Mike good luck with the renno...Jim the garage looks great! Funny that Jim didn't mention his neighbor works on Vettes...he's tight lipped about having friends with a Bowtie!

more progress to get ready for SSP Week in Ohio. I still have to put up the ceiling, blow in insulation, and hang the gas furnace and lights. That should be done this fall. I have a bunch more stuff to hang on the walls too. I am hoping to finally have this done in time to close it up and turn on the heat when it starts getting cold out later this fall. Garage door installer is coming in two weeks to close off this room from the rest of the barn.

thanks. I built it in 2006....hopefully it won't take me another 5 years to get it done. I retire in 4 years and that is my target date to have everything finished and ready for full time restoration projects. This weeks project is going to be a trial run on a few things.....

Jim posted up a bunch of pics in his Fotki.

My camera didn't survive the trip up for some reason. The pics I do have were courtesy of Bernie's camera.

Here was the first surprise:

The car hit something (low) that tweaked the core support. Think concrete bollard, like they use in parking lots.

Thought I had a pic or two of the quarter damage, but it looks like I don't.

The only other bad spot on the whole car is the passenger fender apron. I need to buy a couple of these, since the '83 DPS car is in worse shape than this one.
