I am back home, opened the garage only to see a complete disaster! Yes I might be a hoarder...2 motorcycles, a scooter, 3 snowmobiles...parts and tools and boxes scattered all over...I can barely walk in the garage, much less, work on the truck..
So I sat down a drew up some plans, went to the zoning office for a building permit...i am adding on to the garage!
I currently have a garage 24' wide x 26' long. I am adding to the side, 18' wide x 26' long, pole barn type addition. white rock floor(for now) I gotta get some stuff outta my way...

 

I used a stick welder, and yes, it is tough to do a nice weld between that spring pocket/ upper control arm area. I still need to try and clean that up...looks like line of mouse turds all glued together...NOT PRETTY...

 

Have read your build and got good info from you glade your back on the truck

 

Welcome back. Garage addition huh! Be careful, once you get all the other things out of you current garage, you will need to get another truck to fill the space.

 

You never have enough room.

 

Funny how a 2.5 car garage isn't enough room for one truck project!

I have needed more space for a long time. Last winter when I was home, I tried to maneuver around stuff, shooting for progress, but I spent more time spinning circles...looking like a dog trying to find a comfy spot before finally laying down. Couldn't focus, couldn't do anything...finally getting frustrated to the point of going in the house and watching TV....

Not this year!

 

Welcome back Jeff! Extra space is nice.....or less "stuff".LOL

 

Thanks Scott! I tried the "less stuff" by getting rid of toys (in the past)
but then, I am like the grease monkey "pied piper" This stuff keeps following me home!

 

Happy Turkey day bro-in-law! Glad you are getting back in the garage. Had to add a 10X16 shed to move motorcycles and extra motors out of the garage to work in there. Lets get that thing on the road!

 

awesome job have you taken for a drive yet

 

Unfortunately no I haven't...
Life is keeping me away from the truck. I want back at it, but everything seems to take priority over the truck.
Thanks for asking!

 

thanks I know how u feel

 

Yep im the same at the moment as well

 

Looks like something from the Beverly Hillbillies!<br/>Cab removal with no help.




Working on filling unnecessary holes, stripping down to bare metal. I have a few items to clean up on the firewall. Using a DA sander with 80 grit and gonna sandblast tomorrow. Weather pending. I will have more pics soon. My goal is to get the firewall totally finished and when i mount the cab again, it should not need to come off again.

 

Lookin good Jeff. Glad to see you back at the old 321. I think alot of us run into the same problems with life taking us away from our hobby. And I also had to find more room. I think my stuff is breeding. I may need to separate it at some point. Good idea with the cherry picker cab removal. My new property is going to have a A frame large enough to pull cabs. Just as soon as I get a few hundred other things done. Keep up the good work!
