    Thanks.
    The truck that went with 78/79 grille shell was my 78 F-250 crew cab.

    I sold it, probably six years ago. I wish I still had it, but at the time I had it, my red truck, an Explorer, the Fury and the wife's car. I just couldn't justify having that many vehicles at the time and I didn't have the space for them.

    Needed the round headlights, otherwise, very nice rig.

    Deja vu, I think I mentioned that before in another thread, and you prefer the rectangular headlights.

    You have indeed mentioned it before. I actually swapped out the round headlights for the square ones.

    I like the square ones. How’d you park that behemoth at the gas station?!

    Any way he damned well pleased!

    I wish I had known you back then, Jeremiah, as I would've bought those headlight buckets and bezels from you, just so I'd have a set.

    Maybe, that's why he stays in hiding. Once we get his adress, it'll be easier to harvest the parts we can use

    Haha that's right :LOL: Actually it was easier to park than my current truck, which is even larger.

    Well Andrew, I think I may still have them. I'd have to go dig through the shed, but I think they're in there.

    Here are a few pics of my work area. I did an addition of 1350 sq feet in 2009. DSCN0930 (800x600).jpg DSCN0930 (800x600).jpg

    Wow. That is really nice!
    I also have to say I like to see the modern Chevrolet sharing space with the classics.

    Very nice space Mr Nova. We seem to fill to our space. Lots of great lighting and space to work around the old gals. Welcome to the forum.

    I was gonna say the same. I Like the windows up high. Gotta have that natural light. Also, That way when you lose a hammer banging out some stubborn something or other it only smashes the wall and no glass. At least that’s the type of thing that happens in my garage. More accidents than accomplishments.(n) Either way, ya gotta have that natural light. I splurged at the last second on a couple extra windows on my new garage. Hopefully the power company comes this week to hook everything up. I just got the gutters installed (black!) and I finally moved the dump truck out of the yard and onto some gravel today! Hadn’t run it in some time. The carb was leaking gas everywhere. But now that my garage is almost complete I can finally get down to business.

    It sounds like Discovery Channel could be interested in giving you your own show, if you intend keeping the windows down low within range. Sign up "Jesse James", the Gas Monkeys and crew from "American Chopper". Maybe, call the show Tantrum Garage?







    You'll need a proper animal, to guard your shop

    Jesse James...anybody who brags about how much they USED to fight is a chump and probably never truly had his butt whipped. Kinda like the war vet bragging about his exploits is probably retelling someone else’s stories. There are exceptions to every rule I guess and I don’t know him personally but I have seen him in person and he’s rather little. That being said, the dude does have some major skills. I’ve seen that “lion” dog before. What a hoot

    So, that was your idea :naughty: If someone pulled a prank like that over here, the most the cops would do would be to write a citation because the dog or lion, in this case, wasn't on a leash. They would even let you know why they were bothering you, instead of telling journalists not to film, after applying cable ties or handcuffs to the person just having some fun. Things have really changed for the worse, since I used to live there

    :rofl2:I’ve never seen a lion wagging his tail:rofl2: for the few hilarious reactions there had to be 100 where the people just thought “what a cute dog in a lion costume!”
