    My modest home shop.

    I sold a 1968 Mustang to make room for it. So many times I've been approached to do side machining jobs that I could have done on a Bridgeport in my garage. Now I can.

    I decided to start building up inspection tools for my home shop. And keep my others at the day job shop. Boy tools sure have gone up in price since I bought my others 24 years ago.

    Your going to have to get rid of the car. It takes up to much space that would be better utilized for more tools.

    Once I get a lathe the car will go into storage until I get my own building. Then it can come back. You can only do so much in a two car garage. Once I get to a point where it's time to invest in CNC's then it's time to make the jump into an industrial building.

    Thanks. I really wasn't interested in owning a standard C4 corvette. But if I was it was going to be one of the two most ferocious ones ever made. And that would be the ZR-1 or the Callaway twin turbo BK2. And like me the people that have them don't drive them much to keep them pristine with low miles.
