Carter
I have the business coupe. Can I do a flame job on that program? Also how much is it and will you take a check? If so then let me know and I will send you out a check when I get the info. Can you just do the paint on it or can you change rims, etc? Sorry for all the questions and off topic but I have been wanting to ask you about this and keep forgetting and I have an idea for my car but can't find any other ideas on other cars that I wan't...

We salvaged a hundred year old bar from a tavern that was being renovated across the street.
I want to do something unique on the bar top.
I have a bunch of old car keys, ads, pictures and old titles from the 30's that I'm think'n about embedding in a clear resin on the top.
Am I stupid for putting the titles in there?
Any other ideas on what I might include to keep with the automobilia theme?
Oh Very COOL idea!!!! It would be neat (in my opinion) to add photos or copies of vintage photos that include people with their cars...I remember my grandparents having a picture of them with their 1st car they bought together after they got married in the late 30's...it's not antique...but i'd send ya a 70's ad for a Trans Am he he he...i kept thinkin i'd frame it but never did...OH, that gives me another idea...famous movie cars...lol Oh anyway, Where are you going to put the bar...and will it still be used as a "bar'?Quote:

GREAT suggestion to include old family photos!
Now I have to go through the family photo albums.
The bar is now in the old "Parts Room" of the old Studebaker dealership that we are renovating.
yes ...we will use it as a bar...already "christened" it!
Thanks

Tom,
The title thing can get a bit touchy. In some states it may not be a problem to "recycle" a title. In our state it's a class C felony. The "recycled" title thing is at the root of the big hubbub in California right now that has prompted the state to recall titles/registration on a goodly number of Cobra folks, and led to the infamous raid on Coddington's, and probably others.
There are legitimate collectors of titles who just want them for display (at least that's what they claim), sorta like expired stock certificates. It's pretty much your call as to whether you want to risk getting involved in any potential problems down the road. I suspect other states will be watching California and copying their crack down. It would make interesting conversation around the bar though.
Another thing to consider is old matchbook covers with an auto theme. You can sometimes find a box load at an antique store or garage sale for not too many dollars. If you can find them the ration stickers from WWII are also neat automotive items. I think they've been repoped too.
Speaking of stock certificates, if you found one for Studebaker that would be cool. I have an old Hudson Motor Co one I would be interested in contributing for the Embedment Cause if you're so inclined.
Tom ~ I just remembered that there is an old mural in the downtown area where I live. It's a big brick wall and on it in faded chipped lettering is a graphic for an old Studebaker dealership that must have been there at one time. I could take a pic of it sometime for you if you think you might use something like that
This is a clip from a local paper:
"Commercial history exposed. Repair work on the west wall of the Good Earth building on Seventh Street has exposed advertising signs for some long-gone Holland business, including a Studebaker dealership. Our feedback to building owner Rick Mosher: Leave the old signs exposed as a testament to Holland's commercial history."
And this is a link to an article about the owner of that dealership...
http://www.thehollandsentinel.net/st...31904035.shtml
It might be fun to get different Studebaker Memorabilia from old dealerships...since that's where you live...Just another thought.
Have Fun!

Hi there guy's.............I think my garage is pretty cool:HMMM: .
it's about 43 degrees today:whacked: .
'THE NAKED NINJA'' with goosebumps.
Yes I would be interested in a photo of that old mural.
I have been acquiring some old Studebaker stuff. In fact I missed out on a pair of 52 Studes. Actually I had to pass on them as I just have so much going on these last two years. Getting 2 more project cars was not a good idea. I'm sure I'll live to regret it some day as I have a picture of the "showroom" from 1952 with a Studebaker in it.
Lot's of old timers stop by with stories about when they bought a car here.
Regarding that mural, we have a local artist that restored some of the old murals here in town. They really seem to add some historical flavor to our downtown. You may want to suggest that to the powers that be rather than painting over it.
For all you garage junkies...check out this website:

ohekk, your the one with the stude place with the home on top right? When is that show comming out, I was thinking about it last week because I was reading something on how NOT to have a home on top of a shop like that because fumes, etc will rise and get in there and then I thought about your shop (if that is you with that shop, couldn't remember).
I have a freight elevator (platform) inQuote:

NO! get out of my shop!
Now we're trying to find a used 2500# elevator to take us from the shop up to the residence (13').
New elevators are rather pricey!
anybody got any suggestions?

