Awesome. Do you have your project to stuff in there when it's ready?

 

The electrical is about 90% done. Interior paint is finished. Floor coating goes down next week. Final county inspection should happen on 1-31.

 

 

The lights are on, but, is anyone home yet?

 

Good to see.

 

If you look in the sky of the night shot, you can see some of the planetary alignment. Coincidence? I think not!!

 

Way back when, when 8 planets were supposed align, the predictions of doom and gloom were coming out of the woodwork..... Of course, noting happened.

 

I have multiple projects waiting to go into Shop 2.0. I have a 1981 Kawasaki KZ750 resto-mod that was my first project I did in Shop 1.0, it blew the right crank seal during break in. I have 4-500 miles on it. In order to replace the seal, the engine cases need to come apart and the crankshaft removed. Gotta love Japanese engineers... The main focus in Shop 2.0 is going to be the Studebaked truck project, though. The '95 Dakota will be put in there and the tear down will begin. The body and drivetrain will be removed so I can start over on the chassis mods. I also have my daughter's '72 VW bug that needs attention. It has a fuel delivery issue, some electrical gremlins, and a few other minor things to address.

 

Wow, that bug looks to be in EXCELLENT condition. Holy smokes.

 

My daughter named him Jack, The Pumpkin King. The 1876cc engine has a Jack Skellington sticker on the fan shroud. Unfortunately she hit someone and smashed the hood. Also, there is body filler separating on the rear bib. So those are on the list as well. I towed it home on a trailer from Chapel Hill, North Carolina to Minden, Nevada, so it is a lot more dirty than that picture.
