got my 200amp service in about two weeks ago. I have most of the outlets wired now. It has 2000' of PEX tubing in the floor for hot water heat. I just finished my stand to hold a new 75 gallon hot water heater for the heat source. Last week I trenched in the gas line. It has 2 -18' x 8' doors. ---It's getting colder than s--- here now! I think the high today was about 34. I hope I'm in it this winter, I've still got the ceiling and side walls to sheet rock and put 24 - 8' lights up and trim around the doors, and insulate the attic and finish the heat system. I bought 42 gallons of antifreeze for the floor in case I don't make it in time!! I'll post pictures of it and some cars if I can figure out how!!

I am A newbe also. I know these kids that have a 55 chevy drag car , 57 chey drag car, 71 road runner, corvair,vega all in a building complete with engine assembly room. The whole thing was built out of shipping pallets that thier dad brought home from the plant. The floor has concrete areas made from bag concrete and the rest is from mother nature.

How is your Elko coming along? If I remember correctly you were working on one with a Merc grille and filled scoops. Any pictures?
