Well its kinda both, We bought the house about a year ago and the garage was never finished with drywall. So i just got done drywalling it and put all the shelves and benches in. I think i have to many shelves thought cause i can even fill one wall with stuff. I guess just give it time.

You'll fill 'er up eventually.  I moved from an apartment where I had to park on the street, to a house with a two car+ garage and a 36x56 steel building.  Less than a year later I was parking on the street again cuz I didn't have any room left. ;D

Ok, here's somewhat of an update. I didn't get much done tonight, mainly cause i ran out of things to do. Im needing to get my rear axle or start on the A arms so im kinda at a stand still till then which hopefully wont be to long. I moved the motor forward about 12" and centered the drive line and it fits a lot better like that. Im waiting on all the bracing till i get most of it done so in case i decide to change something i don't have to rip out a bunch of tubing.

Well i havent got much in the way of progress but i guess some is better than none.  I have been thinking long and hard about my drivetrain options and i have finally set on an option, it actually just fell in my lap as a free motor  ;D Ill leave it a suprise for a little longer  :-X , atleast untill i get it mocked up in the chassis. Which should be in the next week or so  ;) All i will say is that I am going to have to move this build to the automotive powered section  :g

Here is the some what progress so far

Im ready!!!  


Well here it is. jj:

 Its a 305 SBC with a 4 speed borg warner tranny. Now before i start catching crap for the size of tubing i already relized this  ;D SO...... I am just going to brace the Sh** out of it. I think with proper triangulation it will be good.
I am going to be doing boxed lower A-arms with a J-arm upper and the rear is going to still be a triangulated 4 link. I am going to pick up more tube tomorrow but i have to wait till i get my intake to do anymore on the cage.







And this is my other little project i picked up for $200. and it runs perfect!! The people thought it had a bad motor because it wouldnt start but it turned out it just need a new starter relay.
