Do you get tired of bouncing off the walls in that garage? I know I do in my 20'X 10" "workshop".

And working in a small garage with hand tools proves you dont need a big shop to get quality results...I work in a 50 bay shop that we can play base ball in ...Doesn`t make the work any nicer

I hear what you're saying Anthony the problem I got is that I have stuff on one wall and it's just so tight it's a really tight squeeze to get under the car on the passenger side. I have to squeeze myself in there. I got about two and a half feet in front of the car that's it and I work off a small Black & Decker folding table but like you said it's not the size of the garage it's the quality of the work. I think I'm doing all right for an old goat

I'm hoping to have the car finished by July or August. if I do I'd like to come up to Long Island and the both of us show up at a show with two mid-60s Rambler station wagons
