Finaly washed the 71 for the first time today (had it since 06) and took a few pictures. Looks OK from 70 feet or so, a few of you have seen it and my shop, not so great up close! Anyway, for better or worse, here they are!

Let me say that I'm just a bit envious of the SF you have for a "shop"... If I get another call to Algona anytime soon I'll have to look you up!!

No teasers here, do we get to see the inside of the shop? Looks great, everyone is envious I’m sure.

I'd love to have a shop 1/2 that size Dan. And, I'm not sure i'd call that '71 a 70 footer unless it's missing the entire left side or somthing I can't see. Very nice pics .

Nice shop Dan. I'm jealous! Wish I had a space to keep all my toys under one roof and even have room to add more to the collection if the opportunity arose.

Lookin' good Dan!
Every car needs a good washing every 5 years or so!

Dan has had to cut corners on his shop by only going with a 32" flat screen TV and single ply in the bathroom.

Jeez Dan, the car looks good from here and I'm 140 miles away.....
Is the "shop" part of the building 40X60 ?

The shop area is 40x60, the office/bathroom maintenance room end is 15x22. I will get some new pictures, these are from the build before the benches, tools, lift, 42" TV and double ply toilet paper were installed.
Seemed HUGE then, got a lot of stuff in there now, running out of space.

Dan, I need to come down again when I have more time to visit... and get another one of those "mile high" burgers in Leland.
(anyone else ever had a burger so good that you think about it for months after eating it?)

We should get everyone down there for a club meeting and out of town BBQ or something like that down there Dan. Do you still have the nice firepit area?
Its time to start getting some old gas station signs and related decorations to put up on the walls.

Anybody and everybody is welcome at any time. Even let Dave S in here a few weeks ago. I would be happy to cook up for however many wanted to make the trip/cruise in type event. Derek has been here for a cookout or two. The firepit is at home, about two miles into town. We have been known to fire up a bonfire in the parking lot though. Had 125 or so here at one time last summer for my class reunion.
Here are some after pictures taken today with stuff in place. Realized today that for a rather messy guy, I am a little anal about the shop. Helps that we have a party in there every month or two and it gets cleaned up. (Made Jambalya for 50 last weekend)

Dan, what do you do for heat?
Dan Williams said

Electric Floor heat. This small tankless heater does the whole place. Keep it at 64* all winter.
