Keeping out of trouble in the shop
With the current situation globally, I find myself self isolating more in the shop. Just finishing up one of my projects hoping to be finished here soon.
What is everyone else working on to relieve the stress of today’s world

Looks like there’s fun to be had in the shop, I suspect driving that on the street might make trouble quite tempting though

Beautiful project! I have a 74 nova that I’ll pull out and start working on in the near future, hopefully.
My project I’m starting today isn’t as pretty as yours. But it’s my hunting trailer, have a bit of work to do.

Everything in that picture is far too clean.
I spent a lot of time cleaning and organizing the shop, never ending battle. I enjoy it though.

Has a 69 Z28 with RS option package. Sold it for $ 2300.00. I kick my own ass every day for that.

I just ordered some more parts last night for my 69 Bug. Plan to install a new carpet kit, bluetooth vintage look radio, replace windshield wiper shafts, and re-index my rear torsion bars this month before taking her back out on the road for the summer.

Oh boy, I am sure your not alone in parting with Iron you wished you kept. I have a couple more 69's, one Z28 DZ car but motor was gone so it's been refitted with lots of goodies.. The other is a real Yenko, it was my first to collect and has been in storage more or less since 2001....

Beautiful ride, the vintage radios certainly are a nice addition to the old iron... Mind you, I am partial to the exhaust notes

Sledhead71, Not trying to take away from the car. It’s a beauty!!! But is your floor epoxy coated or just painted? If epoxy did you do it or have it done? My next project while locked up is To epoxy my garage.

It’s called GarageGuard. Water based epoxy that I’ve done all my shops and the garage with it. About a 100 a gallon and easy to just roll on. We even did two of our industrial shops with it that see commercial activity daily. Holds up beyond what I and others expected. Good friend talked me into years ago and happy he did, next to no dust and clean up is simple.

Nice ride. Nothing like having a Chevy Rat under the hood. Had two, both 68’s. A Beaumont SD 396 and a Chevelle SS 396.
