Yea just messin" I have a full shop too. So I know how easy it is to fill one up when you are into cars. I would love to build a new bigger shop. However I'm pretty sure the local athuority would make me tear down my current one and I'd end up with a net gain of just a few hunderd feet & spend all that money & time.

From my old shop to the new one I gained 350 sqft but
the old one was ready to FALL over... plus I went taller
to put a hoist in.... I really like my shop but I
wanted it 2000 sqft and its only 1140 now

Raff...were NEVER satisfied with the size of our garages/pole barn's/shop's!!! If you did have 2000 sq. ft. it would STILL be filled up with "stuff"! I think you have a real nice set-up...and just the right amount of room to build a 440 stroker,for a "certain" '69' GTX...sometime in the future!

I didn't think it would take long to sell the parts you had listed Mike. It sure seemed like a sweet deal for someone.

I think you meant " a "certain" ' 68 ' GTX..." Mike, I need to come check out your building. I need to build one so bad it's not funny. Check out what ten pounds of sh.. in a five pound bag looks like

Raff,

Good to see things sold.
What was the list? Did you have any heads?

I searched under your name in the Parts section, but you deleted the list instead of just adding SOLD to the top of the listing.

Being the kind hearted guy I am, I'd take the blower off your hands for a song.... heck, maybe even a dance...

I'm half tempted just to pick up a 440 just because. Been out of the cars so long I feel incomplete without a spare block or something taking up space in my garage.

3 years ago I switched to motorcycles, it saves a considerable amount of space.

your singing....

I know Im just razzin them guys I thought after seeing your old shop you would have been fine with room with your new one. But I guess what they say is right " if you build it bigger you will just need more room anyways"
