    Scott,
    I told Dan yesterday that he needs to pay you an agent fee! In addition to the round trip on Joel's he took another of mine from here to Florida and has upcoming round trips to/from me for ones from Texas and Colorado. You made a good find!

    Jeff great job on the paint, just seems like yesterday I was following along your bodywork thread. You have really stepped up your game. Joel what a nice build, beautiful car you built. I was planning Deep Impact Blue, but not you got me second guessing my color choice that Guardsman Blue looks real nice.

    HA! Dan and his wife are good people. They did a great job for me and I am glad to pass their name along. I tried to use them recently to move a car I bought in Pennsylvania but could not make their timetable work out. They stay pretty busy.

    I had to fix a ball joint issue (drivers side had backed out), so tomorrow I’ll get it out for a drive and some pics. Believe me, it’s been more painful for me to have it back and not be able to drive it!

    And while its not a 427 under the hood, I felt I should get a pic of 427 on the odometer.

    I think so. Obviously weather dependent and how tired I am from the UGA game on Saturday.

    I'm ready to call #9028 graduated!
    I'll do a graduation thread once I have some time and a nice day to do a photoshoot.

    The last piece was the door sill. I did't want to do carpet, so I made some leather wrapped panels for the vertical area below the door and then cut some mahogany for an inlay on the door sill area. I love the way it plays off the wood steering wheel.

    Its not mine, but I assume it is one of these (http://www.factoryfiveparts.com/1493...nose-wall-art/) that he was doing for someone else at the same time as mine.

    Joel's right, it's wall art that I shot for my friend Aaron while I was set up for Slick Sand. Whenever he gets around to giving it a final sand I'll paint it the same Viper Blue/Arctic White as the roadster he sold last June (been preoccupied prepping for the Gen 3 Coupe that will be arriving in a week or so )

    I recently moved and am now in the process of planning a 2 car garage addition. 1 bay will be a workshop (woodworking and car stuff) and the other will be Roadster parking and eventually a lift.
    I'd love any suggestions or ideas from you guys on garage must haves or things I should consider.

    Once had a house with a garage that was huge. The man who built the house has a 16' boat and you could pull it in and close the door. I was spoiled when I lived there. It was 26' deep and 26' wide. Room for 2 cars, motorcycle, workbench, freezer and LOTS more... and an 8' tall door (instead of a standard 7'). And if you want a lift, not sure how tall it needs to be.

    Are you building it yourself?

    Get the garage door opener that mounts on front wall so no stuff hanging in the way of the lift. Put 220v in the garage for the lift and potential future welder. Get a tall ceiling.

    I am not building it myself - it is going to attach to the current house structure, so that along with permits, inspections, etc i'm leaving it to professionals.

    The floor plan will be 20'x23'
    My ceiling height will be between 10'4" and 11'8" based on the slope (and working around existing structures), which may not let me get full height on the lift with the cobra on top, but certainly enough to get under it comfortably and store another car underneath if need be. I am leaning toward a 4-post lift, but that will be a later addition.
    I am planning for a jackshaft door opener and we are adding a new electrical 220 subpanel with a large number of outlets on the workshop side.

    Some items I need to figure out:
    Air compressor size/brand
    Dust collection?
    Bench tool storage & layout (drill press, grinder, mitre saw, router, table saw + potential new tools like a band saw)

    Get the biggest air compressor you can stomach paying for. I always wish I had bigger and quieter.

    I have about 1200 miles on the car now and things are doing great, with the exception of a power steering fluid leak (https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/show...-Steering-Leak).
