Default Restored Garage/Workshop

Hi all, I don't know if this link has ever been posted on here before, but check out the work done by this guy in Illinois restoring this old workshop:-

http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=51567

Be prepared for a long haul though, it is up to 340 pages, but it is incredible.

Yeah......I found it in the Memory Lane section.
Read the whole thread over a couple of days.

I'm almost addicted to reading through some of the other builds too...

Me too, I am only up to page 17 so far though. Hmmm, to have unlimited funds and time. They obviously pay pilots too much in the good old USA.

It is pretty but it is a shame he didnt create more of the atmosphere of the 1930s workshop.
