That's quite a workshop you've got there...I've got green eyes... :)

:D Thanks!
It's all new, part of the new house we just built. Very unfinished, have water run to it but just stubbed out of the concrete... electricity run to a panel inside but no lights or recepticals,... natural gas run but no heat,... no shelving yet, so there is crap everywhere just scattered on the floor... BUT IT IS AWESOME! :cool:
I grew up working on cars in a driveway, regardless of weather. I always had some kind of hotrod/clunker so it always needed work, the worse the weather, the more work it needed. When I got my first house (at 30), it had a small garage, but I had so much junk that you had a goat path to work on stuff and all my buddies -for whatever reason- always wanted to bring their cars over and try to cram them in my tiny garage to do work on.
Some really good memories born out of that frutration and it really, really makes me appreciate what I've got now... grey hair and all.


Jeff-

The first thing I noticed was the Wheels, second was the shop. They both look awesome. :D :agree:

Jeff,

"Goat's path". What have you been to my garage? Working out of a one-car garage is no fun, trust me, I know. I've got my lathe, drill press, saw, tool boxes and bug in mine...tight squeeze to say the least.

I guess they look OK.... BBAAAAAAAh, they look awesome! They standout more than the Gembellas, I think their perfect.

Jason

Thanks everybody!
I really like'em better myself than the Gems, definately lighter, a little more racey looking, and even though it's anti GL... I like running a slightly taller/fatter tire in the rear for a little pro-street flavor. :D


Jeff-

wow! those are really nice. :agree:

first, congrats on the shop! looks awesome. Lovin' the new she too. Being honest, not as much as the Gems, but super nice and just us fitting nonetheless. And being able to turn is a good thing.
