Does that have a 383 stroker in it? I think I looked at it a few years back at streetside in concord, nc. Was too much for me.

So far, it’s been a really warm fall here and the tree colors have just started to change a few weeks later than normal. It’ll be 80 again here today

I need to get my butt in gear on mine, It has to move back from my garage to the shop and then back home before they start putting salt on the roads

That is the whole push to get all the stuff from the old shop that I took down and moved into the new space and "on the floor" up on the walls before the snow flies.

God I miss snow. I'm just debating whether it's finally cool enough to put the 1/2 doors on so it's not so cool for the kids in the mornings taking them to school.
Top? Don't have one any more; sold the full hard top before it even came to Florida, sold the soft top a year later. Full doors? Hanging on my wall since arriving in Florida.
Heck, I'm just looking forward to opening the windows in our house without the air con having to work overtime. I can't wait to turn the pool heater on!
Did I mention how much I miss winter? Florida has two seasons: summer and sauna. Summer lasts three months, sauna nine. The rust season, however, lasts 12 months.
I envy you guys driving around with the trees changing. Trees only change here when a developer cuts them all down to build houses.

Finally! Someone else that actually enjoys the seasons including winter! I love it here in Wisconsin. None of the seasons are harsh. You may get a week or two of extreme heat or extreme cold but that's it. The only part I hate is that they salt the roads. Cars on average don't last much more than 15 years up here before they are very rotten.

I LOVE Jeeps like this. Adore them. When I was a kid, the mountains were full of them. They have so much personality and they carry their battle scars with great dignity.
Don't get me wrong; a restored Jeep is a beautiful thing too, but they do loose something of their past. This one tells the tales of it's efforts, unwillingness to die and devotion to service. It speaks of a rig which has been depended on for decades and patiently waits to be useful again.
Beautiful.

Making progress... the red body is off the lift and completed with what I needed from it, put it up on CL to sell it off... gonna finish taking apart the 79 CJ7 that I have had kicking around for the last few months and get those parts sold off and finally got the silver Scrambler project to have a new steering wheel/column in it so I can move it around and will put on the half hard top I got for it.
Finished all the hoods I have for now and also moved tools into place and cleaned up and threw out a lot of garbage.
All the plates are hung that I have/had removed from the other shop.
This has been quite the undertaking, but I am finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.
Next up is enclosed storage cabinets so I can get all the tools/supplies into a safe space and move the rest of those parts from the other shop.
Cabinets as well and the rest of the license plates...

40x40x15... I finally got it built/done over the last couple years and finally making progress to get it into shop form. I have been thinking/planing this for the last 10 years. I had to make a few adjustments and it is going to be cold this winter without sufficient heat, but this is what it is right now... it costs so much to build anything these days.

Thank you sir... it has taken a ton of late nights and a lot of weekends, but slowly getting there.
I was putting together some storage shelves last night with doors on it to keep out the debris mostly from grinding... learned that lesson from the previous shop.

I have a pretty sweet shop but your above comment pointed out it’s shortcoming. I think if I were to do it over, I would like 2 bays for a “clean room” and a third by for a “ dirty room”. Or possibly a removable partition.
My current shop space is 36W x 24D. But the building is 36x48, split down the middle with my son-in-law getting the other half. I’d love to have to whole thing- keep the division but put 2 roll up doors in the divider, so I could pull a project forward into either a “dirty room” or a “paint room”. Plus a 3rd bay for clean storage.

Agreed... watching a lot of "car shows" over the year really showcased how they have an area for "metal work" vs. "finish work"... let along painting/upholstery a.k.a. not dirty jobs. The problem is always money to do the job at the time... this shop ended up in a ridiculous amount of cost overruns as well as fighting weather and people to do the work. I am very happy with what I have and I planned it for a very long time, but in the end, there are always things you want (and wished) you could do over.
