That's a pleasant color green Shep, nice !
Yes, I have headlight shell exsperiance that may be of use if you decide to tackle that project. I learned a lot from my 350X head light shell mold,,,, pre-pours, air vents,,, lots of little tricks I had to develop to produce them.
I no longer make them so by all means have at it.

Those 350x shells came out great!! -----i'd be trying the 86/87 200x "if" i'm brave enough, i think i've read that a couple people have tried the 200x in the past but never heard the end result. I'll share my progress/fails if i attempt it.

Santa's bringing me a pressure pot/chamber!

You suppose this guy drove over some freshly painted lines this am..
The picture doesn't do it justice- that fresh yellow paint was everywhere on that side of his pickup.
I was going to say something but he looked like a grouch.
Happy monday

It is always good to have helpers that are trussworthy.

Today I picked up a mint condition 2006 Ford Focus with 42k miles and a nice 2006 BMW R1150RTP Police bike with the radar still in place that I bought from an auction Saturday based on photos alone. I found this extremely cool hydraulic drop deck tandem axle trailer at a rental yard just 5 miles from me. It's killer for hauling obese motorcycles on. I used it for the first time last week week when I had to move my Honda ST1300 Police bike. The white car in the background is a nice 1997 Ford Escort wagon with 42k miles I bought on Friday from an auction in near Sacramento. Those suckers get an amazing average of 30 mpg.

How much back taxes did you have to pay on all those vehicles?

Just wondering, why wood and not steel construction?

Steel structures are nice, but as an amateur builder, I was looking to save some money upfront by not pouring concrete footers that steel buildings require. A barn this size in steel was also big $$ too. To me, wood was also easier to work with, especially when it comes to insulating.

Interesting, I would have thought a steel purlin building would have cost a lot less than wood.

There are no back registration fees on any government vehicle when the gov sells them because they are permanently exempt from registration until they are sold to the public.

You're not worried about the frost "racking" your building all to hell?

Nah, posts are buried 48", with concrete. There's 50 year old pole barns still looking good in my street.

"Interestingly" enough some of us buy and sell metal building supplies for a living and wrench on and ride trikes and bikes after hours. Others spend their time watching conspiracy theory videos 24/7 between naps. Its a diverse and wonderful site.
