It depends. Im not an expert. I think he got lucky on his purchases. They only needed minor repairs, exactly what he wanted, and slightly under his budget. We had been shopping for awhile and lost a lot of Bids because the price got stupid.Are the prices any good (nowadays) at Ritchie Bro’s? Have to pick up some too.
That's a bunch Of cabinetry, holy crap!
Love the old Sun machine, grew up working on one of those, I doubt most could even read a kv pattern
Only reason I wanted to find one was for the scope. Good when you have a goofy miss...new cars you plug in a computer and it will tell you cylinder missing and such. Finding a worn timing gear or stretched chain on a 60yo motor...find the low tech translation device
Thanks! Here’s a few more, I think I’ve posted some of these somewhere here before.
Haha, I know who you are. I just noticed your screen name.

The house garage:

The Courtyard, the two bays on the right are just storage. The kink is that the doors are only 7' tall. The door by the RV is the shop.

The RV Garage that just happens that the door is 6" too short to get the RV in. The trusses are fine so the fall project is to rebuild the door.

The inside of the RV Garage. The wife owns most of the left side and the loft as storage.

The inside of the shop from the East and West. This is in the middle of a restructuring and reorganizing. I inherited the shelving and benches when I bought the place and then the FIL died and I ended up with his stuff. The issue was it then sat for several years due to family politics. Now I am just getting around to putting it away.

Much of my storage has its own issues but they are issues I am willing to deal with .......
"Family Politics" LOL
Been there done that, Damn worse than a Soap Opera
That was a fun car, at some point I'll have another...Good times with the Lincoln!
No shit on the cost of tractors and equipment. I talk to Big Rog about it often. My brother in law and I frequent Ritchie Bros too. He just grabbed an excavator and skid steer.
House and shop are moving along. We’ve been in the house about a year and a half. You can see the shop progress above. I’ll admit, I bit off a little too much of “build it yourself“, but it’s the only way I could truly afford to build what I have, where I have it. Between the insane amount of hours we are getting forced to work (Covid and fires) and the kids getting into competition dance, my projects are stacking up
394ci SB2 Chevy
...and that, my good man, is why I have never attempted building a header. Sure, tweaked angles and added bends, but that is a damn pretzel!
Our Cobalt is what they car a front wheel drive conversion, it has a 9inch rear end, turbo 400 and a Nascar based SB2 394in engine
35’s with 3.5 lift according to website. It’s a gateway coyote build.
winner......
Hey, dont you owe us some vids of that sweet K5 about now?
Well back to normal now...Just took in the former K390, Distant Thunder for some rerigging...she’ll be running a 383 stroker Small Block for the Parker Enduro this year
I can just imagine!Ask Steve about the time he met Grich at Grich's house.
I think it goes to 7’, not sure. I have 10’ ceilings in there. It’s close. It’s great. One post would be awesome.
Is the floor the interlocking mats? Do you like them?
