Wow, man you are extremely busy. I know that has to be kinda a strain on your social life? lol

I'm pretty sure updating this thread IS his social life.

nah, I rolled the dollies and locked them so there is about 2" of space between the bumper and door. cant harm the paint, but gives me more then enough room in front of the car where im currently working.
Its a 2.5 car garage, but I wish I made the garage wider and 2 cars deep. But at 26' deep its good enough to get the work done.

If all goes well, and I do decide to build myself the house I have currently been designing for this coming year, the new garage should be hilarious to say the least.

hilarious garages are crucial

I had a dream last night a bunch of money fell into my lap, I bought an average house and built a garage bigger than the house. Seems reasonable. lol

Sounds all quite legit... I can't wait to finish my Engineering degree so I can part take in the happiness

it is. Once the drawings and renderings are complete (i have no free time) i will post some up. Working on the corning museum of glass, a restaurant, two apartments, and a villa on a small island in the carribean, in addition to a long list of products that I am trying to complete for ICFF this year, so lots of work at the office. And then spinFAB in the off hours, and I officially work far too much..

Damn I hope that rear bumper isn't all the way against the garage door

sold the 10-22 last week to put toward some L series glass, so i had to take a few last shots of the garage in winter mode to end the 4 year relationship with this lens. ha. Great lens, as you can tell when close to the 10mm side, it does blow out the perspective a little on things. Which was why i decided to make the upgrade happen. Luckily most of the wheel collection was at the shop, so only the few sets hanging on the wall were in the shot.





now to test out the new lens..

[1badg35]

Thanks guys.

decided that since I am waiting for the second set of coolant hard pipes to arrive, i would get on the task that I have been putting off... the wiring simplification.

This time around, I am basically re-doing the harness and either relocating where things mount up, or hiding it all in the frame rail. Not the most easy task, (as I am not a fan of wiring) but it will be great when its all buttoned up.

so far I pulled the harness section im working on out, and have stripped it back. Labeled the wires that need to be extended or modified in some way.






And yes, that is a bmw grade hide of black leather that I use to protect the car while doing stuff like this. Cant be too careful. haha

lots more to come

[caligra]

I really like this man.
Respect for all the work that has gone into it!

[244Brick]

Just because i really like this GIF

[Mexican]

Wow

[1badg35]

Im going to mess with this new hardpipe a little more once i get my hands on it. I have a few ideas for the pipe now that i have messed with one for a few hours.

Edit- just stared at the pipes for about an hour and got some new ideas. im going to chop these new ones up even more. and completely reroute the way they run altogether. stay tuned should get interesting.

definitely shocked i didnt think of this way first. haha. Now to get this second set of pipes and get to welding and chopping

[Zrob]

Looking great after moving tempsensors! Mabye would look good if you extend the upper pipe so you got less (ugly) hose.

something like this, but pipe all the way:
