Looking GREAT!  Reducing inventory and completing projects is in my plans as well.  Trying to finish a workshop wiring project first... it is now ready for rough-in inspection.

Nice workshop Trav... What is the size?  Looks like maybe 30x80?  BTW, get the wiring, interior walls, floor coatings, etc done up front instead of waiting until later!  Working in my crowded workshop is a pain, several pains actually!!!

AMAZING collection Trav.  Not many WEALTHY guys have such a nice collection, or more importantly have a wife understanding enough to let all that go on...  (some want the 30k Purse)... 

I think your wife is a DIAMOND for letting you persue your heart's desires...  and then again bribery always works (isn't the black '70 R/T hers)??  lol

I LOVE the Sunfire '69.  Looks just like the Franklin Mint model, but no redlines...  She looks like a NEW CAR inside!

Daddy ran whiskey in a big black dodge
bought it at an auction at the masons lodge,
Johnson County Sherriff painted on the side,
just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside,
well him and my uncle tore that engine down,
I still remember that rumblin' sound.....

I'm not a huge fan of 70's but WOW that one looks awesome Trav! That "garage" is even cooler! Someday I hope I can have a shop that big.

progress on the dayclona is very very slow. and no pics for a while. it's in kentucky getting quarters right now. i am hoping it's done by late summer.
thanks for all the kind words so far guys. makes me feel good. that building ALONE would have bought 2 NICE chargers
hard to plunk down that kind of money for a building. but i had to. concrete by itself was $9600. WHEW!

Shop floor here is 40x60 and it cost 10 grand. So you didn't do that bad in comparison. Oh yeah, thanks for the updates/photos!
Mark

I agree!... I paid well over $10,000 for the 50x60 slab over 8 years ago.  In fact, just the up-grade to an "engineered" slab (larger re-bar, cross beams, etc) was $4500.  My slab is a minimum of 6 inch thickness, with min of 7 inch thickness where the lift will go.  The slab actually ended up coming in well over the mins...
