And the project continues...

It seems like the show never ends. I have found myself wrapped with so many activities that I soon hope to continue my '47 Aerosedan frame-off restoration. Presently, I have been working in my garage to get it "work worthy". We bought the house with a garage so bare. Only one outlet and bulb were present. If I am going to piece a car together there, this set-up isn't going to work for me. So, thanks to my dad's help, we wired the entire garage with 110 volt outlets all around as well as some 220V for the welders and 60-gal compressor. I plan on doing some fabrication there and use my media blast cabinet to clean parts to bare metal status. After the electrical wiring was installed, all of the insulation was installed (except for the garage doors) in the ceiling and walls. About 90% of all the drywall has been placed except for a wall on the south end. I presently have the taping, sanding, and wall painting to take care of. After this, I'll be applying the epoxy floor to give it a nice finish. I'll soon post pics of the garage. I want to make sure it looks pretty sharp as my first garage I own.

For the past one and a half years, I have been involved with a project with Eddie Alvarez, doing a website focusing on 1954 and below cars. My interest in these particular cars has been evident since my dad first brought home a 1940 LaSalle when I was a sophomore in high school. I wanted to share my passion for the cars with others that enjoyed them as well. Fortunately, the website has grown over the years and has gotten really great members there, many I consider great friends. I now want to pursue other avenues in the "Internet projects" by creating a website dedicated to the build of the 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline, from the ground up. This is how I have worked all my life - creating new goals and challenges to make life that much more enjoyable. Therefore, check often here as my new focus will be this online blog, journal, etc on what happens in the life of "Aeroman".