AWESOME!
I love the before & after shots. It provides inspiration for us all!
Thanks!
I like how you tiled the wall around the compressor. What was the rationale for that? Cleanup? Just curious!
Nice sink!
What is the blue stuff on the ceiling above the workbench?
OH... and what happened to the Mustang?
Thank you- it was a ton of hard work, the walls used to be plaster and wire lathe. I filled up three- 5 yard dumpsters with plaster. One wheelbarrow at a time. The blue stuff is a section of the ceiling that drops down lower than the main ceiling. I painted it blue instead of white. I put the knee wall by the compressor to make a little work area, and i tiled the walls for just that reason, easy cleanup. just wipe em off! The third garage is on that side, thats where i keep my Oldsmobile (the one in my avatar). As far as the mustang goes, its a 69 mach 1 351, 4 speed m code that is presently parked behind the garage outside awaiting restoration. Thank you for the kind words, and the year of hard work has paid off big time, its so nice to have a clean comfortable place to work on my projects.
Dan
Awesome looking shop Dan!! Nice work!!
I had to wait a few years before my shop was up. I still have to finish insulating it, and getting the sheetrock up on the walls, but my projects are finally out of the weather and I have room to work. It was tough moving Christmas decorations out of the way, moving extra vehicles out of the shop etc, just to open the doors or get the jack under the truck when I was trying to work in the two car garage.....
With patience, hard work, and an understanding wife, I finally got my shop up last summer. 36'x40'x12' clear span. My plan for this summer, in between tinkering with my projects, is to finish the insulation, etc. and get some kind of coating or tile on the floor. :)
Great job Dan, thats absolutely beautiful.

We watched the premier episode of HGTV reZONED with Tony Frassrand last night
Sunday 8:30 CDT.
They featured an old train station, Church, bank and a ferry that was converted into living spaces.
It was a pretty neat program and I like how it was produced.
It will be interesting to see how our project shows.
Tentative air date is Sunday November 20
Stay tuned
Awsome! Yeah give us another reminder of the time and date again because I do NOT want to miss your house. Sounds really sweet!
the 36 I recently acquired needs a shop. Maybe by next April, I'll have the Indian paid, and the stepson will buy 'his' house out from under me( 69K$) and then I'll be free to finally get my shop. I am thinking about something with at least two lifts, plus lots of room to work.. so maybe a 5 car shop. Am even toying with the idea of 'renting' out a stall by-the-week. It would be a hassle, but would pay for the mortgage.
HGTV Episode #108 featuring our project has been rescheduled for Sunday Dec 25th.
Sorry for any inconvenience!
Did any one see the show last night where a guy bought an entire city block?
Nice 55 Ford convertible, Crown Vic and sopme model A's
Remind us again the day before this thing comes on so I don't forget!!! I have been waiting to see this thing ever since you told us about it. EVERY time I go through that channel I think of your place wondering how sweet it would be to have it.
Larry... it's sad to say but the Church steeple is gone!Quote:

The Church started on fire last night and is a total loss!

Oh man, that thing added to the appearance! Sad to hear....
"The Church started on fire last night and is a total loss!"
WOW, what a shame, it was a neat backdrop to your new place.
BTW, I'm glad they rescheduled the show, I was in Central America in November relaxing and shooting pics of Mayan Ruins. I didn't see ONE HOT ROD or cool garage the whole time I was there:(
This pic of me was shot in Guatemala at the Mayan ruins called Tikal:

Here's shot of the showroom
Any pictures of the black car in the back there too? Good looking rods!
As I mentioned, HGTV filmed our renovation project where we converted an old Studebaker dealership to our home and hobby shop.
The program is called "ReZONED".
Our home is featured on show #108 which is scheduled to air:
- 12/25/05 at 8:30pm and 12:30am CST
- 1/08/06 at 6:00pm CST
- 1/16/08 at 9:30pm and 1:30am CST
We've not seen it yet so not sure what to expect.
Check it out!
