i'll be there all day tomorrow too, at least until it gets dark. they shut the electricity off on me today in the middle of the day because it was still on the previous tenets who had called for it to be cut. my service doesn't start till wednesday made it real fun to pull chads clutch in the pitch black.

josh told me where to get a lift so i'll have one of these in the next week or two (already on order, just waiting for the install guy to have time):


still doesn't have any work benches either. so between no electricity and no place to set stuff on i'm limited

The welder is going to get there Friday night!

Its only 12min from the shop to my house anyway with hitting stop lights!

I think we still have to wire for 220 for it too.....

everything will be done out of the shop, unless its day i'm not at the shop and its easier to do it from the house. although if the car has any issues like needing a boost leak test done, all that stuff is at the shop.

Congrats Kevin, very excited to see you start "expanding" the business. I agree with the cookout/picnic at the new shop on opening day. Looks like there is plenty of parking as well.

Just a suggestion, you might want to cover the interior garage walls with 5/8" thick OSB. Makes mounting wall shelves a whole lot easier.

Is that a stock intake manifold I see on the floor? I may be interested in buying that if it is.

it is, but its missing a flange for the throttle body. it was ported a little to big denver was going to cut a 68mm flange and weld it to it so it was a true 68mm inlet, but then the skunk 68mm throttle body turned out to not work well so we put that project aside.

Yeah the 68 mm project is on hold till sunk fixes their leaky TB. I read a thread the other day of another company making them and they looked to be high quality....
