Oh yeah, it's 4:20 somewhere HAHAHA!
New clock...
Yeah it's not much, but it is a clock for my '55 Ford sedan I've been slowly collecting parts for. Right now it's in my friends backyard. Now that I almost have a kick ass garage workshop I can bring it to my house

Some more new garage stuff (continued)
So I posted a pic the other day of 14 bags of concrete and a mixer we rented. Well, this is what it was for.
Open area in back of the garage
Making sure the form is squared.
Form built.
Tamping the ground to be sure it's level.
Rebar for strength.
Drilling into the garage foundation to connect with the outside concrete.
Rebar installed into the garage foundation.
Concrete poured. This was after the first mixer broke. When Lisa got home they went back to Home Depot to get another mixer.
Smoothing the concrete.
Concrete almost completely smoothed out
Done! It's a pad to put my new air compressor on so it is outside and
a) not taking up room in the garage and
b) so it doesn't make noise in the garage.
Ben and I will be building a "house" for the compressor soon.

Garage again...
So we cleaned out the garage and pulled the carpet up. Wes came by today and stripped the carpet glue off the floor and laid the stain seal. I had it done in a light gray. With the lights on you can already see it's brighter.
Lisa and I went to Lowes today to look at paint swatches. We're going with a semi-gloss that is scrub-able and resists staining. This is a garage but it is also my home away from home. :)
Here's my pics from today.

Rocker box gauge mount
Decided to try this on for size - the speedometer that's going in it should be here on Fri. or Sat.
21" wheel...
This is the 21" wheel, Avon tire and late model Triumph disk hub I'll be running on my 69 Triumph. I'm sending the hub and wheel off to Buchanan Spoke and Wheel to get laced. They've been doing wheels for a long time and can lace just about any wheel to any hub.
I'm not sure if I'm going to anodize the hub black or chrome the wheel. If I anodize the hub I'll need to do the rear hub and powdercoat the rear wheel. We'll see what I decide to do. Considering the front wheel is the only black piece it'll probably be easier to chrome it and polish the hubs.
