The Mach 1 is currently being stored at my buddy's ranch with his classic car collection.  Still working out some bugs on the car, we bought it from my brother after it sat for 5+ years [he lost interest after losing his muscle car buddy] I have some of my bikes in one of the other buildings.

Thanks.  Getting a lot of blow by in the valve covers, a buddy with Mustangs suggested installing a valve cover breather with a PCV valve in it, did that the other day. The Edelbrock intake had a port that was plugged, my local Autozone had a fitting, hose and breather cap for about $40.  And last time I drove it, it ran hot [220F], the electric fan did not seem to be working. So I plan to change that out when I get back from Central America.

The season here is now...I missed it.  I've been to 3 car shows in the last month w/o it.  Oh well...

Here's my shop at the moment. It's still in winter mode. Pretty soon we'll get the boxes and stuff put away so nothing is in the way of getting a bike out.

[grcamna2]

Kelly,you've got plenty of sq. ft. in your shop

Things got very busy right after I took that pic, so no more. The bike, as tested, was set up the same as the last attempt on the salt, which was 10 MPH slower than the previous record. The dyno showed the jetting was too lean, which may have been the major cause of the loss of top speed?? We didn't get the chance to experiment with jetting or explore ignition timing...

Got some cleaning done in the shop over the last 2 days.
Parts bike moved onto the lift to pull the motor.
Super happy with my vintage cabinet. As well. It was just what I needed.

Funny. I’ve got a cabinet like that (red) that came out of a shop called “Gyro Motors”. A local place I worked at when I was a teenager! Datsun/ Alfa Romeo sales and service! I pulled it from a scrap bin when the building was being demolished….. It’s been sitting in my barn for 10+ years. Tomorrow I clean it up!

[Gurp]

That's awesome!!!
Post pics!!!!
I got a buddy that does cleanups and stuff he told me he gets them fairly often sells them 20 or 25 bucks a pc. He doesn't have room to sit on stuff to get more money. Just quick turns.
I've been offering to help him build a building and price some stuff hopefully he does or save a few and flea market them.

[newday777]

My man cave.... Just added another 26' to have a total of 11'×35'.

[Gurp]

New day that's awesome!!
Big space there!!


I got some cleaning up over the weekend from the frame partout and fixing both cars as they went down.
Now in get the 500 in there to take the frame. And a load of gravel.
Figured after gravel I'll build a pallet shelf. And be able to better organize stuff.

 I have been organizing my bike storage area where I do take them apart and buff parts that need buffing,set those parts aside until rebuild time,that's when all that buffing pays off, everything is cleaned,painted or buffed and ready to go on as needed ,when needed, no fooling around. Engines and paint will still be happening in the garage so the finished bikes and the space don't get any dirtier than they have to. My wife had to get a giant sectional for the living room at home now this space also sports the last couch and chairs...way more comfortable now ,it'll be even better when the TV gets set up.

The red 550 is looking well cared after.

RB (Rich), Nice...
Gurp, would some concrete paving stones give you a better surface for rolling the jack around rather than dragging it through the gravel? I need to buy a bunch to make a sid surface for me to work on the VStrom as an oops with the VStrom when doing tires and it was on the center stand didn't end well and not I have to repair the plastic fender, fiberglassing the underside to bridge the broken area with West Systems. Broke one side after trying to reorient the direction the bike was pointing after the front wheel was off and on the center stand and managed to knock it off (forward) the center stand and that cracked and broke the right side of the fender nearly in half way point from the side. Shouldn't be very noticeable if I can keep the bleed out or under the tape in check inside the crack. It pisses me off a bit. But it is just a bike, I will troll eBay for one going cheap in good shape...

Usually it's closer to the door. Just keep it in there so it's out of the weather.
I'd thought about paving stones.
I do like them few bags of sand and a load of stones goes a long way!
