Man I wish i was made of money, but I am not, all dreams. maybe one day. Until then this will just be my new dream thread for Havoc.

So for now thewish list is up to:

Fuel injection
coilovers
new fromt lighter crossmember with a rack in it
6 speed
maybe a turbo

then of course a full finish.

Does anyone know someone that can do a rendering. I would really love one done of the final product of havoc. Let me know. thanks

its all relative isnt it?
for some havoc is already their dream truck.

Wow, you made my heart sink there a little bud. Thnakyou. I don't even know how to express my gratitude for that comment. That meant alot. And you are right it is all relative. If it was not for dreams what do we have!

There's a lot of people that have money that would love to have your skill set. Money is easier to acquire than talent, especially to the level of skill you have.

Thankyou Steve, you are right, I know alot of ppl that always ask me for advice. I love giving it and helping out. I really appreciate the comment. I am a fairly humble person when it comes to what I do. I love doing it and that is the biggest thing for me. Always have and always will. I am just starting a new project for myself (pics attached) and when this is done, it will be my new lease on life. Start fresh you could say. got a few projects to do yet for ppl, but in the end I will have some money saved for Havoc to get her some bling and get her done. Repsectfully looking I hope. Mostly original looking but at the same time PURE sinister hot rod underneath!!

Thought I would show all of you what I am currently up to. Gonna reorganize my garage, the clutter is driving me up a wall, i need some cabinets and workbench that is proper for me to work in. OUr garage is like our wives kitchens. They love them and I love this!! so Here is a start picture. Oh and this is what 6 years of welding will do to the color of your walls in your garage!! So the color scheme is gonna be white walls again, red cabinet doors and drawer fronts, black cabinets with white insides. a 16' foot corner bench, 8' both bays with a steel top. a nice large stereo sustem ( gotta have my tunes). Should be good. I hope.

[jonny..2008]

i had to work all night last night to get a horizontal surface and floor space before i could even begin working in the new space i am in.(six foot ceiling and 34 inch door)
stay focused on the remodel. it will make every project after so much easier.

especially with that nice suite of tools you have.

if thats a sheet metal brake i covet that.

[watahyahknow]

over here they often use cheap kitchen cabinets they work good enough and have little feet on the bottom to adjust for a wonky floor you can build a good height workbench with lots of storagespace fast

[Slick67]

Yep, we gotta have a man cave! Sure it will look great when you are done!

Thanks, I remember the days of working in a little shop heated by a old pot belly stove, I am very fortunate with what I have! And yes it is a brake/slip rope/shear all in one

I would use kitchen stuff, but used is fetching a premium now, 1500 is cheap for crappy used stuff, mine is gonna cost about 2 in the end I believe.

I so agree, I have wanted to do this for so long I just decided to pull the trigger and do it!

I know what you are talking about with organizing garage space. I guess I was in luck here with craigslist. I got FREE used kitchen cabinets and painted them with extra garage paint to match. I can hear my stereo 3 blocks away and it has an iPod hook up and I can stream music with my wifi from the house. If I get really bored I also have a flat screen tv. These pics were during construction of the garage, wires are hidden and cabinet doors are on now.

[longbed67]

Holy buckets! Thats quite an overnight change... or are you feeding us some old photos? or is the date stamp on your camera screwy?

[Dieselwrencher]

That garage looks sweet man!

Wow, that is awesome, you were lucky to get those, Irish. I have searched and searched with no luck. That is why I am gonna build mine now. As for the stere, mine is the same, neighbors always know when I am givin her. But they lie the music so all good!
