Like the gate, but no embossed GMC?

actually we are going to plan "B" on the tailgate. I am looking to get a peice of sheetmetal stamped with "Syborg" to replace the gmc. Cost may kill this but i'm looking.

instead of stamping, just find someone who can work a bead roller:

Good Morning All,

It's like Christmas in September.
The crew at Bowler Transmission built the new transmission for Syborg and I can't wait to see it in the truck.

Kenny and Travis both said it's a really nice looking piece.

The only problem is that Travis had to help Kenny lift trans out of his truck.
Seems Kenny's been eating to many donuts and skipping the gym.

I'm really happy to be working with the Guy's & Gals at Bowler they are a top notch crew.
I am also very happy that they wanted to be part of my project.

09-22-07 Garage Update

Okay the heat wave has ended in Chicago and I was actually able to get primer on the walls. I still have some touching up to do which shouldn't take more then a day.

I'm hoping to paint the ceiling and the walls this weekend. Still trying to decide on the accent colors on the side wall.

So if you have any advise I would love to hear your suggestions.

Good Afternoon All,

Okay were back to working on the garage again.

This time I've hired some very skilled labor the good news is they work for food and shelter only.

Not only can I paint the trim but I can do an awesome job on my legs Dad.

Yep the bigger one seems pretty good with a roller

Installed the base boards -- they made a huge difference.

Okay it's painted - 7 1/2 gallon of paint later but it's painted.
Now it's time to bring my tool boxes home.

10-16 Garage Update

Spent some time working on the garage this weekend. Didn't do much but because the wife was in Puerto Vallarta.

I was able to get the 8' lights hung. I wanted them to still plug into the ceiling because i plan to hang a shop light on each side of the shop.

Started dragging the cabinets into the garage. Still plan to buy a couple more.

No plans for a lift just yet. If i do put one in it will be on the right side of the garage.

Here is the proposed new Layout for the garage.

Just recieved the new Sear Tool Catalog and they have a new Rack System that I like a bunch.

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

why do you need a TV in the garage? Might as well add a bed so when the wife finds out the build cost you can be comfy living out there

....Marty`s gonna need a "Gopher" (aka "attendant") to take care of the -
1. Syborg, and its bookings
2. Enclosed Trailer and its plasma screen, shower, bathroom, parts rack, ATV, and Direct Satellite hookup
3. Tow Vehicle with tailgating facilities
4. and master Garage.

So the TV in the (master) garage isnt for Marty, but for the body-guard/attendant/gopher/man-servant!
