I find my self wandering out to the garage looking for something to do.

Has gotten to the point that I almost have all my odds and ends cleaned, striped, primed, and painted. Then I wraped them in bubble wrap and taped em up and stored em in clear plastic storage boxes. In a couple of weeks I will be finished with that and will need to do a written inventory with idents on the boxes.

I can't do another LBC. No room and the wife would get a bit upset I think.

Guess what I need is to find a foot locker of nasty old parts every few months. Kind of hard to find such down this way. Not even anything old and rotted out in the junk yards that I can find for bits. But I will keep looking.

Maybe I am just crazy but it really is satisfying work and keeps me out of the bars.
 
Jack,

You do need to find some nearby storage for Ms. Agatha and start another LBC Project. Wife will need to understand that got to do something to keep you out of trouble. Think about a project to sell. At least that's what you can tell the wife.
 
start goin to the bar while secretly lookin for another car...
youll be back to work in no time :wink:
OR, you could load up a RV and go on a fixin the spridgets tour....stop by my house first, ive got plenty of work for ya! ...zimmmmy
 
Go out and tie one on, come home with a pizza and act real dumb. The next day while nursing the hang over, tell the wife you need a new hobby and want to start building a new car. I bet she agrees whole heartedly!
 
Jack,

Sounds like me when I 'finished' my B. I played around with my Land Rover but it wasn't the same. Yeah, I had no more room and the wife said "NO!", but guess what! I ended up with a Bugeye! LOL! I found the room, and the wife and I just don't talk about it! lolol
 
<span style="font-weight: bold">NO!!</span>
 
COLD!! I'm out cutting grass in low 50-something weather....brrrr
 
Come visit me, Jack. I've got a whole raft of projects... :smile:

Bikes are always a good project -- small and mostly cheaper to do. If I ever take on another project, it will be a bike of some sort.
 
How about another visit to Tony's?? He's got lots of things you could do. :jester:
Then come here after that,and you can play in my garage. :devilgrin:

Stuart. :cheers:

Me too Tony, only 50 degrees here yesterday but I had to cut it before more rain got on it.

Saturday it was 75 - best day so far this year.
Too nice for work, but I did some gardening anyway.

Then I tried out my new zip out rear window top.
That was a very good choice!
Driving with the side windows open & the back window unzipped is fantastic!! I love it! :laugh:
