In any event, I'll take that rate as long as I get to name the building.

For all carbureted work....I defer to the guy who posed just after you. I can work on them but not at the level I would expect.

Yet, my mancave could definitely use a visit from "House Crashers"!
BTW, Still have the bowling bag? I've outgrown my 5 gallon tool pail!

For $65 an hour you can name my kids too. I'm sorry my 4 car 850 sq/ft garage with every possible tool, 220V power, plasma TV, fridge, but without a lift (I have 8' ceilings and post tension concrete slab) isn't sufficient for you any more because you found a new BFF with a lift and tire mounting equipment.....you'll be greatly missed around here (but a few other guys already filled your spot).

Anyway...jerk.....Do you have pics of the new car?

Told you. Out the bottom, 4.5 hours start to finish with a few beers in the process. Rookies........

Jeremy,
What kind of shop are you planning on building?
Extreem show car garage, complete with glass walls and tile floors or just a place to keep you out of the weather? I have a ton of ideas for both if you are interested.

We never would have gotten it out without one.

This could be fun. I want video of the first time Julie has to pull off this introduction, "Hi, this is my husband Jeremy and my son, Eric Jr."

I never said your garage wasn't good enough. I'd love to have a garage as nice as yours.

I guess I should be careful not to trigger feelings of inadequacy in those who may be highly susceptible to those kinds of things.
Don't worry, you'll always be my BGF and you know you could never replace me. Just like a bad case of fungus in the walls of a house, you are never completely rid of me.

I've got the PO's pics from his autotrader ad. I plan to take a bunch of my own tomorrow.
I want to document it well before I/we/you start the next engine swap.

I knew we should have been taking out the bottom but,... Dave's garage, Dave's rules.

Heh, the old lady took it, dumped out the tools, and filled it with shoes. I have never seen so many shoes. I feel like I live at DSW.

Red mustang hasn't moved in some time...went to start it...you guessed it, full of shoes.

I would be open to suggestions for naming the shop and his kids.


The best I've come up with so far is "Weird Al's full service specialists".

I've thought up some really obnoxious kids names but I like Jeremy's kids way too much to do that to them.
