Lets See Your Shop!

Looks like it’s “drive out.”

I can see where you'd think that, but no. The hot rod came in a piece at a time, and left a piece at a time.

It was a '27 Model T body on a 31 Model A frame. I dragged ithome and stuck it in the garage. My wife went out of town for the weekend a few days later. When she came back the garage was empty.

"You didn't." She said.

"Actually, I did." Said I.

I started tearing it down half an hour after she left and finished up with the move a couple hours before she got home. I worked on it a few years there until it became apparent I had too many projects, at which point I tore it down again, dragged the parts up the hill, and put it all back together in my garage to sell it.

PS. Flathead V8s weight a lot. Apparently my neighbor, who is used to seeing me moving things around, even asked her husband what in the world I was doing now. Sidenote - Jeeps come in handy for such things.

The bikes barely fit through the sliding door and need special handling too.

I don't envy you guys with the big awesome shops. I can't even keep my little shop clean and organized What would I ever do if I had a bigger shop.

I agree, if you never experienced it, you'll never miss it.

PS, Cleanliness is not based on size.

well, in my opinion, if its a small shop, you better keep it clean, and somewhat organized otherwise you don't have the ability to work efficiently.

Yup, I find the same with a large shop. Again, not a size thing.

I called this one "It's just the normal noises in here!". This is our walkout basment which passes as my shop.

That is an old picture, these days it looks more like this. I'm in the midst of a clean up so it's a bit of a mess righ tnow, but, um, ok. It's always a mess but this is what it looks like now.

Ducati on the left??

Ducati on the left??

Both of them are Ducatis. Neither of them are Desmos however.

On the left is a 250 Monza which is a now a 350 with aluminum bodywork.

The one on the right is a bike being built out of leftover parts from other projects. It started out as a joke but someone called my bluff so I started building it.

Both have been underway for almost 20 years now. Yes I've finished a few in the meantime!
