Gauges all working now. Still have to sort out the clock. Had to put her on skates to free up the lift for a friend's brake job tomorrow.

Please understand that this garage is the natural consequence of having Car Owner Virus.

I will post pictures of the new battery cables tomorrow.

I do not think that is a home garage. If it is you can adopt me.

I just spent 2 hours getting a door panel so it will go on. You have to cut away the vinyl on the back side that covers half the clip holes.
66 stroker, almost done.
67 basket case, paint coming soon.

Well, the 10 car garage is at my office building. A legitimate business expense. If you're ever in Tampa Bay you are welcome to come for a visit (over the bridge in SeminoleFL). This will include the cigar lounge if you are so inclined. All roadster fans are welcome!

If my garage was completely clear of almost everything I could put 4 roadsters in there. No thanks, 2 is already too many. Rather have a roadster and a new Z in there. They have a Nismo at the dealer for 70k plus and it's kind of ugly. Some kind of gray with red highlights.

Wish I saw this earlier … I was just in Tampa on Wed/Thursday last week and then 2 days in Ft Myers’s and then back through Tampa.

I’ll be in Tampa fairly regularly for work so maybe I’ll reach out sometime for a visit. Looks like your project is coming along nicely!

Today I installed my new to me fuse box cover, thanks to Mike Ypung. After some spit and polish, she looks good installed.
