Yep, unfortunately we moved into a house with no garage. I miss my big shop I used to have. I pay $165 a month with heat and electric. I used to have a big race shop which was 2 RV bays without the dividing wall. We could get 3 racecars in there with all our tools and equipment and have plenty of room to work! We even had an office space and a loft. I miss it but it cost to much to keep up with on my own and it seems that partners never paid their rent. It's a little tight in this unit but it'll make due for now. Someday, "when my ship comes in" I'll have a pole barn bigger then my house! I keep praying to hit the lottery but.........the big guy upstairs ain't biting yet!

Thanks. The interior is going to be black. The guy who is doing the tin work gets a heavy discount on white and black aluminum. I think it's gonna come out nice when it's finished.

I hope you never have a wiring problem at night in the dash. LOL I was and still is under the keep the interior a light color. If you have a problem with wiring or whatever at night it will be easier to see. Not to mention a black interior is hot in the summer. |

I shouldn't have wiring problems....shhhh don't say that, I was plagued with electrical probs in 2006! I have all new switches of better quality and instead of single wires for everything I bought a wiring harness from QuickCar. I don't care about the black being so hot cuz I'm such a cool dude anyway! Plus I have a a helmet set up for forced air and NACA ducts that I'll attach cooling hoses to to blow air on me!

Sounds like you thought all about this ahead of time. Why in the world would you want to make a plan BEFORE you build something? Your supoosed to plan as you go.
