Hey Bull, I have a 77, 78 and a 91. That little orange one you can jump in and go to California without even checking the oil. Its not pretty but underneath has all been reworked. I posted pics in gallery under "shop" for the garage types for the gearheads here.

Ok, now I'm jealous. That's bigger than my house. I would probably cry if I saw inside it, but lets see anyway
Ok, just looked at your gallery and WOW, thats a nice set up you got there. Need some more friends....I've got plenty of projects to put your equipment to use on?

Nice Pics Sberry27! I set your galleries to hidden so they don't show up in the main gallery list but they are visible if you click on the link under your name.

You probably have more stuff bull. I have a couple old buildings for storage which really helps. Anything I am not currently working on goes out. It seems like there is always one "pet" project that seems to hang around, one that we start and have "to get back to" I have a really good mechanic I hired last spring and it really helps with the project stuff. I want to build about a 60x120 for storage here shortly and tear down my old buildings before they fall down. Thanks Eric, about the only thing I know how to do on the puter is flirt with girls.

Stay away from them girls on the puter...
For a really decent little digital camera try a Canon A60. They run under $200 and are 2MP units that will shoot 1600x1200 pixel pictures which are bigger than most computer screens. The A60 will shoot in Macro mode which means you can focus in close on things like engine parts, electrical connectors, etc etc that is invaluable when working on our trucks. Also works great for ebay shots of labels etc that some people try to do with a reg camera that only results in a blurry picture that is useless. I shoot most of my pics at 640x480 resolution.

Nice pics!! I"m guessing you run a business out of that shop? Do you do mostly welding / machine stuff or auto work? Anyhow wish I had a shop like that at my disposal!

I am a farmer most of the time and do some minor contracting mostly welding as that is my legitimate expertise. We do all of our own construction, maint and rebuilding. If I keep current on projects and keep everything out I am not working on it works well and is nice to have space without moving things around.

Very nice... Wish I could say the same! Always wanted to take on the family farm but unfortunatly financial issues kind of kept that option out for me, we do have a nice shop but are leasing out all the space, as well as all the land. I head out there every now and then to keep up on the house and help the family maintain things a little so they don't deteriorate too much. Over my christmas break I'll probably head out there to do some cleaning in the grain elevator, and possibly move whats left out of the shop and over to the home place in the elevator. Most importantly though, I'll be able to tinker with my 65 F250 4x4! Hopefully someday down the road I'll be able to build up my own setup - I love the welding too! something to look forward to and work hard for I guess! It'll be nice when I'm done with school and have a garage/shop so I can complete a frame off restoration on my 65...
