Man cave, haha. Actually been trying to beat a sick. I was ill while moving all the stuff and that made it nice and nasty. I'm back down to a cough and sinus stuff. Still tinkering with getting it ready to go full throttle on the blazer though. My favorite is the workbench. I got it from my grandpa when I was 15. Only weighs like 50lbs. but will hold up a car. Most of that weight comes from the vise, lol. The only things left to do are move over the air compressor, crane, and parts. This weekend, weather permitting.

vtblazer · 01-09-2009, 10:24 AM

Sink, shower and I'm guessing a hopper towards the left outta site somewhere?
Any cooking hardware?

I'd call that a sweet set up!

You'll never have to leave.

Yeah, lol. It had a stove, fridge, washer/dryer, lol. I have a tv to put in and might try and find a small fridge, lol. There definitely is a office there off to the left.

**jamie72** · 01-09-2009, 12:34 PM

Technically I guess it is a upright parts washer, don't know about using the toothbrush though, might be painful

. Actually I think I'm going to use it for hazardous materials storage. Gas, kerosene, etc.

vtblazer · 01-12-2009, 07:25 AM

Whew...!
Just went backwards page by page looking for a frame pic, cause I was curious about where you were with it and it's right on page one where this thread started.

You have completed an amazing amount of work!!

Glad I went back through it (took awhile) it's definitely a testament to persistence.

**Ron 586** · 01-12-2009, 09:03 AM

It has damned near as many side tracks as yours does Kurt. We love them, keep'em coming.
