I don't know?
Those cars look weird and the equally strange machines along with the vehicles look awfully flat?
I do like the tile floor though.

No matter how big you make it it will still be too small.
Get a drive on lift and use it as an elevator to put cars on the second floor in the back and you could have a nice cathedral ceiling in the front, exposed rough sawn timbers would be nice. All you need is a few yards of concrete and a bunch of forms, you can rent them, any height restrictions there?
The place would be strong like WWII German pillbox.

Demention?, that means to take away a mention after you mentioned it and then say you never mentioned it and nobody else shouldn't mention it being mentioned because it was never mentioned. Then the primary mentioner tells you you have to demention that mention or you're a racist.
See politicianspeak in the dictionary.

I know it may seem that way sometimes but as hard as it may be to believe I'm just a mere mortal like everybody else Cha Cha (except Joe P. of course).
I put my pants on two legs at a time just like you.

Might be kind of heavy on the kitchen table. Seriously once everything is done I am going to be doing some work for people on the side so I can justify this thing. I will make an announcement to the club when the time comes.

Have not contracted anyone yet. I am getting close. Still tring to find $4000.00 somewhere. Ive been trying to sell a Camaro race car project but no bites. Its about time to part it out. The rear axle should bing about $1800.00 by itself.

I was just testing space to see how I wanted it laid out. Much easier to see where and want the lift and heavy fab machines. Should be able to have 5 cars with room to work or 8 cars stuffed in there.

Just let us know and my '72 can be the first one in the shop (but not the first on the lift).
She needs rear upper control arm bushings replaced.

Will the shop rates be in cases of beer/hour or bottles of whiskey/hour? And do customers later in the day get a discount for cleaning up after the earlier payments have been accepted and rejected again?

I don't drink so rates will be based on cash or car parts I need for the next project.
