After cleaning and organizing for the last couple weeks of late evenings I finally have a bay open to drive in and walk around and some clear bench space . Its been a challenge getting things tidied after dealing with a moron un-teachable son-in-law ( now EX-son-in-law ). Should have a topic regarding things/people that PMO ( Piss Me Off ) probably already a dozen or more out there . Here is a few pics non the less , More to do and projects to complete .
looks like you got about everything in there Larry except a rod .. I have a couple here you could buy to put in there.. I have a 28 Ford roadster, and a 75 Elky You have a little lathe in there to..
The '28 looks like a hell of a good starting point - always wanted to build a "track" style with a piped turbo intercooled 2.3 $$$? . The lathe is an Atlas 6x10 I believe ; rescued that about a year ago one of the projects I have to finish , built a new style motor mounting using a "C" flange , have an inverter drive for that , cleaned up weys and the gear box , made new bushings and installed new brgs and mounted it on the newly built table . All that is required now is a new 3 jaw , tool post and tooling . The bigger stuff I can do where I work on the tool room lathe . The drill press is an old Rockwell twin spindle mortising press from a M/C center from Stanley Doors (Brampton) scrap pile a couple years ago , scrounged up the M/C base from a local scrap yard and turned down a post for the machine head and made the swiveling table ( over all both units were nice scores ) . I have to get rid of some of the turds in my yard here and I hope to have acquired something for myself this fall or sooner . You heading over to the car show in Exeter on Friday (Canada Day ) or you at home all day ? If you are at home I'll swing around with some cash for the "T" and decals.
Hey Chuck Grumpy said he is going to buy your car He thinks it's a T

I believe he is talking about the T as in shirt...
And I think I am going to be around here Friday .. I am busy as a I armed paper hanger with an itchy butt..I am trying to get my motor home ready to pull out on Saturday for a week.. I am hoping to be able to get away Sat for a week..before I have to sell my motor home.. I think it will be the last trip with it for Diane..

Sure you can Joe .. By the way do you have the number of the cat who sells historic documents.... for display only of course . I may need one for a roadster.....
No apologies req'd Chuk and the pleasure was all mine , I do know what you mean about kids and Grand-kids they can easily tip the scales from " just a day" to a "great day" ! As brief as it was , it was a good visit and look forward to a repeat later this summer . Although I haven't had the T"shirt on yet , sitting in the truck it has raised alot of queries so maybe expect a few more followers . I did manage to get one of the decals applied to the garage wall tho above my tool box. Hopefully you got the motorhome serviced and you and the Mrs have an enjoyable road trip .
New upgrade : Showed up last week , boxes of "stuff" been sitting years in a storage unit . Started cleaning up and assembling - turns out to be a 1949 10ER Shopsmith that was pretty much complete and with a few attachments and tooling . The storage unit wasn't kind to it so there has been considerable time spent cleaning /polishing just to get operational and mounted (couple hours just getting the quill to move ) . Not sure where I'm going to put it tho it's a real tank once assembled. sorry for lack of pics there seems to be a problem importing pics at my end . www.google.ca/url%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2Fsite%2Fhogwinslowwoodworking%2F&psig=AFQjCNFABtPnYks6D8K7V0C_qr5hK7_xfQ&ust=1502994733536386
