Yea, I see theres no insulation........Nice building, it would be worth the investment when money permits..........heck, a small fire sale of items you wont ever use would probably cover the cost/investment.

well when we open the 3 bay doors it cools off pretty well. (1/2 of the shop has trees) maybe I should hookup the a/c again and cool off the work area :confused:

I have two bay doors to open on opposite walls, but when it is 105° it isn't enough. Especially when doing hot work

Not if you're welding, have steel around and are'nt willing to wipe equipment down with WD40 twice a week.

Eventually, I'll be doing a heat pump.

What are you going to do for smoke Spanky?

Smoke??

Exhaust??..... overhead flexable arm exhaust.

Whenever I weld or cut, there is always some smoke in the air. If you have he shop closed up, it will be real smoky after awhile. I thought about beating that problem with running a 4 ton unit on a 2 ton floor space with the blower running constantly with an electronic air cleaner running.

Now you need a 41 Ford to go with it so you will know how much to charge yourself.

You could get together with my son. He has a 58 Ranchero. Same front clip. It has a rather fast 351 in it.

I wish it had a 351 in it. It would have shed a few tons over the 352 fe block

Well before getting a XJ again i had a few neon's (cheep and fun) I still own this car today. Its a Hahn racecraft stage 5 setup (turbo setup with built motor and a piggyback ecu) The neon on the lift I saved from the crusher, all it needed was the crank turned. it has 340k mikes and still looks good for a 2003

here is the turbo car :D

Yeah I've seen those Hahn racecraft turbo setups run!! I wish I had known about their setups before I got rid of the 98' Eclipse w/ the 420A engine... cause I would have def. enjoyed building that thing up some..
