Pat, if you liked that garage you will love this one even though its on the small side. There have been alot of hours spent in here with my dad restoring the MG thats on the lift.

My dad has a 1967 MGB in his garage, his first car. He needs to restore it so he can give it to me.

What's wrong with them old farts anyhow? How come they couldn't buy American?

I've never bought anything but American. Never even had any foreign brands in my wrecking yard. Of course, I'm not an old fart, so guess that explains it.

Bluejay post some more pics!

Here's my roommates project. It's pretty much a garage ornament right now, too. It has a aluminum headed 347 with a built C4. Don't mind the rear wheels sticking out. The rear end is from a Gran Torino just to have something to roll around on.

Check my albums on my profile.

That's a nice project!
