Then packed everything away to the storage unit where it will sit until the shop is finished, hopefully by November. We still plan on getting some work done between now and then but we are limited on what we can do onsite. I din't take a picture of the parts until we had put more than half of the stainless trim away. Looks like we got most of it, but inventory will be one of the first tasks.

    Didnt waste anytime! Good to see

    Great find! Now hurry up and get that shop finished, so you and your boys can start the project. They will be done with high school and off to college before you know it. The clock is ticking.....

    We re going to start by some re assemble for inventory purpose, and then start bringing doors home a couple at a time to go through, as well as starting the long job of polishing stainless trim. RIght now biggest hold up on the shop in the county.

    Our guess is 4 or 5 years and he is very excited, told everyone at scouts that we are going to be doing the auto maintenance merit badge this year so they can all work on it.

I think I am leaning more in the under 10K project car direction but thanks for the heads up.
